We are delighted to have an additional office next door to our main office. This will be used as a CEO office (Debi hopes!) as well as for meetings and staff lunch breaks. It is a lovely peaceful and comfortable room. We look forward to showing it off to some of you.
A highlight to the new room is our "Parkside Pets" notice board - where all of our team's pet photos are featured.

Office for Nation Statistics Annual Survey (ASHE)
A couple of families have received letters recently requiring them to complete this form and it has caused some concern as SCC weren't able to advise it was genuine - It is genuine and it is a legal requirement to complete it. It is a random exercise and I think we've only seen about 6 in 11 years!
But don't panic if you receive one, we can help you complete it. But please get in touch promptly.
Some of the information will be easy for you to complete but some will require payroll information which you are unlikely to have yourselves as it is on payslips and P60s handed to your PAs - Please call us and we will help you with this.

We have had a lovely email from one of our mums. Her son. James Kelland (14) has been named a finalist for Young Carer of the Year at the Barnsley Chronicle Young Champions Awards 2026.
"James balances his schoolwork at Pen*stone Grammar with providing critical, daily care at home for his mother, who suffers from severe epilepsy, and his younger brother, who has complex autism. He is a quiet, steady pillar for his family and a true local hero.
The public voting window is open right now, and every single vote counts toward helping him win this well-deserved recognition.
