ukactive and Lancashire Mind to deliver a tailored and affordable workplace health offer to Lancashire-based SMEs. As a result of this 3-year programme, employees across the county will be empowered to take ownership and improve their own health and wellbeing, whilst businesses will benefit from a healthier, happier and more resilient workforce. In response to the increased levels of poor health within Lancashire’s workforce, the programme offers two main services to businesses in the form of the ESF-funded Workplace Health Champion Training and the government-backed Workplace Health Screenings service. The free training includes basic skills (Mathematics, English and ESOL) and a Level 2 and Level 3 NCFE-accredited qualification for those individuals who wish to drive change in their organisations and create a network of health ambassadors across the county. The screenings, focused on employees aged 50+, combine a physical health assessment and mental health element to produce a unique tool for employees to learn more about their own health. The programme has undertaken a robust training and pilot phase over the last 12 months, where staff from leisure trusts and local authorities have undergone extensive training to deliver both the Workplace Health Champion Training and the Workplace Health Screening service. Businesses can learn more about the programme at www.activelancashire.org. uk Employers interested in participating in one or both of the services can also register on the website.

It’s like we’ve never been away! We have had a fabulous start to the school year, welcoming new pupils into school, in Reception class as well as other classes too. Pupils have already been out in the allotment and nature garden as well as out up on the sea wall. They have made use of the outdoor areas whilst the weather is still being kind,

although even if the weather isn’t so good, we are often wrapped up and out and about! Assemblies have now begun to take place; infant, junior and whole school celebration assembly which families are welcome to join us on a Friday; the feeling of a more normal school week has been so welcoming and to see everyone coming together after spending so much time apart has been wonderful – long may this continue. A huge well done to Team Carter’s for achieving Level 3 in the RHS Schools Gardening Awards; whilst we can, there will be a stall for produce on the drive at the end of the school day; donations welcome – We believe the tomatoes have gone down a storm! Y5 have now also received their Green Blue Peter badges which were achieved in Year 4 – fantastic! They completed tasks around environmental and recycling issues as a class. As you read this our newly appointed Eco Warriors will be busy making plans for this school year on continuing to achieve our Eco School Award; we will keep you updated of our progress. Monday 4th – Thurs 7th October sees us holding our Open Week; welcoming prospective families to come into school to see us in action!
