Our strap line was created over four years ago now when a group of staff, governors, parents and children came
school together to build a vision for a future that we wanted to be part of. We felt then, as we do now, that if we are
first inspired, we can then feel secure in the knowledge that we can be challenged which inevitably will lead to us

I have been blown away by many things this week. It all started on Monday morning during assembly discussing
with asthma the topic of truthfulness. We heard about what Jesus said in St John's gospel about truth and honesty setting us
should have an free. One of the children felt that when they told a lie they felt 'stuck' and when they were honest they had an

I was also invited into another lesson in Yr 6 on Wednesday where a child was teaching the lesson on rationing!
Yr 3&6—10am She had prepared the lesson for homework and was confident enough to deliver to her peers. You may be
forgiven for thinking well that is an eleven year old...but I also know that in year three children are given
Yr 4&5—2pm opportunities for leading the chanting of their number facts and tables too...

We have also just taken on another talented parent to help us at lunchtime, supporting our fabulous children. If
you have any time throughout the day that you can give to us than please contact Mrs Webb or myself. Maybe
you are an avid reader, a gardener or would love to come and play games with our children at lunchtime. Maybe
you are an artist or architect, an engineer, a nurse, a builder, a chef or have another gift that you can share with
us. Maybe you are not working at present and want to volunteer your services in school to help support getting
you back into the job market. Maybe you are a grandparent and have always wanted to be involved in school
life. If any of these ideas speak to you then get in touch. Your school, needs you!

See you at the Christmas Fayre, doors open at 10!
