Dear Parents and Carers,

What a week! The weather may have been miserable and wet, but inside school it has felt as warm, welcoming, and purposeful as ever. The children have been working incredibly hard, well-settled in their routines, and we’re so proud of their focus and determination.

It has been a real pleasure to show lots of prospective parents around the school this week. Walking through the classrooms and seeing our vision come to life in every space is always such a pleasure—children engaged in meaningful, purposeful activities, learning with enthusiasm and confidence! It’s a wonderful reminder of what makes our school community so special.

This week we also marked Remembrance Day, and the children showed great respect during our reflections. Mrs Gairy spoke to all the children about Anti-Bullying Week, and we were impressed by their thoughtful engagement and the conversations that followed. Yesterday’s skipping workshop was a huge success—thank you so much for the donations that helped make this possible. The children loved it and showed fantastic energy and teamwork.

Today we’ve been supporting Children in Need, and the atmosphere has been full of fun and excitement! The Strictly Dance Challenge was a particular highlight, and it was lovely to see everyone getting involved. Thank you in advance for your contributions to this important cause; your generosity really does make a difference.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. I hope you have a lovely (and dry!) weekend.

Mrs Mavin
