Thank you to Emma and her team for our delicious Easter lunch which was served as a replacement to our cancelled Christmas dinner. It has definitely given us a spring in our step !

Many of our children have neuro diverse diagnoses such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, ASD or ADHD. These learning differences are a gift and give them their super powers which might include creative thinking, problem solving, amazing memories and incredible skills across the curriculum. Sometimes school can be a bit of a challenge but we know that’s because we are imperfect, not them. We will always do everything we possibly can to encourage our neuro diverse learners to have high self esteem and to feel proud of themselves. Their futures are so bright.

We have recently been trying to track down some more detail about the bombing of our school in the 1940s. A News Shopper article from the 1990s talks of a doodlebug hit in 1943, but looking at the Bomb Census it seems that the Middle Park and Sutcliffe ward also took a high number of hits (114) between 1940 and 1941. Our current meeting room did originally have two floors above it before the blast.

We hope you’re all managing to keep safe and warm in this chilly weather. It’s very icy today so be careful out there.

Look at us ! What a bunch of supermodels we are. Thanks to Mrs Fenn for liaising with Specsavers in Beckenham to secure a donation of high vis vests. They will definitely be put to good use once we are out and about again. Thank you Specsavers
