Today at the Federation, we have been celebrating Love—a value that helps our schools grow into happy, caring, and supportive places for everyone.
Throughout the day, our children have been exploring what love looks like in everyday life:
Love in Ourselves Showing confidence, kindness to our own feelings, and pride in our achievements.
Love in Our School Helping friends, sharing equipment, using kind words, and looking after one another.
Love in Our Community Thinking about how we can show care and respect to the people around us—at home, in our neighbourhoods, and to those who work hard to support us.
Love Around the World Learning how acts of kindness and understanding can make a difference globally, and celebrating the wonderful diversity of people across the planet.
Today has been a reminder that love isn’t just a feeling—it’s something we do through our actions, our words, and the choices we make. We are proud of how our children continue to show love in so many meaningful ways.
Have a lovely half term,
Mrs Hirst

It has been a busy and positive first week back, and the children have shown a wonderful attitude as we begin this half term. Our focus on the value of hope is already shining through—encouraging pupils to look ahead with confidence and believe in what they can achieve.
We also have lots of exciting events planned for the weeks ahead, and we look forward to sharing these experiences with you and the children.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

What a wonderful World Book Day we have enjoyed! The school has been buzzing with excitement, creativity and a genuine love of reading. It has been a joy to see our children so engaged—sharing stories, celebrating their favourite characters and taking part in activities that truly brought books to life.
A special thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us in school. Your enthusiasm and support helped make the day even more memorable. It’s always lovely to welcome you into our classrooms and see our school community come together.
Thank you to everyone—pupils, families and staff—for helping create such a positive and enjoyable celebration of reading. Days like this remind us just how powerful stories can be.

It’s been a wonderful week in school. The children have really brought our half-term value of Respect to life—kind words, good manners, careful listening, and looking after our environment. Older pupils have been fantastic role models, helping others and showing fair play in games and PE.
In classrooms, pupils have shown respect by valuing different opinions, working collaboratively, and taking pride in their learning. On the playground, we’ve noticed kindness, inclusion, and team work. A big thank you to our staff for nurturing these habits daily, and to parents and carers for reinforcing them at home.
Together, we’re helping every child to flourish—academically, socially, and spiritually.
Have a lovely weekend!
