Learning to Love; Loving to Learn - Life in all its Fullness
Forgiveness
This week has been full of moments that remind us what a special community we have. We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 pupils, who have shown such resilience, determination and maturity throughout SATs week. We are always proud of them, but it has been particularly heart‑warming to see them work towards a goal they set for themselves, approaching each day with calm focus and supporting one another along the way. The qualities they have shown speak volumes about the bright and exciting futures ahead of them, and we cannot wait to see how they continue to flourish as we move through the rest of the summer term.
We would also like to say a huge thank you to the rest of the school for the respect and consideration they have shown. By helping to keep a quiet, calm atmosphere, they made a real difference in allowing Year 6 to complete their assessments confidently and without disruption — a wonderful example of our school family looking out for one another.
Alongside all of this hard work, it has been lovely to enjoy some simple seasonal pleasures. The slightly brighter weather has meant children have been able to enjoy their lunches as picnics on the field, making the most of the fresh air and sunshine as spring slowly turns towards summer. These shared moments of laughter and friendship have brought a real sense of warmth to the week.
In Collective Worship, the children have enjoyed exploring the story of Pentecost, reflecting on its messages of courage, hope and togetherness. We are very much looking forward to our upcoming Pentecost church service, which will be our final service of the academic year. If you have not already secured a ticket, please do so soon, as it promises to be a meaningful and special occasion for our whole community.
There is also plenty of excitement building as we look ahead to next week - our final week before the May half term - with the visit from the Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) charity plane giving us something extra special to look forward to.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for being such an important part of our school community.
Warm regards,
The Ashleigh School Team
Collective Worship this week...
This week, we explored the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14–30), reflecting on how each of us has unique gifts that can make a difference.
We discussed how using our strengths—whether kindness, creativity, teamwork, or perseverance—helps our whole school community to grow and flourish.
Just like in the story, when we use what we have been given, good things multiply; when we hide our gifts, others miss out on the support and joy we could bring.
We also thought about how our school becomes a happier, more inclusive place when everyone contributes and feels valued.
Talk at home:
- What are your strengths or special talents?
- How can you use them to help someone this week?
- Why is it important to share our gifts?
Together, we can build a caring and joyful community where everyone thrives.
