Dear Parents and Carers

I was so proud of the children and staff during our SIAMS inspection yesterday. The children were very happy to share their thoughts about spirituality, our school vision based on a verse from the book of Zephaniah (shown below) and were really welcoming of the Inspector when she entered their classrooms. The singing of favourite worship songs in the classrooms throughout the school was a joy to behold at the beginning of the day. I would like to thank the parents who came and met with Kate yesterday morning. We hope to have a copy of the Inspector's report to share with you before the end of the term.

The Lord your God is with you,
A Mighty One who will save,
He will rejoice over you with gladness
He will renew you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing
Zephaniah 3 v 17

Best wishes

Valerie Elliott
