Principal's Message
Happy New Year to you all! The children have returned to school brimming with energy and undeterred by the current cold weather. Following a period of reflection on their previous inquiries at the start of the week, they have embarked upon their new inquiries with great enthusiasm.
We would like to invite all parents and carers to a coffee morning on Friday, 16th January, at 8.30 am. This event will provide an excellent opportunity to engage with the Senior Leadership Team, ask any questions, and share suggestions. We look forward to welcoming you.
There are lots of events coming up over the next few weeks. Please remember to check the key dates on the newsletter for more details.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Mrs H Penning

Parenting today can feel overwhelming — especially when childhood looks so different from what we grew up with. There’s no manual, and it can be hard to keep up with the fast-changing digital world your child moves through every day.
The Children's Commissioner has published the following guide to help make those conversations easier and enable you to support your child with confidence.
