Headteacher Round-up

Date: 5th Feb 2024 @ 10:03am

Firstly, congratulations to all those children who competed in last Friday’s Maths Bee competition. Our lower school maths bee competitors kicked off the day and what a close competition it was! The audience were really supportive and also contributed to the overall scores by earning audience participation bonus points! Our upper school children also competed resiliently during the 10 rounds and many of them made it through to the ultimate final - we've never had so many winners! A huge well done to everyone who took part - including in the first and second round that was held in class. Well done everyone!

We are already half way through the Spring term and I am delighted with the quality of work the children are producing (in all year groups) and the progress they have made. Year 6 showed great perseverance and determination last week during their assessments and the progress they have made since September is testament to how hard they have been working - remarkable efforts all round!

Also, I was really thrilled to present our coveted Random act of Kindness Award to Reggie in our Celebration assembly.  Reggie was spotted independently helping a child who was upset in the hall. Thank you, Reggie. 

Please can I remind parents that we can never authorise extended leave. In exceptional circumstances, we may be able to authorise one or two days but visiting family abroad to attend family celebrations is not considered to be exceptional and should be planned during the school holidays.Thank you for your support with this.
