Message from Mrs Harris, Headteacher:
We've had a wonderful first week exploring friendship as our gospel value and looking at the qualities in Jesus that we can all show to one another to be a good friend.
Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves. Romans 12:10
We have been pleased to hear that Steve continues to recover in hospital and we send our best wishes to our dear friend and vicar. Please remember to keep him in your prayers.
It has been lovely to welcome our youngest children to school this week and helping them to get used to the routines of the school. We have all also enjoyed the sunshine when it has appeared.
In these early stages of returning to school it is important to remember that the children are learning lots of routines and working hard to meet the expectations that we are setting. Please make sure they do have a rest at the weekend, take time to speak to them about their week and let them have a chance to chill out and relax.
Do make sure you look through the news, updates, notices and reminders below.
I hope you have a restful weekend.
Mrs Harris
Headteacher
