5 September 2025

It has been a pleasure to welcome all our fantastic children back. The start of a new school year is always a special time, and it's been lovely to see how happy and settled they all are. As I’ve been walking around school, I have been delighted to hear the buzz of learning and contentment - it's clear the children have all returned ready for a new year of challenges and discoveries.

We're also delighted to welcome our new teachers – Miss Moore and Miss Martin - who have fitted into our team so well. They've already become an integral part of our community and are working hard to create a supportive and engaging environment for our children.

The school has a calm and purposeful atmosphere, and we're seeing lots of hard work from every child, making us very proud! It is particularly impressive how well our youngest children who have joined EYFS have settled in. They have been incredibly brave and are already building strong relationships with their teachers and new friends.

Our Baby and Toddler Group is starting again this Monday at 1:30pm. Everyone is welcome to come along for an afternoon of fun, learning, and connection. It’s a great chance for the children to play and learn in a new environment, and for parents/carers to have a cup of tea and a chat. Please share with your family and friends.

We have lots of toys, activities, and, of course, snacks for everyone. It's a relaxed and friendly group, and we can't wait to see new and familiar faces. We hope you can make it!

We would love for you to join us this Thursday, 2:30pm, for our "Meet the Teacher" event.
This is a great opportunity to see your child's classroom and chat with their teacher. Your child can also show you around and share what they've been learning. We hope to see you there!
