As we come to the end of an amazing term, I just wanted to send out a quick thank-you and congratulations to a couple of adults that have been working in school.

Firstly, Miss Ralley completed her final teaching practice in our Year 5 class this term.  I think it is really special that she completed this here, as many of you will remember her as a teaching assistant before she left to undertake her degree.  Miss Ralley is now a fully qualified teacher and looking forward to taking on her first teaching role.  A very big well done!

Secondly, Mr Calcutt has decided that it is time for him to retire (again).  After offering to volunteer in school for 6 weeks, he ended up working as a teaching assistant for 6 years.  Mr Calcutt has spent his working life supporting children and their education in a number of roles: teacher, headteacher and then came back out of his first retirement to join our team as a teaching assistant.  I know that we will miss Mr Calcutt being in school, but he has promised to come back and volunteer again in the New Year, so I am sure he will be back in school soon. 

Thank you for your ongoing support. I hope that you all have a lovely Christmas and we look forward to seeing you all in 2025.

Headteacher Awards

Every week, all members of staff are asked to nominate children who have been spotted being responsible, respectful and ready. The code of conduct certificates are always varied and demonstrate the range of places and ways that children demonstrate these values.
