Attendance Figures week commencing 12.1.2026:

Thank you so much for the lovely photos sent into school of the snowmen/ snowwomen/ snowdogs and other creative sculptures that were produced on our snow day, last week.  It was a lot of fun looking through them and clearly a lot of hard work and effort went into them!

Well done to our Year 2 pupils who had a wonderful time at Forest School, in the rain, this week. Despite the weather, children really enjoyed the opportunity to be learning outside.

We have had a very busy and productive week thinking about our school vision, in particular about aspiration and what that looks like in our daily lessons and behaviours.  The children have been giving me lots of examples throughout the week, of how they have been “the best that they can be”. This has been our assembly focus this week, and the children have really taken it on board.

Hopefully, you will have all received a letter regarding the NSPCC “Speak out; stay safe” campaign, that was sent out with children, yesterday. We will be participating with  age appropriate assemblies and some classroom based activities.  Years 3, 5 and 6 will have some follow up workshops as part of Good Health Week.  Should you wish to know more about the programme, please follow this link – www.nspcc.org.uk/speakout. 

This week in assembly, we revisited our Curriculum Drivers.  So far this year, we have looked at how we can be resilient, independent and aspirational in our learning and daily lives.  Our focus this half term, is aspiration.  We recalled our physical challenge on the inflatable assault course, at the beginning of the school year, which set the tone for a year of “Aspire for Higher”.  We reminded ourselves that even though that challenge was tough for some of us (and some of us got stuck on the ladders!), we showed the resilience and determination to complete the challenge.  This half term, we are focusing on being the best that we can be.  We talked about what this will look like in our classrooms and on our playgrounds.  Children came up with some excellent examples, and have reflected on it throughout the week. We have considered that Christians believe the Bible encourages believers to aspire towards our goals and dreams, emphasising trust in God and alignment with His will.​

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
