    Value added is the name of the game: most enter the nursery at national standard, but by year 6 the vast majority are well beyond it, with many of them significantly above.

    Our Trinity Term started with an insightful assembly led by our Sixth form friends talking about positive relationships.

They spoke about personal space and taught the children about the importance of consent when engaging with each other using a very memorable acronym, ASK.

A great way to reconnect and start a new term.
