• Ambassadors Reflect

  Sat 26 Feb 2022 M.Jones

  Pupil voice is really important in our school.   This week we went through the school SEF (Self Evaluation Form) which we share with governors and added the opinions of our Ambassadors.   We have a list of actions after thinking about all of the areas of our school, and we are going to make the election of Ambassadors even more formal by allowing pupils from other year groups to vote for each other.   Watch our for the summer vote!

• Darren Edwards

  Mon 07 Feb 2022 M.Jones

  An inspirational time was had by all who listened to Darren today.  He told us about how he had aspired to climb Everest and then due to a climbing accident several years ago his dream was destroyed.  Darren shared how strength can come through adversity and he how he has learned to master Kayaking and complete challenges he could never have dreamt of since he left hospital. We are hoping to follow Darren as he attempts to complete seven marathons over seven continents in October this year. 
   

  We can do much more than we can ever think or imagine. Thank you Darren for showing us how you are still able to dream big even with a disability. You have a limitless drive and determination - truly inspirational.

  Two of our children were spotted enjoying some personal reflection time this week, they were enjoying the pause and pray area in school.  Taking time out is so important for our personal well-being.
