Head of School Message

Dear parents/carers,

As we come to the end of a short but wonderfully busy Spring term, we want to thank you for your continued support. The children have worked incredibly hard, and we rounded off the term beautifully with our Easter service and a fantastic iRock concert—both real highlights that showcased the talent and spirit of our school community.

We now look forward to an exciting Summer term ahead. With the promise of lighter mornings, brighter evenings, and (hopefully!) a little more sunshine, there should be plenty to enjoy. Events such as our Springo fundraiser, Sports Day, and many more activities are already on the horizon, and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Wishing all our families a restful, refreshing break and we look forward to welcoming the children back on Monday 13th April.

A Wonderful Day at the Field Studies Council

Willow Class had a fabulous day at the Field Studies Council in Preston Montford, joining Katy the caterpillar to learn about life cycles, camouflage and habitats. We explored the woodland, meadow and pond, tackling the fun challenges Katy left for us. The children used simple equipment to observe and identify lots of different bugs and creatures and how they are adapted to their habitat.
