Headteacher's Message
Our mission: To provide a holistic Christian education for all and to inspire discipleship.
Our vision: To be a Christian community in which everyone grows in character, faith, knowledge, understanding and wisdom.
I don't think it's widely known, but teachers usually find teaching lessons much easier than activity weeks. A structured day with learning objectives is often far easier than a less structured time of fun. Staff worked incredibly hard to plan this week, making sure there was a mix of activities to please everyone, only to have to resort to plan B, when extreme weather meant last minute cancellations. After all the team meetings, planning, ideas and risk assessments, they were given less than 24 hours to do it all again. I think they all came up trumps and students have had a fantastic extra curricular week. Upper school have painted, planted, weeded and hunted for our treasures within the community, whilst a number of staff have volunteered additional hours to make fun for them. Today our staff who usually have Thursdays at home have been dressed up as Zombies, Cruella, a homeless person, joined by parents and ex students as a dinosaur, a jockey, and office worker and street cleaner. Thank you, you mad and giving bunch. There have been park trips, sport day, water fights, a theatre visit, a trip to the science museum, and fun in EYFS.
Thank you staff team, who really do give so much more than their job! I hope your children can tell you of the fun they have had.
