Living our values: We are balanced and fulfilled
31st May 2024
A note from the Principal
Dear Parents, This week, we have thoroughly enjoyed the Y1 trip to the Erawan Museum; the Y2 sleepover and Performance Week! Next week, we look forward to the upcoming Fobisia Games. All of these events can only mean one thing, and that is we are coming close to the end of the academic year.
On Tuesday, I will be hosting an informal parent coffee morning where we will reflect on our memories and successes of the year. This will be our last parent session of the term. If you would like to come, please do RSVP here. Next Wednesday, I will be emailing a link to our annual parent survey to gain your feedback on provision in the Primary school.
Have a lovely long weekend and see you back on Tuesday!

PSHE lesson this week in Year 5
This week in PSHE we have been learning about making mistakes. Mistakes help us to grow and learn. This is a short video that we shared with students. Help your child reframe how they look at mistakes. Sharing your own mistakes and what you have learnt from them will help your child see the value of accepting that making mistakes is a normal part of life.
PE lessons
All students MUST bring their school uniform to change into after the lesson.
Please find attached the PE curriculum for Year 5 students starting W/C 14th May.
Any questions please do not hesitate to contact the PE Team -
