Our Wellbeing Ambassadors have arranged for us to take part in the 'Bunny Hop' this year to help raise funds for Pendleside Hospice.
Your child will be completing a sponsored hop on Thursday 24th April 2025 on the school field. The event is designed to be a fun, physical activity that the pupils can enjoy taking part in with their friends, whilst supporting a local, worthwhile cause.
Your child will be bringing home an envelope in which they can collect sponsorship. Sponsorship to take part in the Bunny Hop is not compulsory, however the hospice kindly asks that a minimum of £1 donation is made to cover the Hospice's costs for sponsoring this event. If your child is sponsored please ensure that they only ask relatives and close friends known to them. Please also ensure that all details on the sponsorship envelope are completed before returning to school.
Pendleside Hospice has kindly provided each child with a set of eco-friendly bunny ears, an Easter treat and a certificate for taking part.
Many of you may already know about the hospice which cares for people who have been diagnosed with cancer and other life limiting illnesses and supports families and their carers. The hospice relies on donations to help fund the £6.2million annual costs.
We hope you will be able to support this event in any way you can.
During their time at Wellfield Church School, children will spend over 9,000 hours at school. With such a huge amount of time spent in the classroom and playground, we feel it is essential that we provide an environment which promotes emotional wellbeing and healthy minds. The social and emotional skills, knowledge and behaviours that our pupils learn in the classroom can help them to build resilience and set the pattern for how they will manage their mental health throughout their lives. Emotional wellbeing can impact on academic achievement, success and satisfaction in later life. Evidence shows that mental health and wellbeing programmes in schools, can lead to significant improvements in children’s mental health, and social and emotional skills.
At Wellfield Church School, we have a team of Wellbeing Ambassadors who support the whole school approach to mental health, emotional resilience and growth mindset. The ambassadors work with the school's pastoral team in providing a supportive environment to their peers. They are extremely enthusiastic to provide a friendly, smiling face and help whenever needed.

2) To welcome new children, staff and visitors to the school.
