    Headteacher Recognition Time - 7.11.25

    I had a wonderful time with 6 well deserving young people who have gone above and beyond within their learning or their attitude at school.  We celebrated our successes and then had a chat about school where they all shared the name of a member of staff who they would talk to if they had a worry or problem.  After a fun chat, they decided the best things about school are:

    • Reading lessons
    • Chess Club
    • Maths lessons
    • Writing lessons
    • Art with Mrs Maker
    • History lessons
