Ethos Council, by Mrs Kellett
Date: 28th Sep 2015 @ 12:21am
On Thursday, our Ethos and Distinctiveness Committee met for the first time. This is a newly formed committee that forms part of our Governing Body. Rev Gary and Margaret met with our ethos council and our school council to discuss worship in our school.
They told the Governors all about the great things that happen in each class during our class worship sessions and how they are going to help the teachers make it even better.
They have asked to start to lead worship in front of the whole school and that is something Miss Hope and I are going to help them with.
Well done children. I was so proud of how confident and articulate you were in front of our Governors.

Many thanks to the parents for making our Inspire afternoon a great success. It was a tremendous turnout and the artwork was very impressive. The children's work was also quite good . I think it got quite competitive amongst several parents with one actually considering selling his materpiece!
Big thanks to Mrs Taylor who really got everyone warmed up for the session by showing us a snapshot of what the children have been learning this year in French.
