Important Docs




The following staff from Primary and Secondary completed their Action Research Defences recently, which marks the end of the SUNY Master's study:

Amanda Oliver, Amel Ouzrout, Ana Russo, Faten Haidar, Gerhard Swart, Hiba Bou Ajram, Itzel Madero Hernandez, Jessica Houston, Lewis Polden, Nerike Combrink, Nikkola Stearne, Rita Hbeich

Many congratulations to them all on completing the course and graduating.



In these busy times, please try to respond to parental emails as swiftly as you can. The next day is ideal, if not two days later when at all possible (not including weekends).







As indoor break times have arrived, this is a shoutout to homeroom teachers who inevitably have fewer breaks during this time of the year. Thank you for all that you do, and specialists, if you are in a position to, please offer to relieve teachers in their classrooms whenever you can.

Rita helped the Owls class during circle time


Thank you Rita for helping Ms Saja today!


Mr Lewis's shadow on Thursday was Adham from class 6-7. He spent time working on the PULSE and attended a Primary Leadership meeting, in between his y6 - 7 transition assembly! We spoke about visible leadership.
