Our first certificate winners of the new year were: Charleigh, Sofia, Harper, Hollie, Tyler, Leilani and Oscar 👏🏼

Our first VIPs in class will be: Frankie, Meya, Charlie, Vinnie, Cleo, Millie and Riley 🥇

We congratulated Miss Ackerley, who got married over summer and is now Mrs Sharpe 💙

And we celebrated six wonderful young artists who had their work published in a book recently - well done to Millie, Anna, Cleo, Leo, Charlie and Lacey 🧑‍🎨

What a brilliant start to the new school year! 🌟

🍽️From the start of the 2026 academic year, the Department for Education introduced new eligibility rules for FREE SCHOOL MEALS.

Under the new rules, children in households receiving one or more elements of Universal Credit are entitled to free school meals.

A new national application system has been introduced to support this change. You can apply for free school meals and school clothing grants in one application.

To check if your child is eligible and apply for free school meals and school clothing grants, follow this link to the Cumberland Council website: 👇https://www.cumberland.gov.uk/schools-and-education/free-school-meals-clothing-vouchers-and-activities/free-school-meals-and-clothing-vouchers

🌿 Help Us Create Therapeutic Classrooms! 🌿

We would love to ask our wonderful families, friends, local businesses and community if you are able to support us through donations of any suitable items to help transform our classrooms into calmer, more nurturing and therapeutic spaces.

We are particularly looking for things such as:
✨ Lamps or mood lights
✨ Fairy lights
🪴 Real or artificial plants
🛋️ Cushions, floor cushions or comfy seating
🧺 Blankets and soft furnishings
☕ Coffee tables or small side tables
🌈 Calming resources and other items suitable for creating welcoming spaces

New or pre-loved items in good condition would be hugely appreciated. Even the smallest donation could make a big difference to the environment we are creating for our children. 🥰

If you are a local business and have any surplus stock, display items, offcuts, unwanted furniture or materials that could help us, we would be incredibly grateful for your support too.

Please get in touch with school if you are able to donate or support us in any way. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! 🫶🏻🌿
