SEA Visit
We were delighted to welcome our School Effectiveness Advisor this week, with a focus on oracy across the school.
It was wonderful to see the excellent practice taking place in classrooms, with children demonstrating strong communication and listening skills. Our advisor was particularly impressed by the purposeful talk evident throughout the school, including our youngest children confidently sharing ideas and engaging in meaningful discussions.
A highlight of the visit was observing a presentational talk, showcasing the confidence, vocabulary and speaking skills that the children are developing.

Lost Property
Have you lost something? It might be waiting for you!
We currently have a large amount of lost property, including many items that are unnamed, as well as a selection of pre-loved school uniform with previous owners' names still inside.
Lost property and pre-loved uniform will be available to view during our Parent Consultation Evenings. We encourage all families to take a moment to check through the items, as there may be belongings that have found their way into our collection.
Please note that any unclaimed items will be donated or disposed of after the consultations.
