It has been a much better week: even feeling a bit of sunshine warmth whilst on lunchtime duty! It is so good to see children out playing again – although some lower KS2 children are like a magnet to the inevitable post-thaw mud! Y3 have all been to the pantomime this week, enjoying the Read…

It has been a gloriously sunny but freezing cold week! The children enjoyed some snow-balling early on in the week but it was short-lived. Later on, ice collection was a favourite activity and an ice shop appeared on the field with tyre-fulls of frozen lumps ‘for sale’. The minibuses have been busy this week. Read…

It has been a really busy week again, with a full governing body meeting and lots of school tours: one of which was in the dark in the evening with no children – that’s a sales challenge! On one of the tours I was leading a group of prospective parents and children up to Read…
