Throughout October, we will celebrate Black History Month by exploring the rich achievements, cultures, and contributions of Black individuals throughout history. From discovering pioneering scientists and historical leaders to celebrating modern change makers, pupils will engage in age-appropriate discussions and collaborative activities designed to foster inclusion, empathy, and a deeper appreciation of shared global history.

This month, our school community is focusing on Diligence—the power of steady effort, perseverance, and taking genuine pride in everything we do. We are helping pupils understand that true success comes from working hard, staying focused, and refusing to give up when things get tricky.

The value of the month for May is Wisdom – using what we have learnt to make good choices.

This month, we are focusing on the value of Thankfulness. In the rush of lessons and play, it is important to pause and appreciate the people, opportunities, and small moments that make our school a special place to grow.

Being thankful isn’t just about manners; it’s about a positive mindset. When we notice the good around us, we feel happier and help those around us feel valued too.
