It comes with great sadness that the first school blog of the year follows the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. As we begin the national state of mourning, we at school will be doing all that we can to support the children and our community at this difficult time. At school today, we held a special assembly followed by an afternoon of commemoration. Each class has written a blog page this afternoon, so please do visit the page to see their thoughts about our historic Queen.

As Queen Elizabeth II said: ‘It is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.’
