Here to support families and the wider community.
Welcome to our Community Hub.
The hub is a brand-new initiative to Sheffield Springs Academy designed to support our students, their parents and carers and our local community.
We know that communities are strongest together and this forms a central part of our hub ethos. We are committed to building positive relationships with the community the hub serves and to enabling community members to act on things that they care about.
Our aims are to:
- Help our local community lead healthier, happier and better-connected lives.
- Reduce isolation among our parents/carers and the wider community.
- Offer a safe and supportive environment, in which local residents can thrive.
- Promote change driven by both the school and the community.
- Provide opportunities for community members to get involved, participate, volunteer, learn and to develop their skills and talents.
- to improve social community cohesion.
Why:
- Work with, and for, the local community
- Signposting to support or advice
- Utilising the skills and organisations within the community, this will extend and enrich learning opportunities and positively influence change
- Tackling poverty and other social issues
- Increase adult learning opportunities – in turn increasing support that children receive from their families
- Develop our facilities to help the community – improved perception of SSA
- This all benefits the school and links directly to the strategic priorities
Sheffield Springs Academy Community Hub is run by our Community Hub Lead: Sean Greaves who can be contacted on the following e mail address: Sean.Greaves@sheffieldsprings .org
Have Your say
Community voice is very important to us. We regularly sample the views and opinions of the community to be sure that we focus on the things that matter to you. Look out for the half termly community newsletter and follow the school on social media to see what we are currently working on, events that are coming up or things you can get involved in.
What's On ?
These activities are regular activities. As our community hub develops, there will be more activities on offer. Keep looking at this page.
Other one off events will be advertised here.
We look forward to meeting you!
