It has been a fantastic first week back at school, filled with smiling faces, reunited friends, and new beginnings. We were especially delighted to welcome our new Reception pupils for a Teddy Bears' Picnic with parents yesterday, and for their first morning today. They have settled in brilliantly and made a tremendous start to their school journey.

Our welcome assemblies today focused on our inspiring theme book for the year, Every Child a Song by Nicola Davies. Together, we reflected on the beauty of our own unique voices. We explored how each of us is lovingly made and valued by God. When we bring our individual gifts and personalities together, our unique songs unite to create a beautiful, harmonious community.

Thank you to all our staff, families, and pupils for making the first week back so positive and warm. We look forward to a wonderful term ahead!
