Dear Parents,

It feels like only yesterday we welcomed everyone back to a new School year, and yet, here we are at half-term already.

It’s been wonderful to see so many of you at our 'Meet and Greet' events, and I hope you’ve enjoyed reconnecting with the School community.

Pupils have been hard at work in the classroom, and many have also had the chance to enjoy exciting residential trips.

Looking ahead, the second half of term promises to be just as full of activity, with a busy schedule and, of course, the festive preparations as we approach Christmas.

We look forward to continuing this exciting journey with you all.

Mr Alan Whelpdale,

Headmaster
