Learning has been incredibly exciting this week, and we have seen a real step up yet again in expectations across the school. The improvement in how ready our children are for learning has been a joy to see – from looking smart and feeling good, to the way they sit, focus and present their work when learning and writing in class. We have been genuinely blown away by their pride, effort and attitude.

Miss Grubb and Mr Knight have begun visiting local nurseries and pre-schools, taking the time to get to know the newest members of our school community ahead of September. At the other end of the school, our Year 6 children are absolutely ready to show what they know as they approach their KS2 SATs. The momentum this year has been exceptional – not just in SATs preparation, but in ensuring our children are confident, resilient learners who are truly ready for the demands of the secondary curriculum, built on strong foundational knowledge and high expectations.

With a long weekend ahead, we hope everyone takes time to rest and recharge – perhaps with plenty of Jacob Collier, our musician of the month, playing in the background! We then return for a busy three-week half term… before yet another well-earned holiday.
