Layla Earl for Care
Layla always tidies up after other at playtime. She does so without ever having to be asked, but will always do her bit to keep the yard tidy every day without fail. She has been a fantastic support to all the lunchtime staff this year.
Miss Arkless for Courage
For teachers moving to new year groups, it takes courage to learn the new curriculum and expectations – this is particularly true in Y6. Miss Arkless has embraced her new position, and planned fantastic work which has allowed the Y6 children to shine. Her love of reading has inspired her students to great things, and she has been a fantastic role model to her class.
Spencer Mitchell for Commitment
Spencer has shown his deep love of reading this term, embracing a wide range of texts of various genre. He always achieves his golden ticket, and is so enthusiastic and committed to get his nose back into a good story whenever he has finished his work.
Evangeline Lumley for Curiosity
Evangeline is such a kind child. She is always seeking out new people to play with, and learning new skills from the other children on the playground. Her curiosity shines through as she involves herself in games and conversations with children from all age groups.

Thank you to parents and carers for ensuring the children were here on time and looking immaculate in their choir uniform. We look forward to seeing the final Carol Service which we will put on the website and social media.
