What a fantastic, fun-filled week we’ve had!

Our Year 6 pupils have been enjoying the sights of London, and we couldn’t be prouder of them. As always, they have upheld our high expectations for behaviour, showing kindness, respect and awareness of their surroundings at all times. They represented the school—and you as parents—wonderfully, and it has been a joy to see them manage themselves so maturely and safely.

Back at school, our “staycationers” also had a fabulous time, taking part in activity days and continuing to demonstrate the same sense of responsibility and enthusiasm. It’s been wonderful to see everyone making the most of the opportunities on offer.

We were also delighted to welcome Mr Chirgwin, the new headteacher of TMS, who spent the day with us. He met the children, observed learning, and experienced the excellent behaviour and attitudes that we are so proud of. He commented on the children’s confidence, their ability to ask thoughtful questions, and their genuine curiosity and excitement for learning. There will be many more opportunities for him to visit us over the coming half term.

Our PALS also enjoyed a visit to the MEDO Café, further developing their understanding of the important contributions people make to our community. They once again embodied our school values, showing kindness, respect and care—something we feel is incredibly important.

This week we also celebrated Science Week across the school, which has been full of curiosity, creativity and a love of learning. Activities such as bridge-building not only explored scientific thinking, but also encouraged collaboration across year groups, helping children to develop empathy and build new friendships.

After such a busy half term, I want to take this opportunity to thank and celebrate the amazingness of all our staff team. The team at TMS is so special, always acting in the best interest of the children. The commitment to ensure our children are in the best possible care, and having the best opportunities means that constantly team TMS are going above and beyond. I will miss the team in September, but Mr Chirgwin is excited about working with such a high level of professionalism, care and dedication: thank you.

As we reach the end of this half term, it feels like perfect timing. With the weather improving, it’s an opportunity for our children to rest, recharge, and enjoy some well-deserved downtime before we return for the final 8 weeks of the school year.

Wishing you all a lovely half term.
