Nurturing Young Minds for a Bright Future


Dear Parents and Carers,  

What a busy last week of term!! On Monday we had a visit from Serena and her lovely guide dog Cathy. The school council presented her with a cheque for £75 for the Guide Dogs. This was money our children raised at our Christmas Fayre, and we were very proud to have achieved this. Well done to our children.

On Tuesday, I joined the other Heads of School in the Trust for a leadership day. This was an opportunity to look at new policies and the latest Ofsted Framework. This is always a very beneficial day with lots to bring back and share with our staff.

We had a busy day on Wednesday with Easter crafts and an egg hunt! Thank you very much to the PTA for providing our children with resources for such a lovely afternoon.

Our lovely school was advertised in the Molton Monthly this weekend! It was a great chance to engage the community to share what we can offer at our school.

We have lots to look forward to in the summer term, including a visit to Rock and Rapid, Bude residential, Wildside, swimming and so much more.

Thank you to our lovely team for another wonderful term and for always going over and above for our children. A big thank you to our families for being so supportive this term. We really do appreciate it.

I hope you have a lovely break and enjoy some Easter eggs! We look forward to welcoming the children back to school on Monday 20th April.
