Great Sankey High School
‘Coping in Crisis’
26th May 2017
What happened & who is responsible?
As you will have seen reported in the media, we
know that an explosion occurred in the foyer of
the Manchester Arena at around 10.30pm on
Monday night, at the end of Ariana Grande’s
concert.
Many of the attendees were leaving, and this
has tragically led to the death of 22 people,
with a further 59 reportedly injured.
It is OK not to understand why!
What is happening now?
• Britain’s status has moved from severe to
critical. Please do not be alarmed by this.
• Over the coming days, you will see more
Police Officers on our streets – they are
there to provide a visible presence and
offer re-assurance.
• The Police are working tirelessly to find
out the full circumstances around this
horrifying attack and, while you may be
understandably concerned, they want to
reassure you that they are doing
everything in their power to ensure our
safety.
Our Values… ‘Greatest Together’
A pride & place in our community…
The power of social media…
Who can I turn to for further support?
• It is important to ask for help and
support if you feel that you have been
affected by this event and are struggling.
• Share your thoughts if you can, it’s OK
not to, but if the worry becomes too
much – it’s good to talk.
• Support is available to you in school and
we recommend the following over half
term.
How do we move forward…
‘Mutual respect’
“Don’t look back in anger, look
forward with love. It’s not the
hate and anger of the past that
will win, it’s the love of the
future.”
Speaker after Manchester’s one
minute silence.
