Principal's Message:

What another awesome week we've had!

This week has brought lots of cooking. Our children in Bramley have been busy making jam tarts with Mr Ashenhurst and Year 4 have been making some delicious pizzas! These are wonderful examples of how our Primary Years Programme allows for these opportunities and promotes children to take action with their learning.

Furthermore, we have lots of trips now being organised throughout the year. We understand that there is a cost for these and, unfortunately, as the school does not receive funding specifically for this, we do have to ask for contributions to make these possible. If, for any reason, you are experiencing financial challenges please reach out to the academy as we may be able to point you in the direction to seek support.

Today we welcomed Dan and Ellie from Internet Legends. They spent a lot of time with our KS2 children, exploring how to stay safe online and make really positive and responsible choices. It was a brilliantly interactive assembly and they specifically commented on how well behaved the children were. In fact, they said that our children were the best behaved they have seen from their travels around different schools. We are so proud of children representing the academy in this way.

On Monday, we are going to be sending a small group of children to a LAT rounders tournament at Molehill Primary Academy. I'm sure we are going to smash it and further demonstrate our impeccable behaviour and sportsmanship.

And finally, those who live on the estate may have seen Mrs Carter and I taking a walk with a member of KCC. Excitingly, we are looking to introduce a "Walking Bus" to the community and plotted the routes (including the "bus stops") that would be most convenient for our families. There is lots more exciting news to share and this will be shared in good time as we are still in the early stages of implementing it, so watch this space!

Have the loveliest of weekends!
