The first Headteacher’s Blog of the new academic year
It has been a busy first week back across the Trust. We’ve welcomed back our pupils and families, and our new Reception children have taken their first steps into school life. It has been lovely to see our classrooms and corridors full of energy, conversation and character once again.
This week, our Year 5 pupils from across the Trust also had the opportunity to experience Private Peaceful at the Northcott Theatre, based on the much-loved novel by Michael Morpurgo.
They were especially lucky to take part in a Q&A with Michael himself, giving them the chance to hear directly from the author about his work and the story they had just seen brought to life on stage.
It was a fantastic experience and a memorable way to begin the new school year.
