A big thank you!

Thank you everyone so much for your kind messages of support and gratitude after the events of Friday.  Also for all the baking and fruit that has been shared in the staff room.  Let's hope this is something we don't have to go through together ever again.  Your children continue to be amazing and kind and entertain us every day.


Kind regards
Kate and Heather
