We could not have asked for a more enjoyable start to the Summer Term. As the sun shone on the grounds on Monday morning, the children skipped into school sharing news of their holidays be it of our highly successful Normandy trip, IAPS Chess Championship performances, tales from the ski slopes or simply enjoying that…

These past twelve weeks have simply flown by with an extraordinary breadth of highlights to celebrate.

This week has provided yet another fantastic opportunity for our pupils to showcase their musical creativity, talents, courage and team work in so many different areas.

Seeing the children playing with their teachers in fresh snowfall this morning in the most inspirational setting was a timely reminder of how important it is to appreciate the here and now; to enjoy the simple things, to laugh, to play and to enjoy being a child. As adults we understand the fragility of life…
