Christmas Message 2021
Christmas message 2021 You may or may not remember that last year I wrote to Santa for the first time in 45 years. Can you imagine my delight when he granted my Christmas wish for an effective and safe vaccine before Easter, allowing us to have a ‘normal’ Summer term? In fact, Santa was so…
A Busy But Fun Week
Beauty and the Beast For our annual whole school theatre trip, we watched Beauty and the Beast at the New Vic. Except this year it felt extra special as we didn’t get to go last year. The journey there was loud as the children’s excitement filled the bus. Once we arrived, their faces were gleaming…

Activity Day
Reception, Form 1 &2 Last year’s restrictions meant that we were unable to have an activity day out of school so it was an amazing feeling to take pre-prep to Cannock Chase this year. The children were excited to receive their Gruffalo Trail packs and eagerly set off on the trail. We all looked carefully…
