Headteacher's Update
After such a long period of bubbles and isolation, it is wonderful to be welcoming our community back into school. Our Federation has been a hive of activity this week. At St Thomas' we've had the St Thomas' Church Handbell Ringers perform a fantastic recital to our children, who really enjoyed the performance. Its been wonderful to welcome parent volunteers into school to listen to readers, help in the library and even support mathematics! If you would like to join our growing band of volunteers then you can contact Mrs West to find out more.
Our open days have been a huge success across both schools. They were really well attended and gave us an opportunity to show-off a wealth of great learning opportunities. I felt really proud of our school and our Ambassadors and House Captains from both schools who gave excellent tours and received great feedback from the parents. If you would like to book on to our November tours, then you will find details below.
I would like to wish all of our children and families a very relaxing half term holiday. Don't forget that Monday 31st October is an INSET day, so we look forward to welcoming everyone back at 8.45am on Tuesday 1st November.
Multi-Skills
Well done to all the pupils who participated at the Multi-Skills event last night at Park House School. The children did brilliantly and scored a whopping 276 points!
Open Days
