A note from the Principal
This week, our Year 6 students performed Matilda Jnr for the school community and what a brilliant few days it has been!
Behind these two incredible performances sat huge amounts of hard work, practice and perseverance. Our Year 6 students showed creativity, communication, teamwork and real courage in putting themselves out there in front of such large audiences. It was also a lovely reminder that great outcomes seldom appear instantly. They are built through mistakes, refinement and simply trying again.
Another highlight for me was watching students from FS2 upwards come together to watch the rehearsals. There was something really special about seeing our youngest children watching in awe and seeing what is possible as they look up to the oldest students in the Primary School.
We are truly so proud of our Year 6 students, alongside our Creative Arts team and Year 6 teachers, for everything they have put into making the performances such a success. Bravo!

Timestableathon
We will be having our 'Timestableathon' on Wednesday 20th May. A letter with more information about this was sent home with your child this week. Please also scan the QR code for a video about this from the student council.
Grief, Loss and bereavement
In two weeks' time, our teachers will deliver three lessons on loss, grief, and bereavement as part of our Well-being (PSHE) curriculum.
Grief and loss are part of our lives, and so it is important to provide children with the skills they need to manage difficult feelings, to understand grief and to be able to support others. All materials will be very carefully chosen, and age appropriate.
Most importantly, if your child has experienced a significant loss or bereavement, recently or in the past, or if there is a family member or friend who is seriously ill, please contact your child’s class teacher. We can discuss with you whether it is appropriate for them to be in the lesson and be prepared to give them any additional support they may need.

Submission Deadline: 31 May 2026
For more information, please follow the attached guideline.
Checking and labelling your child’s belongings
Parents often come into the Primary Office looking for their child’s belongings.
When personal items are clearly labelled, they can easily be returned to the owner.
Things are harder to return when they arrive in lost property without a label.
Please help by checking all items that are worn, or brought into, school by your child.
If you find any belongings that do not belong to your child, please send them back into school via the class teacher.
Children will sometimes take home the wrong hat, water bottle, PE kit and even school shoes.
