Here we are at Friday again; the week’s seem to moving along quite quickly at the moment. It’s been another mixed week, with lots of positive things happening in school and some things we wish hadn’t! I’m sure you all read the Covid-19 Outbreak Update earlier in the week but if you didn’t, click on the link to read.
More things to share with you again this week, so please have a read of everything below.

The Past Year
March 23rd was a full year after the start of the first lockdown. In school, we spent some time on the day looking at what everyone felt was a positive that they found in the past year. Children across school all did a postcard of their thoughts of what was a good thing for them from the past year…there are a few shared in the video below. We are hoping to do a bigger display in school in the next week or so.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to Mrs Dowen who has become our (permanent) Deputy Head Teacher. She went through a rigorous interview process this past week and we are really pleased that we are able to announce that she is now our Deputy permanently. I’m sure you will all want to congratulate her and wish her all the best in her new role.
Take Care and stay Safe
