Living sustainably - Christmas card ideas
Thu 24 Nov 2022As a school community, we continue to look for ways to 'Live Simply' and sustainably. We know that giving Christmas cards spreads a great deal of joy but we also think now is a good time to reflect on whether we could reduce the number of Christmas cards that get sent into school each year. We want to protect God's wonderful creation - the world we live in, for the children in our school and for many more generations to come. We have some alternative suggestions to consider below... and in helping to save the planet, they might also save you some money too! We are not trying to spoil anyone's fun... and the decision is entirely up to you!

Reach out for anti-bullying week!
Mon 21 Nov 2022In our PSHE lessons across the school last week we thought about the importance of 'Reaching out' to stop bullying. We thought about what bullying was, how to prevent it and what to do if we feel that we are being bullied or we have noticed it happening to someone else. On Friday we came to school in odd socks to remind ourselves that we are all different and that our differences make us special and should be celebrated.
