• International links are referred to when the opportunity arises in class and through international opportunities in school.

Around time of deployment

• Families will be given our Deployment Pack to use if they wish.
• We have purchased a selection of books for children to read in school with Mrs Clifton or to take home around the time of deployment.
• The school can purchase a huggable hero for the children.
• Children can take part in one of our social and emotional interventions to support with their feelings and experiences.
