On behalf of everyone at Newlands Primary School, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to our school and hope you have a happy and exciting learning journey with us. At Newlands we work hard to provide a stimulating, supportive and challenging learning environment in which children feel confident and want to learn and do their best. We believe every child wants to succeed and has the potential to achieve great things. We aim to meet the needs of each individual by ensuring we provide them with the opportunities, support and encouragement needed to develop their social, emotional, creative, academic and physical abilities to the full. We are a Rights Respecting School and want our children to know their rights and foster an ethos of tolerance and acceptance of everyone, respecting, not just their own rights, but the rights of others. We believe it is essential that your child feels happy, secure and makes good progress in their learning. We value the contribution parents and carers make in helping children achieve this. We work in partnership with parents and carers to ensure every child does the best they can. All of the adults at Newlands, whether they are staff members, parents, carers, governors, support workers or specialist providers, are role models to our children. By respecting each other and by valuing each child as an active and important member of our school and local community we will encourage children to develop a sense of responsibility for themselves and a respect for others. We want your child to flourish, and feel happy and secure during their time with us in order that they realise Newlands is a place where aspirations and ambitions come true. We want every child to be their own success story and look forward to working in partnership with you to give your child the best start possible to their education and life long learning. We hope you will enjoy your visit to our website and that you find the information you are looking for. If you have any questions or comments please contact the school directly and we will be pleased talk to you and/or arrange a visit..

Sarina Mann, Breakthrough Public Speaking

sarina mann, breakthrough public speaking

I graduated from the University of Southampton with a BA in Philosophy and Politics and a Master’s degree in International Relations and Development Studies. During my post-graduate degree, I was employed by the Politics Department as an undergraduate group tutor. After this, I worked as a Research Assistant at the University of Bournemouth until I made the decision to leave academia and work in the charity sector. I spent years working in the charity sector until I was diagnosed with a chronic illness that limited my mobility for almost a decade. During this time, I realised I needed to think creatively about work and that’s when my entrepreneurial side sparked and I decided to start my own business, working from home. I completed multiple courses in teaching English as a second language (ESL) as well as a Cambridge English course on how to coach people for the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam. From 2016 to 2022 I successfully tutored in ESL, IELTS and GCSE English language and later public speaking skills for teens (from 2019). During this time, I also joined Toastmasters International and that’s when my speaking career took off. Winning multiple awards at Toastmaster speech contests at local, regional and even national levels, I learned an incredible lesson; that the skill of public speaking isn’t something you’re born with, it’s a skill you learn, a skill everyone can learn. I experienced first-hand that becoming a confident speaker isn’t like any other skill in life. It’s a skill that transforms your life on many levels. When the fear of public speaking is no longer a feature in your life you feel freer without it hanging over you. Being confident in front of a crowd also means you feel more confident in other areas of your life and this naturally gives you a sense of wellbeing. Going through this amazing transformation myself, I soon developed a passion for helping others be the confident speakers they want to be. Now I run my own business in presentation skills for both online and offline platforms and have a range of programmes. I have a 7-week course for business owners who want to speak with confidence on camera for videos that attract their ideal clients. I also run three online group coaching speakers’ clubs for those who want more long-term, regular support: For university students and young adults who want to develop their presentation and interview skills. For non-native English speakers who want to develop their presentation skills and confidence in delivering talks in their second language. For business owners who want to develop a range of speaking skills for their business such as pitching, storytelling, selling on webinars and delivering training and online courses. I truly believe that being able to engage, persuade and simply amaze your audience is one of the single most powerful skills you can have in life and in business. I also believe that everyone can break through their fear and be the confident speaker they want to be. I believe everyone can breakthrough their fear of public speaking, find their voice, master presentation skills and speak with impact to persuade, inspire and lead.
