Nurturing Young Minds for a Bright Future


Dear Parents and Carers,  

What a busy first week back! I hope our families had a lovely, relaxing Easter break.

Thank you for bearing with me this week while I have been unwell, the infant class have coped with the changes very well.

The children had a wonderful time at Rock and Rapid on Tuesday. They took part in a variety of activities and showed great teamwork and resilience.

The infant class had a great trip to Horner farm on Thursday with Mrs Joselin. Thank you to Leah and Mrs Stapleford for attending the trip. We really appreciate it. The owners of the farm commented, 'this group of children are the most engaged that we have had here'. Well done infants!

On Sunday a number of our families will be attending a football match supporting Exeter City's ladies' team. We are very grateful to have been given tickets for this event and I hope everyone has a wonderful time.

We have lots to look forward to this term and some exciting opportunities for our children.

Have a lovely, sunny weekend!
