Weekly News

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope this newsletter finds you well as we come to the end of this half term. The last seven weeks have been filled with so many successes and we are very proud of how our children have embraced every learning opportunity. It has also been great to have welcomed in some prospective parents for school tours over the last couple of weeks - so many have commented on how polite our children are and how impressed they are with the opportunities that our pupils have here.

Black History Month

As we wrap up this half term, today brought a joyful splash of colour and pride to our corridors with Cultural Dress-Up Day. Children arrived in beautiful traditional attire, proudly sharing their heritage and stories. It was a fitting finale to our Black History Month celebrations.

Year 6 Residential
Today we welcomed back our Year 6 children, who returned from their residential trip tired but happy! They’ve built lasting memories, deepened friendships and developed new skills that will stay with them long after the bags are unpacked.

Year 2 Barleylands Trip
Looking ahead, we’re excited to start off next half term with the Year 2 trip to Barleylands on Monday 3rd November. 

Please do check our school calendar for other upcoming events next half term.   https://www.stedwardsva.net/Diary/

Half Term Break
Please note that school is now closed for the half term break, but we will continue to monitor the contact email address should you need to get in touch.

Wishing all our families a restful and refreshing break. We look forward to seeing you back at school on Monday 3rd November.

Warm regards,

Amy McPherson

Head of School
