Today we mark #WorldKindnessDay. Kindness builds safe, respectful school communities where everyone belongs. Let’s take a moment to show kindness, share a kind word, or reach out to someone who needs support.

Today, we pause together in remembrance.
Our pupils and staff have reflected through assemblies, poetry and classroom activities - honouring those who gave so much for others.
We look back with gratitude and forward with hope.
We will remember them.

Year 5 filled the hall with light and colour in their Diwali assembly on Wednesday! 🪔
We learnt about Rama and Sita, enjoyed wonderful dancing and singing, and celebrated the message of light overcoming darkness.
