• Important message to families regarding earlier lockdown

  Mon 11 Mar 2024

  Due to an incident in the local area, we made the decision earlier to lockdown with full consultation and support of the police. The decision to lockdown came just after the school had started to dismiss the children at 3:15pm, hence why some children were let out and not others. The police have commended the school on how quickly and safely the lockdown procedures were initiated and carried out. Thank you for your support and understanding; child safety is paramount to us.

• Governor Trophy - Autumn 2023 - EYFS/KS1

  Fri 15 Dec 2023

   

  Congratulations to Bella in Year 1 who has won the EYFS/KS1 Governor Trophy for the Autumn term.

   

  Bella is a kind, respectful and caring child who always shows the school ethos values of Love, Courage and Friendship. She is a fantastic friend who always treats others with respect and kindness.

   

  Bella always strives to make her learning the best that it can be and helps others to do this too. Bella completes all tasks with a quiet enthusiasm and loves challenging herself. She has made great progress this term, especially in her writing. Bella has a particular love of reading and thoroughly enjoys phonics lessons. Bella shone in our nativity play. It was so lovely to see her confidence blossom!

   

  She is a pleasure to teach, and hope she continues her love of learning.

  Well done Bella!

• Governor Trophy - Autumn 2023 - KS2

  Wed 13 Dec 2023

   

  Congratulations to Matthew in Year 4, for winning the KS2 Autumn Governor Trophy Award. Matthew has developed into a considerate, thoughtful and hard-working boy who is striving to become the best verison of himself.
  
  He has worked so hard on developing his learning behaviours, particularly resilience, as he is now able to keep going even when he finds things difficult. This, in turn, has demonstrated Matthew's progress in self-regulation; he can now use and apply taught problem-solving skills to approach a problem in a new way and regulate his emotions.
  
  Matthew has shown a real love of learning since the start of Year 4. He demonstrates a real pride in his work, especially in his drawings, and he is enthusiastic about learning new things. He particularly enjoyed our Anglo-Saxon learning in History, especially our Anglo-Saxon experience day at the beginning of the term.
  
  Matthew is a hands-on learner. He loves learning through experience and he is able to make links with what he is learning to the wider context of the world and his own experiences. He has shown great courage and independence to develop his thinking when approaching learning, and he is very reflective about things that are important to him.
  
  Matthew has worked hard to form close bonds and positive relationships with children who are good role models for him. This has enabled Matthew to enjoy his breaktimes and lunchtimes and to develop the school's Christian Ethos Value of Friendship on a daily basis.
  
  Matthew's determination to get it right has been praised by a number of school staff this year, and the difference in Matthew's attitude to learning has been incredible. We are so proud of you, Matthew. Keep it up.
  
  After hearing he won the award Matthew said "I have been working so hard and I am making the right choices". Well done Matthew.
