This week...

We have had an excellent start to the year with the children returning ready for their learning; respectful in the way they are speaking to adults and peers; and safe in their behaviour. With the majority of children remembering the Tithe Farm Way well, the school has a calm buzz of learning. 

This week we have welcomed our youngest learners who are beginning their Tithe Farm journey. They have transitioned well to school and have enjoyed learning through play in their provision. I am sure that after a full day in school today, they will sleep well!

Please could families ensure that all clothing, lunch boxes and bags are named so that adults can do their best to get lost property back to the children. If you do loose something, lost property can be found in the baskets at the front of the school. 

Introducing our new Deputy Headteaher: Miss Lubbock

Hello everyone! 

I am very excited to be writing to say hello to The Tithe Farm family and to introduce myself as the new Deputy Headteacher. 

I have had a great first week getting to know the children and adults across our school. The children have been brilliant teachers, showing me what ‘The Tithe Farm Way’ is all about and reminding me how important it is for everyone to be ready, show respect, and stay safe every single day.

A little bit about me: my favourite subjects are Maths, PE, and Reading and when I’m not at school, I love to visit the beach whenever I get the chance, as being by the sea is one of my favorite places to be! The most important thing to me is kindness, both inside and outside of school. I can already see that Tithe Farm is a kind, caring community, and I feel so proud to be a part of it. 

There is so much great learning and lots of exciting events planned for the year ahead—it really is going to be a fun year at Tithe Farm! First things first though, is learning everyone's names! So, if you see me at the school gates or around school, please do come over and introduce yourself!
