✨ First Day Back!✨

Our children have settled back into school life wonderfully today. They looked incredibly smart in their uniforms and it has been an absolute joy to see our school filled with happy faces, laughter and excitement once again. 🥰

We are overjoyed to welcome Freddie and Otis into our school family, as well as Miss Stanier who joins our team as our new teacher in Early Years. Miss Stanier brings a wealth of experience across all year groups, alongside a real passion for early education and nurturing our youngest learners. We are so excited to have her as part of our school family!

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead, full of learning, laughter, friendships and wonderful opportunities. 💫
