After a period of consultation and due diligence, we are pleased to announce that we have joined St Bartholomew’s CE Multi-Academy Trust.

Since St Bartholomew’s CE MAT was formed in September 2016, the Trust has grown in a considered and gradual way. They are now a family of schools across Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, Dudley and now Telford & Wrekin, serving just under 2,500 children and just over 400 staff.

Tibberton and St Lawrence schools remain closely linked within the Trust.

Tibberton school is committed to recognising how strong mental health is beneficial to people of all ages.

This week we celebrated this by wearing a splash of yellow for World Mental Health Day. We engaged in activities to promote mindfulness and promoting being self-aware around our feelings. This is consistent with our use of Zones of Regulation within school.

The team are encouraged that the work God is doing in FLOURISH with you all is a light shining near and far!
