As we reach the end of another week, we have been reflecting on the value of service. It has been wonderful to see our students and staff embodying this principle in various ways throughout the week.

A huge thank you to Ollie Thornton-Flowers and the Parent Team for all your hard work in organising such a fantastic PTA Christmas Fair! The children had an incredible time enjoying the wonderful activities you put together, from snowball fights and Santa’s sleigh run to the exciting target games and the endless array of treats in the hall, playground and Year 6 areas. Also a huge thank you goes out to Father Christmas who made two appearances today along with his helpful elves and coordinator. Your efforts created a truly magical experience for everyone—thank you for making it so special!
