A Prayer for New Beginnings and Strength
Dear Lord
As we continue through this school term, we give thanks for each new day You bless us with.
Thank You for the friendships, learning, and opportunities to grow together as a community.
Help us to face the challenges that may come with courage and patience, knowing that You are always by our side.
Grant us the strength to support one another in both joyful and difficult times.
May we lift each other up with words of kindness and actions of love, just as You teach us.
As the seasons begin to change, remind us of the of new beginnings and the hope that each day brings.
May we always seek Your guidance in all we do, and trust in Your plans for our future.
In Your holy name, we pray
Amen.
PD Days & Half Term
We break up for half term today with tomorrow and Friday both being PD Days and school is closed to the children. School resumes on Monday 4th November. We hope that everyone enjoys the break.
Parent Survey
Thank you to those of you who have already completed our parent survey. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us as we strive to continuously improve our school.
So far, we have received only a handful of responses, and we would love to hear from more of you to ensure that the survey truly reflects the views of our parent community. To give everyone the opportunity to have their say, we have extended the closing date until Friday 25th October.
If you haven’t yet had a chance, we kindly ask that you take just a few minutes to complete the survey. Your input plays a key role in shaping the future of our school, and we deeply appreciate your time and support.
