Head of school message

A very warm welcome to all our new families joining us this term, to those returning with siblings, and to everyone coming back after a summer break. It has been wonderful to watch so many children settle into Nursery School and across Day Care, especially as many have moved into new rooms. The resilience our children show is truly remarkable. Please don’t be concerned if, as the novelty begins to wear off next week, you notice a few more tears—this is very common. As children start to explore their wider world, they are learning that you will always return, and that school is a fun and exciting place to be.

We look forward to another fantastic academic year, working together to achieve the best outcomes for our children, families, and community.

To support your child in sharing their thoughts and experiences, set aside a few calm minutes each day to connect.

Simple prompts like “Show me something you liked today” or “Point to how you’re feeling” can help your child share in a way that works best for them. This daily routine builds their confidence, develops their communication skills and celebrates their unique voice.

Success Story of the Week!

We're thrilled to share this week's success story from our Conker room!

The children have been engaging in an activity where they independently collected their favourite coloured lolly stick to post in their box. This exercise is to promote their independence, helping them identify colours, and developing their fine motor skills. It's wonderful to see their confidence and enthusiasm grow as they make choices and refine their abilities through play.
