You are in our thoughts and prayers and we hope to see our fantastic children back in school very soon.

Thank you from all the staff in the EYFS team
Together in prayer
Pope Francis has encouraged all Christians to pray the Our Father as an act of unity and solidarity. Last week, Pope Francis invited all Christians to direct their voices in unity toward Heaven, reciting the Our Father together.
This week can all make a special effort to respond to the call of Pope Francis and pray the Our Father for the sick, and for all the people who are suffering.

All the children who attended school on Wednesday 25th March and did a great job cooking their own lunch! It was delicious!
Dexter Peacock for fantastic effort with this weeks home learning! You did an amazing job I am very proud of you :)
We think we are fantastic but Ofsted thought so too!
Ofsted January 2019 found Early years to be GOOD
"Adults have built trusting relationships with children and their families. They have established a nurturing atmosphere in which children are well looked after. Staff compliment this with clear routines and high expectations of the children`s behaviour. As a result children cooperate well with each other and their behaviour is good."
"The quality of teaching in the early years is now effective."
"The children make strong progress."
"The early years leaders have identified priorities for improvement and have acted quickly to address these areas."
"Children find activities on offer enticing, because of this, they remain focused for extended periods of time."
We value your support: Tips and useful information for parents and carers
