This week, we have been celebrating Neurodiversity Celebration Week and in KS2, learning about Down Syndrome Awareness Day on Friday. We have another opportunity to share the book Can You See Me?, a fantastic read that helps build the best understanding of Autism. It has been a great way to reflect on tolerance, respect for different needs, and the inclusive nature of our school. Today, we celebrated Red Nose Day, raising money while having fun! A huge thank you to everyone who donated cakes and contributed to this important cause. The children learned about the interesting places where the money goes, encouraging them to think about others and understand the challenges people may face.

Year 3 had an exciting trip to Farm and Country in Wadebridge, supporting their Science curriculum. The children had a wonderful time and represented the school brilliantly—well done, Year 3! Mrs. Brown and our PALS from Years 1, 5, and 6 had a truly inspirational afternoon at the MEDO Café at the Vic, where they shared and learned about toys from history. It was a fantastic opportunity for cross-generational learning and community engagement.

Ofsted is preparing a new framework for school inspections, and they have invited our school to take part in a trial visit next week. This is an exciting opportunity for us! On Tuesday and Wednesday, two inspectors will be in school talking to staff and children, as well as observing lessons. Important to note: This is not a formal inspection—there will be no judgement or report card. Instead, it’s a chance for us to provide feedback and help shape the future of school inspections. We will talk to the children on Monday about our visitors, and we have no doubt they will shine, as always, and show how proud they are to be part of something special.

A busy week and an exciting week ahead!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
