Headteacher's Weekly Update

Happy Friday 16th Oct

What a wonderful week we’ve had! The children have shown great enthusiasm for their learning, worked brilliantly together, and celebrated one another’s achievements.  This week the children loved visiting the Cheltenham Literature festival, each year group got to experience an Opera show,  some children visited a local care home, our EYFS had the best time exploring "Little City" and we ended the week with a beautiful Y5B Mass.   We’ve enjoyed seeing the children's confidence grow and their kindness shine throughout the week. Thank you for your continued support—we hope you have a lovely weekend!
