A Busy Term of Learning and Enrichment

This term began with a fantastic trip for Year 3 to Didcot Railway. The children had a brilliant time and spent the rest of the week learning about a wide variety of animals kept as pets – including dogs, guinea pigs, snakes, and even spiders! A big thank you to all the families who supported this by bringing in animals for the children to see

We also introduced ‘Walk-In Mornings’ for each class this term. These provide a lovely opportunity for you to come into the classroom and work alongside your child first thing in the morning. Please check the calendar for your child’s class date.

Our class assemblies have continued and have been a real highlight. These give children the chance to perform in front of an audience and share what they’ve been learning. Thank you for your ongoing support and attendance at these events.

Year 6 SATs

We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 children last week, as they completed their SATs with maturity and composure. They truly rose to the challenge and, to celebrate their hard work, we treated them to a well-deserved ice cream!

Prefects and Pupil Leaders

On Monday, we had a special assembly to announce our newly appointed prefects. Each of the ten successful candidates completed an application form explaining why they would be suitable for the role. Congratulations to all of them – I am very much looking forward to working with our new prefect team.

During the same assembly, we also announced our new Head Girl and Head Boy. Congratulations to Florence and Luke, who proudly received their new responsibilities.

It has been a hard-working and productive term for the children, and it’s been wonderful to see how much progress they’ve made. I would like to extend my thanks to all the staff for their unwavering commitment and determination to move the school forward – it’s inspiring to see the difference their efforts are making

Thank you, as always, for your continued support

Wishing you a wonderful break.

Best wishes

Miss Morris
