Welcome back to school!
On Sunday my friend asked how he could pray for my return to work this week, and he was surprised that I was excited and looking forward to coming back. He said usually teachers he knows dread September.
I am grateful for a team who work so hard, and really believe in what we do as a school. What a privilege to start a school year with prayer, worship and Bible reading.
We also had Professional Development courses in safeguarding, first aid and how to encourage higher order thinking in our teaching and learning. Thanks to Hannah Pickles, James Stannett, and Cath Kershaw for their leadership.
We have had a wonderful first few days, with new staff, new timetable, new children and old ones too.
You should have heard that Mrs March is taking care of upper school pastoral needs, and Mrs Taylor is taking care of middle school pastoral needs Mrs Garcia will work alongside them both.
Your first port of call should be form/ class teachers if you have any concerns, please email them if you have any questions
