We had an amazing response to the Christmas gift bag appeal and the children and families should be very proud of themselves! We received a total of 66 gift bags, ensuring that all 26 children and their families will receive something for Christmas. 

Some children from the school took the gift bags to the New Hope shop on New Road, and the team there will ensure all families receive their gifts. 

This really is an overwhelming response and an amazing act of kindness, especially in tough times.

It is also lovely to share that the Year 4 Production guests gave £200.62 for the New Hope charity. 

Thank you Community!

Just finished this - Operation Nativity. 

Great fun, festive adventure story. Easy reading - not too serious but with characters we can relate to and a lovely Christmas message. Watch out for the sad ending, but a 'feel good story'.

Congratulations to the senior leaders who have completed the NPQ process and have successfully achieved NPQs in Senior Leadership or Headship. The team worked incredibly hard whilst continuing to drive positive school changes and it is a pleasure to lead such a committed and driven team of effective teachers and leaders.

Practising what I preach, I successfully failed the Executive Headship NPQ - 3.5 marks off - but a fail is a fail! My feedback was to add more detail (if you read the Newsweb, you will know this is a personal strength.) I will be resubmitting in the spring term and humbly learning from this failure.

Mistakes Prove we are trying! 

Regardless of the outcome, the experience of the NPQs for the whole school has been very beneficial, allowing us to share and understand the same research and approaches and driving our focus on curriculum changes and developing CPD.  This takes us to nine successful NPQ successes (one hopefully pending) and Miss Brauka beginning this year - what a talented bunch of leaders we have!
