The staff and children in EYFS deserve Proud@ this week. Our new little learners have settled brilliantly and it's lovely to see them finding their confidence and getting used to the routines and expectations. The staff have worked so hard on their new learning environment for our youngest children and they should be super proud of all their efforts.

Our Key Stage 1 team are all pretty new this year but you wouldn't know it. The energy and focus in all the classrooms has been brilliant and both the children and adults are ensuring consistency in both their learning and behaviour for learning. Well done everyone.

In Key Stage 2 the focus has been on getting back into the swing of things and on with learning. The children have all come back focused and are really maturing into their new year groups and the staff have been clear about their expectations and supporting children to reach these.

Well done.
