Nurturing Young Minds for a Bright Future


Dear Parents and Carers,  

What a busy week! I’m very proud of how well the children have coped with many changes. Well done to all of our children. 

We started our week with the SATs breakfast to prepare Rose for her tests. She has given her very best, and we are so pleased with your positive attitude. 

Maggie and Arthur joined us from South Molton Community College this week for work experience. They have both been an asset to our school, showing perseverance, resilience, teamwork and kindness towards our children. We will definitely miss them and wish them all the best for the future.

The juniors have been taking part in a project this week all about Dartmoor Ponies in preparation for a trip next month. We have been looking at the landscape of Dartmoor and how to protect the ponies. 

We have another busy week coming up! Molly and Rose will be attending our Bude residential with other schools in our Trust. It’s a great opportunity to meet other children and create new friendships. 

Have a lovely weekend!
