Welcome Back to School! What a fantastic start we've had after our lovely Easter break! It's been a busy but exciting week settling back into school, and we're thrilled to see everyone's smiling faces again. Our after-school clubs are off to an amazing start, with Gipping Valley and Thurston Sports Partnership giving our Year 3 and 4 students a thrilling taste of archery!
