January 2026

Welcome back to our wonderful school in 2026. I hope you are all settling back in after the Winter break. Remember even if it is sunny, the weather is quite cold at the moment so wrap up well for school.

Value for January

Our value for our 1st month in the 2nd term of 2025/2026 is Happiness and Well-being. January brings it's own challenges as we transition back from winter break. It is the start of a new year and people often make New Year resolutions. It is the right time of year to focus on our well-being, both physical and mental. Mindfulness of ourselves and our family and friends is part of the value of Happiness and Well-being.
