thanking our remarkable Queen for her selfless service not only for Great Britain but also the whole of the Commonwealth.

*Thursday 15th September, 7.8.30pm - Nursery and Reception The newsletter, ‘Compass’, is produced each Friday afternoon and once the period of mourning has ended we will share information from each year group briefly describing the experiences the children have enjoyed throughout the week accompanied by a pictorial record of the children and their work. It is lovely to be able to share this with parents and guardians so you can not only see what the children have been learning in school, but it is also our hope that this will support you in stimulating conversation about their learning journey at home as well. Please do try to find a few minutes to read the newsletter each week.

I would now like to take the opportunity to extend a very warm welcome to all our new and existing families as we start the academic year 2022- 2023. The children have settled in extremely well this week and there has been lots of excitement as they familiarise themselves with their new classrooms and daily routines. I have been so impressed with how well they have adjusted to these new experiences and routines throughout the week.
