End of Term!
Phew, what a whirlwind of a term it’s been! It’s been fantastic to witness the children’s energy and the progress they’ve made again this term; seeing their enthusiasm and hard work makes me incredibly proud.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the dedication of our amazing staff – thank you to them all for their tireless efforts and commitment. And a huge thank you also to you as our supportive parents for your ongoing partnership; it truly makes a difference.
Wishing you all a truly lovely Easter break filled with joy and relaxation. We’re looking forward to welcoming the children back on Monday, April 28th, refreshed and ready for the next half term. Happy Easter!

Attendance Matters
The United Nation Article 28 states ‘every child has the right to have a primary education’. We are linking our attendance performance to this article.
We want our children to have the best possible education to give them the best chance in life. If your children aren’t in school we can’t give them this opportunity and can’t give them the opportunity to ‘be the best they can be.’
