Dear Parents and Carers,
This week our value is gratitude. I am so thankful that we have made it to the end of term! There has been no learning lost due to the issues we have experienced at the Primary School and no further bubble closures since December 2020! I want to thank the staff and pupils for their continued display of the school values, particularly their resilience, co-operation, and spirit of excellence. It has been a challenging year, but we are on the final homestretch. It will be another busy week of learning and activities across the school, so please keep an eye on Class Dojo and our school website.
I would also like to thank our parents and carers for their continued support, understanding and prayers throughout the year.
Year 5 and 6 Residential:
The children were an absolute credit to the school, and their families, supporting one another like a team should and for challenging themselves to try activities they had never done before, particularly during the Sunday session. Spending time with the pupils and utilising the school grounds was a tremendous privilege and an opportunity we missed greatly last year. I want to thank all staff and parents involved with the residential – I couldn’t have done it without you. May God continue to bless you and your families greatly.
