World Teachers Day

8th Oct 2025

Although it was officially 5th October, today at school we celebrated the incredible dedication, passion, and impact of our amazing teachers. Their  unwavering commitment to nurturing young minds, inspiring curiosity, and shaping the future does not go unnoticed. Thank you to all of our teachers for being the guiding lights in our school community — your hard work and heart make all the difference! A special mention to Mrs Gibson who has been working in our school for 25 years when she took up her post on 1st September 2000 and a special presentation was made to mark this occasion.  

Another special shoutout and heartfelt thank you to our wonderful non-teaching staff who went above and beyond today by providing a delicious breakfast treat and leading a fantastic assembly. Your support, care, and contributions are the backbone of our school, and we are so grateful for everything you do behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly.

Together, you all make our school a place of learning, kindness, and community.
