Problem Pals
Some of the KS3 journalists have set up a post box outside the school office.
If you have a problem or a question which requires their help, please pop a note into the box and the query and their advice will be part of the school magazine. It is anonymous. The editors will be supported by teachers and the Mental Health Champions in their responses to the problems.
A problem shared is a problem halved… So share yours with the Problem Pals!

Prep News
Well, what an exciting week in Prep School this week!!
We started with a super Harvest Festival, led by Year 6, in Peopleton Church. A big thank you to Mrs Izod for leading the Infant and Junior choir performances. An amazing contribution for Maggs Day Centre, which will accompany the village collection, so thank-you all for your kind donations.
The children wrote some lovely facts in Infants this week based on the book ‘Hibernation hotel’ – the children used visual prompts from the story to write some super sentences. I was so impressed with their work.
Year 6 children have been very busy and highly creative with their tasks for the Tudors home project. They brought in lots of different creations including a 3D Tudor farm, an estate agents brochure for a house in Tudor times; a minecraft Tudor house and contents, a video tour of a Tudor house, powerpoint presentations and some children even made their own butter, inspired by our visit to Mary Arden’s farm at the beginning of the year.
The children then did their fabulous musical assembly called Henry VIII, where Henry and his six wives were in their portraits and came to life. We are so very proud of each of the children as they all participated and really enjoyed the play/songs for this assembly. Please do check out our Prep socials to see some great photos, as well as a lovely clip where we have the whole school up singing one of our songs, the Mary Rose. You might even spot Mr Bury in there!
Our Stars of the Week in Prep School this week are:
- Infants - Roux - for being a kind friend
- Year 3 - George - for being a lovely friend
- Year 4 - Francesca - for always trying her best
- Year 5 - for always giving 100% in all lessons
- Year 6 - Oscar - for fabulous speaking in both our class assembly and Harvest festival
Next week is another busy week – Infants are on a trip, we are welcoming Miss Chamberlain into our Infants department next week for work experience, Anglo-Saxon day in Year 5 and Tait’s Treasures – Roman edition on Monday!
Mrs Mao and Prep Team
Enjoy your weekend all…
