Virtue of the month
Courage
Courage is the ability to face fear, difficulty, or uncertainty with strength and determination.
It’s about doing what’s right or challenging, even when you feel scared, unsure, or worried.
Courage helps us take risks, stand up for what we believe in, and overcome challenges.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” Nelson Mandela

Safeguarding

Free School Meals
We understand how important it is for children to have the energy and focus they need to learn and thrive. That’s why we’re encouraging all parents and carers to check whether they might be eligible for free school meals. Even if you’re unsure, it’s worth applying—many families qualify without realising it.
The application process is quick, confidential, and could make a real difference to your child’s school experience. It also helps the school receive additional funding to support learning and wellbeing for all pupils.
