• Teaching Strikes

  Fri 20 Jan 2023

  As you will be aware, one of the largest teaching unions intends to go on strike on the 1st February, as well as 28th February, and the 15th and 16th March. Whilst we are not in a position to confirm anything yet, early indications are that school will in some way be affected by this. We will keep you informed as best we are able to, but it is likely that this will be quite last minute. In order to put any plans into place we will be guided by government and LA guidance. Thank you for your patience with this.

• Year 2 PSHE

  Fri 20 Jan 2023

  In PSHE Year 2 have been thinking about 'negotiation'. Pupils were set the challenge of creating a tower as a team but they were only given limited materials! Teams had to negotiate with each other to get everything they needed to build their towers. Everyone showed great negotiation skills and worked hard on their team working.
