Hello everyone!
It’s Bodhi here with my weekly update. This week I went to my very first Year 5/6 assembly. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but one of my lovely Year 5 friends sat beside me the whole time to help me feel calm and confident. I tried my best to listen carefully and sit nicely—although I might have wagged my tail a bit too loudly!
Tina said she thinks the children were paying more attention to me than to her, but I promise I wasn’t trying to steal the show. I just can’t help being adorable.
I’m looking forward to more adventures around school next week. Until then—big wags and happy paws!Bodhi
The 31st October, which is the closing date for secondary school applications, is fast approaching! Have you remembered to complete and submit an application for your child’s secondary school place in September 2026?
Please note that applying early does not give any priority but to have the best chance of your application being successful, and getting a place at your choice of school, you should complete and submit your application by the deadline. Applications can still be made after this date, but may be looked at after other applications have been considered.

On Friday 23rd May, everyone is invited to join in the fun on Break the Rules Day. The money raised this year will go to City of Sanctuary, a charity which works to build a more welcoming UK for people rebuilding their lives here. Some of our own families are currently dealing with the challenges of seeking sanctuary and we want to support them if we can. Every rule you choose to break will cost you 50p!
The rules you are allowed to break are about appearance, not our school rules. It is still important to be kind and respectful to everyone in school!
For example:
Your class teacher will discuss with you any other rules they are happy for you to break for just this one day. It is up to you to decide with your families which rules you want to break and how much money you are going to pay to raise funds for
City of Sanctuary UK. Please use ParentPay to make your donation.
If you do not wish to take part, just come in normal uniform – you don’t have to!
