Whole School Worship : Children’s Mental Health Week
During our whole school worship this morning, we talked about our mental health and discussed ways that we can grow and flourish. We thought about our school vision 'Achieving great things through learning and growing together in a love-filled Christian family' and how we can support each other to grow. On Friday, we will be taking part in ‘Dress to Express’ for Children’s Mental Health Week so we thought about our God given talents and how we can shine from the inside out.

Spring 2 Afterschool Clubs
We know how important it is for children to have a variety of after school activities and we know you feel the same from your feedback on our recent parent survey. However, it has been extremely difficult to provide after school clubs for the last couple of years due to restrictions of having to stay in bubbles and strict government guidance. Fortunately with restrictions easing, we are now in a position to be able to offer a variety of after school clubs starting next half term. Please see the attached document which details the clubs on offer, cost if there is one, the year groups and details of how to sign up. Clubs will be on a first come, first serve basis and there are limited numbers in each club.
