SHAPE Weekly Newsletter

8th September 2025


Welcome Back!

We hope you all had a fantastic summer break and are feeling refreshed and ready for the year ahead. The SHAPE Team is excited to be working with you all and looking forward to the year ahead.

We’d also like to start the term with a special celebration—huge congratulations to our very own India, who said “I do” over the weekend! Please join us in sending warm wishes to India and Callum for a joyful future together.

Don’t forget to check out the Events Calendar on our website. We’ve already added a few events—mainly football, which kicks off at the end of the month for Years 5 and 6. We’re currently waiting for confirmation from our secondary schools for the rest of the events. They’ll be available to book as soon as possible. We’ll keep you updated!

Remember, if you have any news, achievements, or shout-outs that you would like us to share with our affiliated schools, please email l.caton@brookfieldcs.org.uk and we will include them in the newsletter.

Warm regards, SHAPE Learning Partnership Team
