School Mission Statement

'Love your neighbour as yourself.'

Luke 10:27

Friday 12th September 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are two weeks into our new school year and school is a hive of activity. Staff are really enjoying getting to know their new classes; our new children are settling well and we are delighted to see them becoming such valuable members of our school community. The first of our curriculum meetings have taken place with more to come next week. Please do not worry if you are not able to attend these meetings as all information shared will be available on the school website after the meetings.

Mr Le Feuvre continues to make good progress towards recovery and I have been in regular contact with him. He is disappointed not to be able to be with us and we continue to keep him in our thoughts and prayers in school.

This week we met as a whole school for our first whole school Collective Worship of the year. I was impressed to see how smartly and proudly the children were wearing their full school uniform and school P.E kit. Thank you for ensuring that the children have the appropriate uniform. During our worship we thought about our school mission to ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ and our school rules of ‘Be ready, Be safe and Be respectful’ and how we can all, young and old, demonstrate these qualities in our words and actions. Today we celebrated children across the school who have demonstrated our school vision and values in our first Merit Collective Worship; this is always a special occasion for school and parents and carers to worship and celebrate together.

Our wonderful PTA is already planning fundraising and community events for the year. Please do remember that all parents and carers within our community are automatically members of the PTA and new volunteers are warmly welcomed. The PTA is a tremendous support to our school: already this week I have seen first hand how the Chromebooks they purchased for school have enriched our computing curriculum ensuring our children are properly and safely prepared for the digital world in which we now live and work.

A focus on the environment continues to be a priority and Mr Conroy has been busy gathering bulbs and plants for us to start planting with the children. Our orchard is establishing itself well and our allotments are ready for the children to begin harvesting and clearing. The PTA has provided us with some funding for bird boxes and bug hotels which we will be purchasing and installing with the children this term. This work links with our school vision to ‘look after our environment.’ In the next few weeks our school Ethos and Eco Ambassadors will meet to plan key initiatives for the year ahead and this environmental work will be central to our discussion alongside our charitable giving initiatives and development of our spiritual life in school.

As we move further into Autumn, please do ensure that your child brings a coat to school each day as the weather is so changeable. Please also ensure that every item of school uniform is clearly labelled with your child’s name so that we can reunite lost items easily.

Thank you for your continuing support,

Rosie Ross
