As another school year comes to a close, we would like to take a moment to say a heartfelt goodbye to some very special members of our school family.

We wish Miss Thompson, Miss Shibli, Miss Scothern, Mr Dixon, Teejay, Kasia, Chris and Miss Begum every success as they move on to new opportunities and exciting adventures. Thank you for your dedication, hard work and the positive impact you have had on our pupils, staff and wider school community.

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get photos of Kasia and Chris, but they will be missed every bit as much as everyone else.

We also send our warmest wishes to Mrs Farzana and Miss Napp as they begin their well-earned retirement. Thank you for your many years of commitment, care and service. The difference you have made to generations of children and families will be remembered for years to come.

Each of you has played an important part in the life of our school, helping to create the caring, supportive and inspiring community we are so proud of. Thank you for the memories, the laughter, the kindness and the dedication you have shown throughout your time with us.

You will all be greatly missed, and we wish you happiness, success and every blessing in the future. Once part of our school family, always part of our school family. 💐✨

Well… this is awkward! 😅

The Year 6 raffle draw was brilliant…

Unfortunately, I managed to press record at the end instead of the beginning! 🤦‍♀️

We promise the draw was completely fair (just ask our amazing Year 6s! 😂)

Congratulations to all of our winners, and thank you to everyone who supported the raffle. ❤️

📚 At 2:00 pm today, we hit pause.

For 15 minutes, everything stopped as students and staff dropped what they were doing to read. It was wonderful to see our school come together to celebrate the joy of reading and make time for stories, learning, and imagination.

Every page turned brings us one step closer to building a lifelong love of reading! 📖✨
