Welcome Back!

It’s been a busy few weeks since the start of the new term, and we’re thrilled to see the children settling back in so well. Attendance is on the rise, and we’re hopeful that the recent bout of sickness is behind us. We hope all our families had a wonderful Christmas and New Year break and are ready for a fresh and exciting term ahead!

Agora Values Day – Optimism

This Monday, we celebrated our third Agora Values Day, with a focus on Optimism! In previous sessions, we explored the values of Ambition and Generosity, and this time, we dove into understanding what optimism means and how we can incorporate it into our daily lives. It was wonderful to see such creative ideas and inspiring discussions taking place across all classes. These Values Days continue to be a fantastic opportunity for our students to connect, reflect, and share learning not only within our school but across all ten schools in our multi-academy trust.

Dressing for the Weather

As we all know, the weather at this time of year can be unpredictable! It might be chilly, wet, or a mix of both, so we kindly ask that you ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the day. A warm coat, hat, and gloves are essential, and for those attending afterschool clubs, spare trainers or football boots are a great idea to keep everyone comfortable.
