16-19 transport – does it work for you? We’re running a survey to find out how your young person’s transport is working right now. It will take a few minutes to complete.

If you’re a parent of a young person with #SEND aged 16-19 and in receipt of home to school transport, please take a moment to fill in this short survey.

Contact particularly wish to hear from families who have been refused transport. Thank you.

Turns out that our caretaker left a note in every classroom and office in the whole school!!!

Another heart filling moment. Class prayers, inspired by the parable of the mustard seed 🌱. I love how Y4 have prayed for babies too! 💚

How wonderful!

Can someone kind please advise on how to stay on top of school policy review timeframes please?! I’d love a doc of some sort that summarises review periods. I’m sure there’s a whizz that’s done this already! Thank you 🙂
