Dear Parents/carers

I hope you have all had a lovely relaxing and fulfilling summer break. It has been wonderful to have children back in school today and to welcome all our families old and new back to school. Our Reception children have had a very settled session today and it has been lovely to have our first assemblies all about returning to school for a new school year.

Positivity, Respect, Friendship, Trust

These words were just some of the responses from our pupils, in assembly this morning, to my question regarding the ingredients for a successful school year. Your children are so knowledgeable about positive relationships, characteristics of learning and the power of empathy; all the elements of Golden Citizenship. We talked about worries and excitement and supporting each other through the ups and downs of a school year. We discussed trusted adults, safeguarding of ourselves and others and the meaning of community. These are all aspects of Personal Development we will continue in assemblies and within our Citizenship curriculum throughout the school year.
