It is hard to believe that as I write this we are almost at the end of another academic year. Currently the Year 6 pupils are sitting their SATs. Reflecting back, I am proud of the achievements of our pupils and staff which have contributed to another successful year.

The Autumn Term was full of promise as we welcomed our new Reception intake for the very first time, as well as welcoming pupils from Speen to begin their KS2 education with us. We enjoyed our harvest festival in Church and continue to hold a regular collection for the Wycombe Food Hub. The term culminated in the now famous KS2 pantomime, adding a little fun to the serious business of the telling the story of the Nativity which was expertly delivered by KS1 and Reception.

The Spring term began with Y4,5 and 6 pupils attending the Young Voices Concert in Birmingham. I hope that giving the pupils the opportunity to sing as part of a massed choir in a packed arena will inspire some to pursue singing and develop a love of music beyond their time at school.

Our sports teams continued to excel, with the boys winning their football league for the third consecutive season and our netballers again competitive in their matches.

Without the Upper School running sports events, I’ve been grateful for the contribution by our staff in stepping up to ensure that our pupils are still given the opportunities to represent the school at sport.

Our younger pupils were also successful, winning the inaugural KS1 five-a-side festival. Our girls football team continues to shine, improving with each game and claiming some notable victories

Our curriculum continues to develop, and pupils have been given additional experiences. Highlights includes Hazard Alley (Y6) to learn about keeping safe and ‘citizenship’, Y5 have visited Dorset for a 3-day residential, with Year ¾ attending Verulanium Roman Site. Reception and KS1 have trips planned to College Lake and Wooley Firs Nature reserve.

Our links with the community continue to be as strong as ever with pupils supporting the litter picks and encouraging their own parents to park sensibly and not leave their engines idling — I suspect this message may take longer to sink in but rest assured the message continues to be shared!

Finally our church school ethos remains the backbone and a guiding light over everything we do as a school, for that my eternal thanks must go to Reverend Tony and the rest of the clergy team.
