Dear Parents & Carers,
It was a pleasure to welcome your children back after the half-term break and it has been lovely to see them hard at work and enjoying each other’s company.
Before moving to this week’s events, I must take this opportunity to thank Marie Bluck and her team, the caretakers and groundsmen for all their work over the half term. Whilst most of us were enjoying some peace and quiet, they were hard at work here tackling the damage from the first storm of the year.
With large trees down on both entrance and exit drives and on the main field, and with a number of trees falling on the newly erected fence, there was much to be done in a very short time. Thanks to their determination, the overwhelming majority of the work has been completed and we are once again in communication with our insurance company.
Back here at school, one might have expected a gentle start to the new session, but nothing could have been further from the truth. In addition to regular lessons and activities, we have hosted an Eco-Conference (with local primary schools and external contributors in attendance), started preparations for the House singing competition, seen the Under 10 and Under 11 rugby and hockey teams travelling to Mount Kelly and the Under 11 netballers at the Penair tournament and, of course, witnessed the first round of the Conker Competition (with well over a hundred children and staff involved). Furthermore, we have welcomed new pupils, a raft of prospective parents and the parents of children in Year 3 for their Open Door ‘Book Look’.

Running parallel to this, our theme for the week has been that of Courage. As we approach the shorter days and darker mornings and evenings (and especially if we are feeling a little tired), we can become a little timorous and less inclined to engage with opportunities. During our assemblies, we spent time focusing on the importance of courage and bravery and how, whilst obvious examples can involve stunning feats of heroism and fearlessness, courage can also be small and quiet.
We identified that courage often starts with one small act and that we have countless opportunities to be courageous on a daily basis.
Most importantly that courage is not the absence of fear, it is doing the right thing even when we feel afraid.
We will revisit this theme often throughout the next few weeks, and particularly so as we move towards our Remembrance Day service that will take place here at school next Wednesday, 11th November.
I wish you all a super weekend with your lovely children.
With every good wish,
Rob

We warmly invite you to attend our AGM, where we will review the previous year and hold elections for the year ahead.

Every year these positions are re-appointed, and new members to the Committee are warmly welcomed from our wide membership across both school sites.
This year nominations are asked to be submitted two weeks before the AGM – DEADLINE 4pm 19th November.
All nominations are to be supported by a named Proposer and Seconder, one of whom is to be a current FTS Committee Member or FTS Representative, along with a very short personal statement.
