Happy New Year

and Welcome Back

We hope you have all had a

wonderful Christmas and a

restful break with your families.

We know that we needed our

break and I’m sure the children

were in a similar position! They

all worked incredibly hard in

the run up to Christmas, with

their amazing performance in

their first Carol Service being a

highlight of the term. They

impressed us all last term with

their attitude to learning and

mature approach to life around

school. The Spring Term will be

another busy term culminating

in the performance of Ali Baba

and the Bongo Bandits
