Good afternoon,

What a fantastic week it has been here at school – one full of memorable moments, sunshine and exciting opportunities for our children!

We began the week with a truly special trip to London for some of our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils. The children had the chance to see some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks – from standing beneath the towering Big Ben to enjoying panoramic views of the London Eye. The highlight for many was our tour of the Houses of Parliament, where the children were able to see democracy in action and explore the heart of our government. Even in the 31-degree heat, spirits remained high and the day was filled with awe and inspiration – a real experience to remember!

This unforgettable trip simply wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing Miss Hill, who spent hours researching the best train times, planning routes and finding clever ways to keep costs low. Her hard work meant our pupils could enjoy a packed, meaningful day in the capital – thank you, Miss Hill! 👏

Closer to home, we celebrated another important milestone as our wonderful Pre-School children graduated this week. 🎓 With proud families watching on, the children marked the end of their early years journey and are now ready to take their next exciting step into Reception in September. They have grown in confidence, independence and curiosity – we couldn’t be prouder! 💖

Our oldest children in school have also been stepping into their next chapter, with some enjoying a transition session at Westleigh High School on Friday. These visits are a brilliant way to ease the transition to secondary school and give our children a flavour of what to expect in September.

And while the end of term may be in sight, there’s no winding down here just yet! Next week promises to be just as action-packed. We’re looking forward to a special author Zoom session in Year 6 and the launch of DT & Art Week across the whole school – a chance for creativity, collaboration and curiosity to shine.

Thank you for your continued support – we’re enjoying every moment of this term and can’t wait to see what next week brings!

Wishing you all a restful weekend,

Mr Robinson

Our focus in Collective Worship this week has been looking at the Christian Value: Wisdom. Our Worships this week have been looking at the Big Picture News Question: Are driverless taxis a good idea?

This week’s story reminds us that God created humans with the ability to learn, build and innovate. Christians believe people are called to use these gifts with care, thinking about how our inventions affect others. As technology advances, we are encouraged to be thoughtful and responsible with the tools we create.

Ask your children the following questions: How could driverless taxis affect people who drive for work? Why do you think God gave humans the ability to invent things? What do you think He hopes we’ll do with those inventions? #LetYourLightShine💡

Our school value for this week is Trust. “The Lord will guide you always” Isaiah 58:11

The Christian value of Trust can be seen in many aspects of school life, both inside and outside the classroom.

Here are some examples of where Honesty can be found:

🏫In School:

Teacher and Children Relationships:

Children trust their teachers to guide them, provide them with knowledge and help them when they need support. Teachers, in turn, trust their students to put in effort and work hard to succeed.

Peer Relationships:

Friends trust each other to be kind, honest and supportive.

🌍In the Community:

Family Relationships:

Parents and children trust each other to be there when needed. Parents trust that their children will respect them and follow the values they teach, while children trust that their parents will care for them and make decisions that are best for their well-being.

Trust is about having faith that others will act with care, honesty and integrity, whether that’s within school, in friendships or in the larger community. It strengthens relationships and makes a positive difference in both personal and shared experiences.

On Monday, 30 of our children had the opportunity to visit London - and what a day it was!

14 hours, 2 cancelled trains, a walking tour, a visit to Parliament, a ride on the tube and all in 31 degree heat!

We are extremely proud of our children, we had compliments on their behaviour and manners from members of the public on the trains, the Parliament staff were blown away by their knowledge and engagement and the coach driver was also appreciative of their manners and respect! And they did all this with minimal moaning about the heat and walking. 😂

This is something we are hoping to continue to do for years to come!

This week, we celebrated a very special milestone in the lives of our youngest learners – our Pre-School Graduation! It was a joyful occasion, filled with proud smiles, happy tears and a few wobbly smiles as our pre-schoolers marked the end of their early years journey and looked ahead to the exciting adventure of starting Reception in September.

Dressed to impress, the children sang songs, shared what they’ve loved about pre-school and proudly accepted their certificates in front of proud families and staff. From learning to count to making new friends, their achievements over the past year have been nothing short of amazing.

A huge thank you goes to the Early Years team for their dedication and care and to all the families who joined us for the celebrations. It was a wonderful way to recognise the children’s growth, confidence and readiness for the next chapter.

Well done, graduates – we are so proud of you! 🌟
