After the excitement of last week’s reopening, this week has felt more relaxed. I have been in every class this week and there was a happy, focussed working atmosphere in every room that I visited. Playtimes have been fun, with cricket nets and tennis courts busy on the junior side, and infants using all Read…

It has been wonderful to have all the children back this week and so refreshing to see the children mixing more freely. The glorious weather of the first few days of term was also uplifting. It is always an exciting time, especially for new Reception children and families, but this year felt more special Read…
