Junior Reflections Week 29 May 2025
Dear parents,
I hope that you all had a good long weekend; it was lovely to have an extra day to spend with friends and family. I am delighted to be able to share with you that Mr Evans and his wife have welcomed baby Edith (Edie) to their family, a little sister for Olive. Mum and baby are doing well, and I know Mr Evans is excited to bring Edie to school once they are all settled.
Sports fixtures
Cricket season has got off to a super start and it was lovely to get out and about and watch our U11 and U10 pupils playing cricket on Wednesday against Blundell’s. There were some very close scores, and I am very much looking forward to more matches in the sun.
VE Day
In our Lower and Upper School assemblies, we remembered the 80th anniversary of VE Day. We reflected on the significance of Victory in Europe Day, honouring the sacrifices made by those who fought for peace during World War II and we paid tribute to the bravery and resilience of the people who lived through those challenging times. It was a poignant reminder of the importance of unity and the enduring value of peace.
Open evening
Thursday evening saw the school buzzing with prospective parents and their families for our summer open evening. It was a wonderful event with the school looking outstanding. As always, our tour guides sold the school and were so enthusiastic to share their experiences of their time at the junior school. They really are such a good advert for the school and I had so many compliments when the tours finished! Thank you for allowing your children to help with these events. It wouldn’t work without them and they really are a credit to you and the school.
Devon County Show
Next week we have a stall at the Devon County Show; if you are visiting please do pop over and say hello – we’ll be at stand 29, Avenue A. I will be there on the Saturday and we would love to see you.
Enjoy the sun this weekend.
