Message from the Headmaster Dear Parents To commence Anti-Bullying Week, pupils and staff had the opportunity to take part in the Odd Socks Day celebration of our individuality. This was a prelude to the pupils being inspired by the intellect and compassion of our visitor, award-winning author, Onjali Rauf. She delighted the pupils with her insight into creative writing, using her life experiences and imagination to help explain bullying and to highlight misconceptions about homelessness. We are delighted to announce our new School Council members who will have the responsibility of representing their class at meetings as well as providing a valuable student voice and opinion about developments around their school. Nursery children have been busy exploring Forest School, whilst Year 2 were able to visit China, through VR headsets. Year 5 created some strikingly impressive Roman shields as part of their History homework and I was extremely impressed with the artwork and captions of how children displayed acts of kindness at home throughout the week. Well done to all the pupils involved. In school at this time of year, we enjoy seasonal traditions such as nativity performances, the carol service and the pupil Christmas raffle. Our staff, pupils and the CPA are working creatively to continue the traditions within current constraints. I look forward to sharing further details with you next week.
Mr Everitt
