What an incredible week it has been across our school community!

We would like to begin by sharing how immensely proud we are of our children in Year 1 and Year 4. Our Year 1 pupils approached their Phonics Screening Check with determination and resilience, while Year 4 tackled the Multiplication Tables Check with great focus and positivity. These are important milestones, and every single child gave their very best effort, an achievement in itself that deserves recognition and celebration.

Our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils enjoyed a memorable trip to the Fleet Air Arm Museum as part of their World War 2 studies. Not only was this a fantastic opportunity to bring their learning to life, but they also impressed staff and members of the public alike. Their behaviour, curiosity and respect made them superb representatives of our school, we could not be prouder of them.

Meanwhile, Year 3 took part in an exciting cricket event, where their bowling, batting and teamwork skills were put to the test. They embraced the challenge with enthusiasm and demonstrated excellent sportsmanship throughout. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they supported one another and celebrated each other's successes.

This week also saw us welcome visitors from our trust, who came to learn more about the support we provide for our pupils. A selection of our children spoke with them, and we were incredibly impressed by how mature, articulate and confident they were. They spoke honestly about their experiences and represented our school with pride, an absolute credit to us all.

All in all, it truly has been a fantastic week filled with achievement, opportunity and pride. Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

What a week!

Warm regards,

The School Team

In class worship, we explored The Unforgiving Servant, reflecting on Jesus’ message about forgiveness, fairness, and compassion. Through discussion and shared thinking, children learned that forgiving others, even when it is difficult, helps to build trust, strengthen relationships, and create a kind and supportive community. We also considered how treating others fairly and showing understanding helps everyone feel valued and able to flourish.

As part of their response, children completed the sentence:
“I will show fairness by…”
This encouraged them to think about practical ways they can live out these values in school each day.

Family Reflection

You may like to talk together at home about:

• Why is forgiving others sometimes difficult, and why is it important?
• What does fairness look like in our family life?
• How can we show kindness and compassion to others each day?
• How do our choices and actions help to build a peaceful and just community?

These conversations help children to see how the values we learn in school can be lived out at home and beyond.
