It has been truly heartening to see children already putting humility, compassion and gentleness into action this week — what a joy it has been to witness!

As we reflect on our vision and values, I am reminded of the words in Colossians 3:12: “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.” May these words guide us as a school community.

As I had the pleasure of accompanying the Polka Theatre trip on Friday, I was due to miss the Year 4 Celebration of Learning performance for parents. However, I thoroughly enjoyed their fantastic dress rehearsal on Thursday afternoon—what a talented group! Showcasing how 'climb mountains', using our growth mindset values to overcome difficulties. A big well done to Year 4 children.

Looking ahead, next week we’ll be delving deeper into the first of our school values: love. We’ll be exploring how we can show kindness, care, and selflessness to those around us. Additionally, our Year 6 pupils are off to the magistrates’ courts for what promises to be an enriching experience.
