The past half term has been hard with COVID and new regulations but every moment longer I spend at CF the prouder I am of the whole school community for their resilience and their good humour. Tomorrow sees the funeral of our friend, colleague and teacher Laura Cook who was

I’ve been a successful teacher and school leader for many years. I get things wrong all the time. That’s ok and no big deal. As long as I keep learning.

Great visits @HighNewsome and @HillViewAcadem1 yesterday. So much positivity and amazing relationships in and outside of the classroom. It was wonderful to meet Myla as well. Our latest therapy dog @HighNewsome. @ImpactMAT - where hearts and minds connect.

We've had some very sad news this week about one of colleagues whom we are all thinking about daily. Yesterday we decided to do a Bun Sale for Kirkwood Hospice partly because of her but also to join in with their Big Get Together which fitted so well into our whole school Unity

Well done to Harriet for being our representative in Highlights assembly, she read part of her excellent diary entry. Also well done to Olivia, who received a lovely hot chocolate. She is a super star and has been working hard this week!

Thanks for getting in touch! That’s so nice to hear. I’m really glad you’ve been able to build such a full scheme of work around themes within the book.
