Message from Mrs Hirst
As I come to the end of my first week as Headteacher, I would like to say a huge thank you for the warm welcome I have received from our children, staff, parents, and carers. It has been a real joy spending time in classrooms, on the playground, and around the school, and beginning to get to know our incredible pupils. I have already seen how kind, enthusiastic, and hardworking they are, and how much care and dedication our staff bring to school each day. I am really looking forward to getting to know families over the coming weeks and working together to give every child the best possible start to their learning journey. Thank you for making my first week such a positive one—I’m excited for what lies ahead.

Warmest wishes,
Mrs Hirst
