St Andrew'sCE Primary School

Our children have been busy adding prayers to our prayer tree. Here are some of our favourites from the last few weeks #LoveLedLegends #MakeADifference

Since Year 1 have returned from half term, they've been busy trying to figure out who might have huffed and puffed and blown their houses down. Thankfully, their hard work has paid off, and the culprit is now cooling his furry heels in Fairy Tale Prison #CaseClosed #LoveLedLegends #MakeADifference

This Friday (13th) is Children in Need Day. Our children can wear non-school uniform, and we're inviting small donations for Children in Need #LoveLedLegends #MakeADifference

Today we marked Remembrance Day. While our younger children marked the two minutes silence in the hall, Years 5 and 6 walked to St Andrew's Church and made us extremely proud with their respectful conduct during the service. It's so important to remember the courage of those who have served in conflict, and God's promise of peace #LoveLedLegends #MakeADifference

Our fourth new value is courage. We know that we all need courage live out the other new school values. It takes courage to be honest, courage to show grace, and courage to have aspirations for ourselves and for others. Courage is being brave enough to try new things, face challenges and do the right thing. We show courage when we: 💙try new things 💙don't give up 💙stand up for what is right #MakeADifference #LoveLedLegends

Our third new school value is Grace. It includes a number of other values that were particularly popular during the voting process, including kindness, compassion and forgiveness. Grace is being kind, caring and giving others another chance. We show grace when we: 💙Are kind to everyone 💙Care about how others feel 💙Give others another chance #MakeADifference #LoveLedLegends

Honesty was one of the highest-rated values amongst staff, children and families so we've chosen as our second new school value. Honesty means telling the truth even when it feels difficult to do this. We show honesty when we: 💙Tell the truth 💙Say what really happened 💙Admit our mistakes #MakeADifference #LoveLedLegends

We are delighted to announce that Aspiration was the top choice in all groups. It's our first new school value. Aspiration means having big dreams, believing in ourselves and working hard to be the best that we can be. We show aspiration when we: 💙Dream big 💙Believe in ourselves 💙Work hard to achieve our goals #MakeADifference #LoveLedLegends

Our children were very excited to each receive a recipe book from Local Food Links this week. We can't wait to hear about the tasty dishes they cook up at home #MakeADifference #LoveLedLegends

Amelie showed us what being love-led looks like during worship. When she spotted a younger child having a tricky time, she made a special effort to be a good role model, showing her and her classmates how to sit and listen beautifully. A lovely example of looking out for others and leading by example! #MakeADifferenceMoments #LoveLedLegends

Octopus Class were a little startled to learn that while they'd been on half term, PIRATES had broken into their classroom and turned it upside down. Luckily the whole thing was caught on CCTV! We wonder what they were doing in our school! Luckily, Reception had the room tidied up in no time and now they're on the case! We know they'll solve this mystery! #MakeADifference #LoveLedLegends

We're delighted to share our new school values: aspiration, honesty, grace and courage. Thank you to everyone who helped us to make this big decision for our school! We'll share more about each of our new values over the coming days. #MakeADifference #LoveLedLegends

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the big day! We can't wait to meet lots of potential new members of Team St Andrew's! #MakeADifference #LoveLedLegends
