Weekly News Update

Dear Parents and Carers,

We hope the January blues haven’t hit you too hard. On our Abbey walk this morning, I did notice the spring bulbs starting to poke through — a lovely sign of brighter days ahead 🌱🌼

It was so lovely to receive a card and letter from the King this week, thanking us for the card and Holy Thorn sprig. It really reminds us how unique our town is 👑

We are pleased to announce that Forest School sessions with a Forest School Teacher will begin next week for the Reception children. The sessions will be led by Keida Pressey 🌳🪵

You can find out more about her Forest School approach by visiting The Wild Woodlings Stay and Play Facebook page:

Have a restful weekend 💛😌

Warm regards,

Kerry Devane (Headteacher)
