Head teacher’s message

What a great week we have had.  The Secret Readers, Book Swap and Gift Books were a huge success and we all had a really lovely World Book Day.  It was marvellous to see the whole school reading.  Thank you all for your support with the day and for the donations of books.

Wellbeing Buddies lead our assembly on Thursday, encouraging us all to ‘take notice’.  They encouraged us all to be more present and to make sure that we take notice of the environment around us.  The sun shining this week has certainly helped with that!  Classes have been encouraged to play different types of music and look at different types of art, for us to appreciate.  We look forward to hearing about how children have been ‘taking notice’, at home, as well.

My sincere apologies for the ongoing issues with booking school lunches.  We are working closely with AIP, our catering supplier, to address these.

Just a quick reminder that there are no local elections this year, so school will not be closed.

Wishing you all a very lovely weekend.

Dear family,

Welcome all to our new website! Our new website launched just before the holidays and we are very pleased with how it is coming along. We hope that it will become a useful point of reference for parents and visitors. We are still in the process of adding all of the useful information, so please bear with us while we continue to work on it. Please do feel free to explore and check back regularly to see the updates. Newsletters will now be produced on the website and a link will be sent by text each Friday for you to access them.

It has been a positive start to the new half term.  We have had a very productive and busy week, as you will be able to see from our class pages.  This morning in praise assembly, we celebrated a lot of writing from across the school.  There were also a lot of medals, certificates and badges to celebrate from out of school activities.

Collective Worship week beginning 24.2.25

This week, we were delighted to have our assembly led by Father Chris Smith.  As it is the first assembly of the half term, it was a Core Value focus. This half term, we will be focusing on our Core Value of Forgiveness.  Father Chris told us the story of Jacob and Esau, and how Esau found it in his heart to forgive his brother Jacob.
