Nurturing Young Minds for a Bright Future


Dear Parents and Carers,  

It has been so lovely to see the sunshine this week! We have had new OPAL equipment arrive and have even more exciting plans coming up in the playground!!

The juniors had their second session from the North Devon Hospice this week and asked some very thoughtful questions.

The year 5 and 6 children took part in Bikeability on Tuesday and Wednesday. They all passed and worked hard to achieve this. Well done to Jemmi, Rose & Alfie. The instructor also commented on how well behaved and polite the children were.

We shared our exciting news this week that we have FREE tickets to an Exeter City ladies football match!!!! Please email Molly if you would like some tickets!

Thank you to the infant parents who attended parents' evening this week. It was lovely to share your child's learning and discuss next steps for the summer term.

We had a fun day today taking part in Red Nose Day for Comic Relief. If you would like to donate, the link below is for our fundraising page.
