Bible Exhbition Visits
On Thursday, all of our Key Stage 2 children walked to Hope Chruch to see a bible exhibition.
A guide showed the children around the exhibtion so they could see the information displayed on the boards. They learnt about Jesus and the journey through his life. They filled in a worksheet whilst they were there to show everything they had learnt. This helps our children become ethically informed pupils.

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.’
