      * Towel

      * Dressing gown

    • Bett 2026

      Published 25/01/26

      Mrs Cordon, Miss Jones and Mr Whiston have had a fantastic two days at the BETT 2026 Conference in London!

      We spent time exploring exciting new technologies, discovering the latest developments in AI, and looking at innovative tools we can bring back to school to further enhance our curriculum and strengthen our core offer for the children at HSL.

      The experience was brilliant and made even better by winning a free subscription to a library book system for our new library 📚 — an amazing bonus that will benefit our whole school community.

      We’re looking forward to putting these ideas into action!

    • Staff beating 'Blue Monday'

      Published 19/01/26

      Staff wellbeing is important at Hanley St Luke’s. Today is often called ‘Blue Monday’ but not at HSL!

      To make this day a little brighter for our hard working staff- the lovely Fran from Tropic came in and staff were able to pop along in their lunch break for a bit of pampering. The kitchen staff also prepared a wonderful buffet for all the staff to enjoy.

      Remember to take a moment in your busy day to do something nice for yourself whenever you can. 💙💛
