  Dear Parents and Carers

   

  Mrs Sessions

   

  As the end of the school year approaches and Mrs Sessions retires, there will be some sad moment, but more importantly we should celebrate her achievements.

   

  During the past 7 years she has built a strong school community, guiding and managing through the Covid lockdown, OFSTED and R.E. Inspections which resulted in ratings of “Good” with outstanding elements.

   

  Going forward into retirement she leaves a very sound school family where the children achieve their potential and where the staff are highly respected in the Diocese, local community and by educational colleagues.

   

  I am sure that you will join with the children, staff and governors in saying to Mrs Sessions

   

  A “Big Thank You” and we wish you

  “A Very Happy Retirement”.

   

  Wishing you all a happy and peaceful summer break.

   

  Kind regards

   

  Mike Simmons

• Year 5 Faith Camp

  Year 5 Faith Camp

   

  Last Friday, Year 5 came together as a year group to work together and develop their faith. The day was themed around 2024 being the ‘Year of Prayer’ and each activity focused on a different way we can pray, for  example through art, music, mindfulness, meditation and being outside. Year 5 were also lucky enough to be part of a Mass led by Fr Richard in the afternoon. It was a very successful day for all involved. The Year 5s approached each activity with openness and positivity.

   

  Katy from Beautiful Gong came into school last       Friday as part of Faith day and delivered 4 Gong Bath workshops to the Year 5's.

  The Gong can aid deep relaxation and it certainly   did for those who attended. Some comments from the children:

  “It was speaking to me, like a different language”

  “I feel like I’m in my bed, I feel so sleepy”

  “It’s amazing”

  “Can we have this everyday?”

  “I feel so relaxed”

   

   

  

• Prayer Garden

  Prayer Garden

   

  Idverde have been working hard this week and we are thrilled that our new prayer garden is nearly completed. They will be back in September to lay turf around the bench seating and we are looking forward to starting to plant out the raised beds. When it is completely finished, we will have an opening ceremony and welcome families who have kindly contributed to the garden to visit it. Mrs Sessions visited the garden yesterday and was delighted at what a calm and reflective space we have created for staff and pupils. If you have not already done so and would like to make a contribution, you can do so by visiting Parentmail or by dropping in cash in a named envelope to the school office.

   

  

• Sports Day

  Sports Day

   

  Unfortunately due to the wet weather predicated today, we had to postpone Sports Day.

  It will now take place on Thursday 18th July. Aspens Select will once again provide packed lunches instead of hot meals.

  Timings will stay the same as before.
