Happy Weekend,

Baxters 5k

Congratulations to everyone who took part in the Baxter's 5k on Sunday.  What an amazing achievement.  Thank you to all staff who helped organise it and families who supported and/or took part on the day.

Assembly

The assembly this week was based around caring for others.  We shared stories and discussed what caring for others looks like.

Friday Groups

As a school we are working towards our Silver Rights Respecting Award.  We are establishing a variety of pupil groups, such as Eco/Farm, Pupil Voice, Health and Well-being, Digital learning.  Pupils will have an opportunity this week to choose which group they would like to participate in.
