Head Teacher's Blog

 Just had a walk round school at the start of the afternoon session. It's amazing the contrast between the non-stop running, chasing, tackling, shouting, laughing, dancing and tackling of lunchtime games and the quiet and focused start to lessons two minutes later. See Year 4 above. It's been a…

Reverend Karsten once again led the morning assembly in school. After continuing the story of Easter, he was joined by Mr Williams and four Year 4 pupils to hammer three symbolic nails into the Lenten Tree as part of a shared community project with the Churches on the Mount.

The Science Bus has arrived! Actually it's not really a bus but it IS crammed full of exciting science experiments and all the children will be visiting it over the next two days as part of our activities for British Science Week. Ask your little professors about it when they get home!

This was meant to be a breakfast blog but sometimes things don't work out the way you intended them to....What I CAN say is that it's been a very good start to the working week. The children sounded good in hymn practice (preparing for our Easter Service on 27th March), Year 5 represented the…
