Headmaster's Message
Dear Parents
We have all enjoyed a hard-working week here at school, blessed with plenty of sunshine and warm weather. Let’s hope that continues for the Year 6 children on the trip to Devon next week, although my experience is that adults worry more about the weather than the children do. They have been very excited about this trip during the week and they received their hoodies in assembly today, giving them a real sense of togetherness and a common purpose. Many thanks to the FoC who provide the funding for the hoodies and taking care of all the ordering as well.
On the theme of FoC, it was great to see so many parents, staff and children at the charity walk last Sunday at Draycote Water. The theme of the sponsored walk coincided nicely with national mental health week as we raised money for our charity of the term, Place2B.
As you know, we are currently taking part in The Carnegie Mental Health Award for Schools which involves a thorough self-assessment and developing a self-improvement plan. As part of this process we are currently looking at the appointment of a school lead on wellbeing and pastoral care, more news of which I will be able to bring you later in the term.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Joe Thackway
