We were delighted to welcome a very inspiring guest, Elaine, who shared her incredible experiences of competing in multiple Ironman races. The children were fascinated by her determination and positive mindset. Elaine also spoke about her work supporting people through a helpline, helping us reflect on the importance of talking, listening and looking after our mental health as well as our physical health.

Our fantastic Well-Being Buddies also played an important role today. They met with Sarah from myHappymind and asked thoughtful questions about the programme and about how she keeps herself happy and healthy. We were so proud of their confidence and maturity: they represented the school beautifully.

What a brilliant way to launch this new tradition in our school calendar. We’re so excited for the rest of the week as we continue learning how to Be Happy, Be Healthy together 

Our Well-being Buddies led a wonderful assembly to launch the week, sharing important messages about kindness, respect, and standing up for others. The children really enjoyed taking part and showed great enthusiasm throughout the day.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us create a safe, caring, and inclusive school community.

This week, we have had a very exciting discovery. Our site manager found some incredible archaeological artefacts while digging a hole for our chalk pit. Year 3/4 were lucky enough to be part of uncovering what was inside. See attached a newspaper article about the event!
