This time last week, we swapped the office for a tropical paradise! 🌺☀️

Our summer party was packed with sunshine, good food and plenty of friendly competition. We had the fantastic Let's Go Street Food keeping us well-fed with their Greek & Mexican stalls, took on a Gladiator Duel with local legends Amber Valley Gladiators Parties & Inflatable Hire & FIT 3:16 by Dan PT, and a visit from a local ice cream van to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth! 🌯🤼🍦

Safe to say there were plenty of laughs, a few questionable sporting performances and some very happy employees!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make it such a brilliant day. 🌴🎉

As another school year comes to a close, Andy looks back at some of the key wellbeing tips and insights from this term's Friday Five videos.

One message stands out: "If we don't look after our wellbeing, we can't be the best version of ourselves."

Over the summer, take some time to rest, recharge and prioritise your own wellbeing. Whether it's slowing down, spending time with loved ones, getting outdoors or simply taking a well-earned break, every small step counts.

Here's to returning in the new school year with a healthy mind, a healthy body and a positive outlook. Have a wonderful summer! ☀️

And don't forget, if you do require wellbeing support over the summer break, we're here for you! 📞📧

As we wrap up the final Friday Five of this academic year, Andy has a special message for every teacher and school colleague.

"Thank you for everything you do for the children that you work with. You make a significant difference to them!" 💙

As the holidays begin, Andy also leaves us with one important question:

What will you do for your wellbeing? ✨

Take a moment to reflect, recharge and make time for yourself this summer. You deserve it!

Thank you for being part of another incredible academic year. Have a restful and well-earned break! 🌞

Yellow cards? We can cope 🟡
Red cards? Not ideal 🔴
Unexpected staff absence on a Monday morning? That's where we come in! 😉⚽

Tomorrow it's all eyes on the World Cup Quarter Final, and we're hoping England's squad brings home the win! 🤞🏆

It got us thinking...

Whether you're managing an England football team or a school staff team, having the right support when someone is unexpectedly absent can make all the difference.

At Schools Advisory Service, we're here to help schools keep things running smoothly, while putting staff wellbeing at the heart of everything we do. Because every great team deserves a strong bench 💙

And speaking of scoring... 🥅

When you get a quote for any of our services, you'll be entered into our prize draw to WIN £5,000 to spend on sports equipment for your school! 🙌

So, here's to teamwork, resilience and hopefully hearing a few renditions of Football's Coming Home this weekend... 🎶

Good luck, England!

This week's Friday Five with Andy is all about BREAD... but not the kind you eat! 🥖💤
