A message from the Principal, plus funding support plea for several exciting projects Welcome from the Principal, plus funding support plea for several exciting projects A warm welcome back. It's hard to believe we're already halfway through the first term, and what a fantastic start we've had.
I hope your children are settling back into school life and making the most of the exciting activities we've had so far. There's so much to celebrate, and I'm delighted to share some highlights with you. We've loved welcoming Key Stage 2 families into our school for Magic Morning, as well as our Open Events.
Our students were brilliant hosts, proudly showing prospective families what makes our school so special. A big thank you to everyone involved in making these events a success!
