The South Leicestershire School Sports Partnership has developed a series of monthly newsletter inserts for parents and carers for the upcoming academic year. These inserts aim to give families a clear introduction to health and well-being, with links to useful websites, helplines, and further sources of support.

This year, we are again including a Community Noticeboard section to highlight local events and share health information. 

We are collaborating with health services and local experts on the development of the resources.

Attached are the June's newsletters, focusing on the following topic:

• June 2026 – Body Image

As with previous editions, SLSSP has included a Community Noticeboard section to promote local opportunities and important health messages.  These have been collaborated with health services and local experts on the development of these resources.

Attached to below are the April and May newsletters for you to download, covering the following themes:

• April 2026 – Mindfulness/Exam Stress
• May 2026 – Neurodiversity

As well as some great craft activities, there is a space themed day on Wednesday 27th May and part of this is a FREE science show by Sublime Science between 11am and 12pm in the main nave of the Cathedral. Full details below...

The competition is open to children and young people up to the age of 16, who are invited to submit an original short story or poem inspired by this year’s theme: “Friendship.”

This is a wonderful chance for children to let their imaginations run free, explore their creativity and share their writing with a wider audience. There are some great prizes to be won too, including a Kindle and National Book Tokens.

The closing date for entries is 17 May 2026, so there is plenty of time to start thinking of ideas and putting pen to paper.

If your child enjoys writing, reading or creating stories, we encourage them to take part in this exciting competition.

We look forward to hearing about the brilliant stories and poems our young writers might create.

To kick-start our journey, they will be running a Park & Stride initiative, outlined below:

• Use your local Park & Stride and scan the QR code on site.

• Once you have logged four visits, you will be entered into a prize draw.

• Log eight visits, and you will receive double entries.

Your designated Park and Stride is Great Bowden Recreation Ground.

Leicestershire County Council are proud to work with local businesses to provide Park & Stride locations and prizes for the draw. Please help us create a safer, healthier environment around the school gate by using your designated Park & Stride, even if it is only once a week. Every small change can make a big difference.
