Coral Class had a fantastic time in Gymnastics this week! The children enjoyed practising their balancing skills and confidently using the wall bars. It was great to see them challenging themselves, building strength and coordination, and most importantly, having lots of fun while staying active.
In Lime Class this week, the children became electrical investigators! They made predictions and explored which materials could conduct electricity to complete a circuit. It was fantastic to see everyone so engaged, experimenting confidently and enjoying hands-on Science learning.
We are very proud to share that our school has received a letter of congratulations from the Secretary of State for Education, Bridget Phillipson, recognising the excellent outcomes achieved by our pupils.
The letter highlights the strong progress made by our disadvantaged pupils and confirms that their achievements are above national averages. This is a significant recognition of the hard work, dedication and commitment shown by our pupils, staff and wider school community.
The Secretary of State also acknowledged the positive impact of high expectations, effective teaching and the inclusive support we provide to ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed.
We would like to thank our families for their continued support and partnership. Together, we remain committed to raising standards, sharing best practice and ensuring the very best outcomes for all our children.
Happy Feast of St John Bosco!
His dedication to educating and guiding young people is the foundation on which our school was built and continues to inspire us as educators today. We began our celebrations with a special Mass this morning and will carry that spirit forward as we spend the day learning and discovering new things together.
