​Thank you to all the pupils for donating over 115 Christmas Shoeboxes to Team Hope.  These boxes will be delivered to children in countries across Africa and Eastern Europe.  Thank you for kind generosity.

Following on from Friendship Week, we held Anti-Bullying week where we aimed to focus on kindness throughout the school. The isolation of the last year has underlined how small acts of kindness can brighten the lives of the people around us. We learned about how to cope and developed some strategies if we observe or are part of bullying behaviour.  We learned that bullying behaviour is consistent, over time and not a “once off incident “.
