Message From the Head
Dear Parents
Welcome back to the second half of term, and a warm welcome to the new families joining us in Nursery, Reception, and Year 5 this week.
As a community, we have much to celebrate and engage with. Pre-Prep parent consultations took place this week, with Prep and Upper School consultations following next week. Today we look forward to our Bonfire and Fireworks event at 6pm (with food stalls) – always a joyous occasion, and one through which the Parents’ Association raises valuable funds. You may also notice our new portable Astro lights, kindly provided through parent donations, helping to illuminate proceedings.
Looking ahead to December, we have a mix of familiar and new events to keep our festive energy high. At Christmas, we hope to have some fun and, as a charity with a gently Christian ethos, to provide opportunities for spiritual reflection and for helping others in our community. Please do check the calendar, but for now, here are some key dates:
- 29th November – Christmas Fair
- 1st December – Christingle Service
- 4th December – Pre-Prep Nativity
- 4th December – Year 8 Production: Shakespeare in Love
- 9th December – Carol Service
- 10th December – Happily Ever After (Nursery and Kindy), Cats Grin Christmas Theatre (Nursery–Year 4) and Christmas Charity Colour Run (Year 5 and above)
- 11th December – Christmas Jumper Day, Santa Claus Visit, and Christmas Lunch
On the immediate horizon, we have our Remembrance Service next Tuesday at 8.45 a.m, and parents are warmly invited to join us. Thank you to our Year 8 Captains for selling poppies in support of the British Legion.
Kind regards
Mr Towers, Head
