WOW! We have once again been awarded the School Games Gold Mark for our commitment, engagement and delivery of competitive school sport during 2018-19.
Dear parents and carersWe have had a wonderful week celebrating Harvest and all the good things which come to us at this time of year. We have also encouraged the children to think about people less fortunate and were lucky to be visited by Julia from The Besom on Monday to explain to us what this wonderful charity does. Years 1 to 6 visited St Bartholomew’s Church for their Harvest Celebrations and Rev Paul joined Cygnets and Ducklings in school as they shared their Harvest Songs! You may have noticed that the new Nurture Hut has arrived! It is not quite finished, but we are really excited about this project to support our children and can’t wait to see it in use very shortly!

Did you know that the 10th Oct is World Mental Health Day? The statistics say that 1 in 4 people in the UK will have some kind of mental illness every year, so if we were to look around the playground at pick up, that’s a lot of people we know that are struggling. Mental health is not just about illness and having a diagnosis. We all need to look after our wellbeing, and give ourselves the time and resources we need to achieve our goals. Our focus for our fundraising this last year has been to raise money to support the Nurture Hut, a space where the school children can get some individual attention, as it says above, not just for children with specific conditions, but for everyone and anyone who needs a little space and support to improve their wellbeing. We’re very excited that the Hut has arrived and is well on it’s way to completion and so we’re asking everyone to celebrate World Mental Health Day on the 10th October and support our fundraising by ...

‘Messy Ducks’ is:A form of church for children and adults that involves creativity, celebration and hospitality.It meets at a time (and sometimes in a place) that suits people who don't necessarily belong to church.It typically includes a welcome, a creative time to explore the biblical theme through getting messy; a short celebration time involving story, prayer, song, games and similar; and a sit-down meal together at tables. It's fun.It's a church for people at all stages of their faith journey and of any age It models and promotes good ways of growing as a family: a nuclear family, an extended family, and a global and local church family.Its aim is to introduce Jesus, to give an opportunity to encounter him and to grow closer to him.
WE REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AND BEING CREATIVE TOGETHER.Please note our next ‘Messy Ducks’ session will be on Saturday 7 December 2.30-4.00pm. This session will be held in church again.
