October 2024 | Kent Mental Wellbeing Awards

We are very proud to have been awarded a Highly Commended status by the Kent Mental Wellbeing Awards. 

The wellbeing initiatives at our school have had a profound impact on the overall environment, enhancing the experiences of both pupils, staff, parents, and the wider school community.

The Wellbeing Award for Schools and our newly awarded status highlight our success, and the positive feedback from staff and pupils underscores the effectiveness of the wellbeing program at TRS. 

Wellbeing will continue to remain a focus going forward.

September 2024 | Equine Facilitated Learning

What are the benefits of EFL to pupils of TRS?​

Winston Churchill once said: “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.”​

Spending time with horses has been proven to have huge benefits for wellbeing. Participating in EFL has shown that young people are supported to develop skills such as communication, self-control, problem solving and accountability, as well as improving self-esteem, confidence, and independence.  ​

Is EFL available to all pupils?​

The EFL program at TRS is run on a 5-week cycle, with 12 pupils in small groups of 4 participating each week. The programme is offered on rotation, so pupils (depending on attendance) have the opportunity to take part in this activity!​

19 June 2024 | Leavers Day Celebration

Last week, we celebrated the hard work and achievements of our Year 11 students with a memorable Leavers Day celebration. We spent the day reminiscing and creating new memories with an awards assembly, followed by a BBQ and treats.

A big thank you to the parents, teachers, and friends who have supported our students along the way. Your guidance and encouragement have been invaluable.

Here's to the Class of 2024!

You've all worked hard and grown so much. This milestone marks the end of one chapter and the exciting beginning of another.

We’re proud of what you've accomplished and look forward to seeing what you achieve next.

April 2024 | TRS Little Farm

We are very excited to announce that The Rosewood School has installed an animal paddock at our Staplehurst school, enabling pupils from all of our schools the opportunity to spend time outdoors, tending to the daily care of our visiting sheep, ponies, and donkeys. 

Taking responsibility for the care of animals can provide a focus away from the traditional classroom, improving outlook and reducing anxiety.  TRS Little Farm offers our pupils access to facilitated animal-assisted learning opportunities, ground-based exercises designed to help practice mindfulness with the animals, which in turn can help build self-confidence, improve communication skills, and support cognitive functioning.

We are happy to report that our Beyond the Classroom curriculum that started in term 2 is going very well. The young people at all of our schools can choose to widen their curriculum opportunities each week by attending some excellent workshops. A huge thank you to all of the businesses that have been working with us, our young people are learning some great skills. 

The curriculum page "Beyond the Classroom" will give you a flavour of the workshops that are taking place each term.
