We are delighted to invite you to our special Easter service, where all year groups will come together to share the joy and spirit of the season. This event is a wonderful opportunity for our school community to celebrate together, and we would be thrilled to have you join us on Friday 4th of April, at 9.30am in the hall.
Our pupils have been working hard to prepare a beautiful service that includes songs, readings, and performances reflecting the themes of hope and renewal that Easter represents. Each year group will contribute their unique talents, making this a truly memorable occasion for everyone.
This service is a time for us to reflect on the importance of community and togetherness, values that are central to our school's ethos. We believe that celebrating these moments as a community strengthens the bonds between our children, families, and staff.
We encourage you to come along and support your children as they participate in this special event. It's a fantastic opportunity to witness their confidence and creativity, and to share in the joy of Easter.
Please mark your calendars, and we look forward to seeing you there!

Livestreaming is now a major part of children’s entertainment, evolving from gamers sharing screens into a booming industry with diverse personalities. While watching streamers can be entertaining, it comes with no small number of risks for children, such as misinformation, negative influences, and inappropriate content. With over 2.5 million viewers on Twitch – the current most popular streaming platform – at any one time, this guide highlights the potential dangers associated with watching livestreams and the importance of staying informed.
There is a wealth of support for parents available online, beyond social media networks. We try to share as much professional information as we can to support you at home.
