My first ever blog

I have decided to follow in Mr Young's footsteps and continue this weekly Headteacher's blog. I have not communicated with parents this way before but, I am sure that I will soon get the hang of it.

The Year 4 children are going to Colchester castle tomorrow. This will be a long day for them as they are leaving before school starts and will return around 4.30pm.   Hopefully the weather will hold up for them and, more importantly, the coach company will have the fuel to get them there and back.

We are using Picture News resources for a weekly assembly.  The resources have news articles and a collective worship assembly especially written for Church of England schools.  You might like to talk about the theme with your child, so to help you with this, I will send the home resources out on the parents' page each week so that you can discuss the Big Question with your child.  The resources help children understand and respect the views and opinions of others as well as the similarities and differences across cultural, ethnic, socio-economic and religious communities. 

Thank you for your continued support
