The New Year will be well behind us by the time this goes to press, but 2008 will undoubtedly be a busy time for the school.

The improvements to the Early Years playground are now completed with a fantastic canopy for outside play opportunities having been erected. The whole structure is controlled by an anemometer which closes the canopy down should the weather become too windy. I have always believed that fresh air and the idea of exploring the environment is fundamental to development of the whole child and so I welcome this development of the curriculum for the younger children.

We are also pleased to announce that the school has been awarded the Active Mark for the continuing development of the PE curriculum. This means that we have met certain criteria as outlined by the governments’ healthy schools agenda. Well done to everyone who supports the school, promoting physical exercise as a healthy option.

So we hurtle headlong into the New Year not forgetting that whilst keeping physically fit is important, school also tries to develop all the other aspects of a well- rounded human being, not as easy to detect but equally as important.
