News & Key Dates
HEADTEACHER MESSAGE
Thank you for the incredible attendance at our KS2 Christmas Concert, especially after having to re-arrange the date. It was wonderful to see so many of you supporting our children’s musical journey – despite being forced to endure Christmas music in January! I love seeing the children’s musicality and confidence grow year-on-year. It is genuinely one of the highlights of the school year for me.
As ever, a huge thank you to Mrs. Collins for her dedication and effort in instilling such a wonderful appreciation of music in the our children.
This week, the school has felt purposeful and calm as we settle into the new term - maybe with the exception of yesterday afternoon, when the children thoroughly enjoyed the fantastic pantomime! My goodness, the excitement levels reached new highs! A massive thank you as always to the PTFA for treating them to such a magical experience.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend!
DARE TO BELIEVE FESTIVAL
We were delighted to take nine of our Year 6 children to the Dare to Believe Festival at TGS on Tuesday. They played dodgeball, benchball and boccia golf. They also did archery.
They were a credit to the school with their enthusiasm and teamwork and were presented with Schoolgames values medals for their efforts.

We had a fantastic day on Wednesday cooking with “Flavours Cookery School”
The children cooked and tried lots of delicious, home-cooked foods from around the world - Banana pancakes, Mediterranean chickpea stew and Yaki Soba noodles.
