Headteacher's Welcome

It has been another busy week in school - our new Preschool children are really settling well into routines and gaining confidence all the time which is lovely to see. This half term our School Value is 'Teamwork'. We have introduced this to the children and will be talking to them in classes and assemblies about what Teamwork is, how to work as a team and the benefits of Teamwork. 

Together Everyone Achieves More!
