Lois has worked tirelessly over the past few years to embed good practice for supporting the Service children / young people at Llanwern High School in Newport and to champion them and their experiences. She has accessed funding to start a project for the Service pupils to lead, linking in with the local Veteran’s Hub, and to undergo Lego Therapy training to help support the wellbeing of Service pupils.
Additionally, Lois ensures that the Service pupils form Llanwern High School have the opportunity to attend any events linked to celebrating Month of the Military Child and Armed Forces Day.
Lois’ efforts have resulted in Llanwern High School being awarded their Bronze Armed Forces Friendly Schools Cymru Status and becoming not only the first school in Gwent to achieve this.
So much gratitude goes out to Lois for all of her hard work in making Llanwern High a school that not only makes the effort to identify their Service pupils but to ensure their needs are identified and met and give them the opportunities to talk about their experiences of being from a Service family.
Well done and thank you Lois!
