Learning to Love; Loving to Learn - Life in all its Fullness
ForgivenessDear Parents and Carers,
We’ve had a wonderful week at school, full of achievements, celebrations and moments that have made us feel incredibly proud of our community.
A huge congratulations to Mr Day, who has just completed his tenth London Marathon — what an outstanding achievement! This is a fantastic example of determination and resilience, and we are so proud to have such an inspiring role model in our school. A big thank you as well to Mr Day for organising our Mini‑Marathon, which raised a brilliant £351 for his chosen charity, Children with Cancer UK. Thank you to everyone who took part and supported this event - your generosity and enthusiasm are much appreciated.
We would also like to say a very big well done to our Year 2 children who attended the Tennis Festival at the Tarka Leisure Centre earlier this week. They represented our school beautifully and received lovely comments about how smart, polite and well‑behaved they were throughout the day. You really did shine our light and made us extremely proud.
In Forest School, children have been busy planting sunflower seeds, and an exciting competition is now underway to see whose sunflower will grow the tallest. We can’t wait to see how they grow over the coming weeks - watch this space!
As we head into the weekend, we hope you all enjoy a restful and happy Bank Holiday. A friendly reminder that school is closed on Bank Holiday Monday, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday.
Have a wonderful weekend with your families! 🌻
Warm regards,
The School Team
Collective Worship this week...
This week’s collective worship focused on the importance of education and the impact that his can have on our lives.
In the Bible, Jesus says, “Let the little children come to me” (Mark 10:14), reminding us that children are precious and valued. Every child deserves love, inclusion and the chance to grow and flourish.
At our school, our vision “Loving to Learn” reflects this belief. When children enjoy learning, they build confidence, curiosity and resilience. A love of learning helps them live life to the full and use their gifts to make a positive difference in the world.
Family Reflection
- What helps my child learn well?
- Why is it important that every child has the chance to learn?
- What is something you learned this week that helped you grow?
