The start of the new academic term marks the launch of the Social Emotional and Mental Health High Needs (SEMH HN) Pathway. The purpose of the pathway is to reduce risk of exclusions for children presenting with SEMH needs and has been adapted to anticipate the launch of the Emotionally Based School Avoidance pathway, due to be launched in October.
The work of the SEMH High Needs team is primarily to support the prevention of exclusion through early intervention and responsive support.
All forms to request support via this pathway can be found on the local offer page here.

Dear teacher,
Hopefully, since I last wrote to you, your students have had a chance to begin creating their poems to enter into Lichfield Cathedral’s poetry competition The Word. But I do understand that the end of term is a busy period for teachers and students alike, so don’t worry if you’ve not had a chance yet. There is still time: the deadline for entries is the 3 October 19, National Poetry Day.
As you prepare for the next academic year, perhaps you could think about including this into your lesson planning – it would be a great way to start the new term and to engage your students in poetry.
