What a week it’s been!

There’s been a real buzz around school as all our teachers have been getting stuck into introducing their new classes to their new classrooms! A big well done to our incredible Year 6s, who had their transition day at secondary school. They made a brilliant impression on the staff at RLS – I’ve already heard glowing feedback! It was lovely to hear how excited they were to explore the building, meet new teachers, and start making friends from other schools. A big step, and they handled it with such maturity.

Our staff have been busy learning too! Mrs Ewart joined other deputy heads from TPAT to visit two schools in Plymouth – lots of great ideas and professional conversations flowing. Mrs Jerome-Snell also visited a Plymouth school as part of her coaching diploma – she came back full of inspiration. We really believe in everyone learning here, and that goes for the grown-ups as well as the children – we never stop!

Year 2s trip to Trebah Gardens was just delightful – the children were beautifully behaved, so polite and kind to one another, and they soaked up loads of scientific facts while exploring the gardens. A real joy!

And what a treat it was to welcome our new EYFS families for the after-school picnic – such a lovely way to get to know the school, meet the staff, and start making new friends. We can’t wait to see more of you in September!

Next week is shaping up to be just as busy – so do keep an eye on updates.

Wishing you all a restful and sunny weekend!
