I can not believe we are at the end of our first term! The children have been absolutely wonderful this week! The dinner hall has been full of festive cheer, yet calm and reflective. On Wednesday, we all joined together to feast on a delightful Christmas dinner. Thank you so much to the kitchen and lunchtime team for all your hard work in making this possible.
After the New Year, the Lunchtime Blog will be going live every half term, teachers will be celebrating the weekly Role Models and Jacqui’s Marvelous Manners on their class blog.
We would like to thank and say a fond farewell to the lovely Mrs Duxbury, who has been part of the kitchen team. It has been a pleasure to work with you and we wish you all the very best in your new adventure. We will miss you!
Wishing you a Happy and Holy Christmas
God Bless

I can not believe we have come to the end of the year! No truer word has been said in jest, when they say time flies when you’re having fun. We have watched the children grow so much this year, not only in size but in love and compassion too. As a staff we have been humble by the little acts of kindness shown to others. We are so proud of you all!
Year 6, it has been an absolute pleasure to share so many memories with you. You are now ready to continue your adventure and meet new people to make memories with. We will miss you all so very much.
Have a wonderful holiday
Good Bless
