Story Trails – Mice on the Castle Terrace

We know how much you love the story trails we run during the school holidays with our friends at Brightwoods. This half term we’ve taken inspiration from the fabulous story The Castle Mice, by Paddington creator Michael Bond. Visit our Facebook page from 9.00a.m on Saturday 23rd May to search for the mice who are hiding on the Castle Terrace.

Over on our blog we’re sharing some of the other Castle themed stories we’ve been enjoying during lockdown.

 

 

Kind Regards,

  Ofsted 2019

SIAMS – Good with areas of Excellence

“This is a good church school with some features that show excellent practice. The care given to the development and recent revision of its distinctive Christian vision, which is based on love, reflects both the passionate leadership of the headteacher and the driving force of governors. ”

School Creed

"This is our school,
Let peace dwell here
Let the rooms be full of contentment,
Let love abide here,
Love of mankind,
Love of life itself,
And love of God,
Let us remember
That as many hands build a house,
So many hearts made a school"

School Vision

Love life, God, each other.
With Love, I can and I will.
Together we will succeed
Live courageously
Learn everyday

John 15:12 This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you
