Celebrating Growth - Children
July 2025 - Headteacher's note:
What a privilege and joy it was to be transported to the riverbank and watch the KS2 production of The Wind in the Willows. I am enormously proud of each and everyone for the part they played, front stage and back stage, to bring this wonderful story to life. A huge thank you goes to Mrs Healy and the KS2 team for their vision, determination and hard work in staging this production. Thank you to the children for the wonder, trust, harmony and resilience that they clearly demonstrated not only this week but each and every day from the auditions right up to the phenomenal final performances.
