On this Mothering Sunday, we take a moment to appreciate all that you do and have done. Happy Mother’s Day!🪽❤️🥰

And that's a wrap! Time to pack the pencils away for 2025 and finish our Christmas shopping.

Wishing our friends and families the very best for Christmas and the coming year. We want to thank you all for giving us the opportunity to work with you this past year. It has been a joy and a privilege.

Thank you. We're so grateful. We look forward to seeing all that 2026 holds.

Take care and enjoy.

Yesterday’s wander revealed bramble bushes laden with fruit. It reminded me of this gem of a poem that many of our students will know. Such a delicious time of year. 😋🍁

Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,
All by himself and gathering brambles;
Here is a tramp who stands and gazes;
And here is the green for stringing the daisies!
Here is a cart runaway in the road
Lumping along with man and load;
And here is a mill, and there is a river:
Each a glimpse and gone forever!.

‘From a Railway Carriage’ by R.L. Stevenson
