We loved our visit from Steel today, learning all about resilience and the importance of sleep, healthy diet, being active, hydration and showing gratitude (noticing glimmers). Can anyone beat Steel’s record of 757 burpees nonstop in under an hour?#pshe pic.twitter.com/FLHRxZ2Lkq

Dear Parents

This will be the final full newsletter of this term before we finish on Wednesday 20th December at 12 noon.

This has been the week of song with the choir singing at the Mayor's Concert on Tuesday and the school Christingle Service on Wednesday evening.

Both events were beautiful and the children were a delight.  We always, without fail, get complimented by members of the public about the vigour the children sing with, and the talented musicians we have in school.

For those who attended the Christingle thank you, and for those unable to attend for a variety of reasons you really did miss out on a great evening.

Christingle (1)

GOVERNOR – ELECTION
