What a fantastic week it has been at school!

We were incredibly proud to listen to the Head Prefect speeches this week. A huge well done to all the children who put themselves forward and spoke so confidently in front of the school. The standard was exceptionally high, making it a very difficult decision. Voting will take place this week, and we look forward to announcing our new Head Prefects for September very soon.

Our annual Sports Day was a great success. With the sun shining, EYFS and KS1 enjoyed their events in the morning, followed by KS2 in the afternoon. It was wonderful to see such excellent examples of sportsmanship, encouragement and teamwork throughout the day. Thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us and helped make the event so special.

On Wednesday, our Year 6 pupils enjoyed their Circuits day. It was certainly hot and sweaty, but there was plenty of enthusiasm, determination and fun, and a great time was had by all!

Year 6 who will be going to Park in September have spent time there for their transition days, helping them prepare for the exciting next stage of their education. In addition, they will be working with members of Holy Trinity Church, as well as those year 6 pupils moving to other Secondary schools, as part of the 'Make Your Move' transition project, providing further support and guidance as they get ready for the move to secondary school.

School Meals – Price Update
We would like to inform parents that, after careful consideration, the cost of school meals will increase from 1st September 2026. The new price will be £2.70 per meal.

As we enter the last full week of term, there is still much to look forward to, including opportunities for children to meet their new teachers ahead of the new academic year.

We are looking forward to another busy and successful week together as we begin to round off a wonderful year.

This week in Collective Worship, we explored how forgiveness helps us develop soft hearts that are full of love and kindness. Using a small stone as our stimulus, we thought about how a heart can become “hard” when we hold onto anger or grudges. God teaches us to love others, forgive from the heart, and treat people with compassion.

Through Leviticus 19:17–18, Matthew 18:35, and Proverbs 4:20–23, we learned that forgiveness benefits both the person forgiving and the person being forgiven. Although forgiving is not always easy, it helps restore relationships and brings peace.

• Is it easy to forgive?
• Who has forgiven you?
• How does forgiveness help both people?

Is my heart soft or hard today? Have you been carrying something heavy?

 When someone makes a mistake, practise showing patience and forgiveness. Look for opportunities to offer a second chance and spread kindness.
