    Throughout the year, we explore our core values, which are: Hope, Trust, Courage & Perseverance, Respect, Cooperation, Responsibility, Kindness & Friendship, Honesty, Peace and Understanding. We do this during our daily assemblies and look out for them throughout the school, earning Values Vouchers and Beads as we go.

    In July, we focus on all the values together.

      Year 5 and 6 were on their annual hike up to Hergest Ridge on Friday, brilliantly again led by Tony and Keith, so we've included some photos of the keen walkers up on the windy top along side our worthy Headteacher Sticker winners. Lots of lovely reasons, ranging from being able to work more independently to being a good role model to others. One of our children won two - one because they have shown a really positive attitude to their learning and because Mr Haines also chose them for supporting new members of the class in PE! Well done to everyone.  

      We'd also like to extend a very big thank you to Ann, Eileen and Philip who welcomed us to St Mary's Church on Tuesday so we could share our Harvest songs and poems. We were able to pass on lots of tins and packets to the Kington Food Bank too so our thanks go out to you all!

      Congratulations to our very proud Headteacher Sticker winners today!  It has been a very busy week for the Kindness and Friendship vouchers too as the children have been spotting each other showing the values and nominating their peers to come and collect a bead. The House Captains will be counting them up next week and sharing the results with the school before we move on to our new value for October which is 'Honesty'.

      We also have our first picture of most of our new Sports Captains from across the school who have been presented with their badges in assembly today.  They will be meeting soon with Mrs A Welson to look at some breaktime activities and competitions they can run.

      We had a very busy Friday assembly today! First we have our Headteacher Sticker winners who have all showed wonderful kindness and friendship throughout the week. The words 'role-model' was mentioned so many times as our teachers shared their choices today and the children were very proud of themselves.  The Values Beads are mounting up too and it's so lovely to hear all the reasons they are being awarded every day.

      Thank you to our new librarian team from Year 4 who have volunteered to look after the library every day. It's a wonderful space in the school and we look forward to seeing you in your new roles.

      Our new House Captains (voted for by the whole school last week after Year 6 made some very impressive speeches) had their first assembly in role today so, after some training, they presented the house point badges for their house. It's a nerve-wracking time but they were brilliant!  They have also launched a new inter-house competition where every child from Year 1 up to Year 6 can make their own instrument at home or in school and then can join their house team in an orchestra - led by our new House Captains of course.  An exciting competition to start the year with and we can't wait to hear their compositions.

      Have a great weekend everyone.

      What a fantastic start to the new school year!  All our children have come in and settled really well, despite the heat. Thank you for sending them in with sun hats and water bottles so they can keep hydrated and play safely in the sun.

      Our first Headteacher's Sticker assembly celebrated lots of children showing our kindness and friendship values as well as listening hard and giving thoughtful answers in discussions.  We have also introduced our new 'Values Vouchers' for spotting our values in action, which some children have earnt and added a bead to the Values Jar.  We will count these up at the end of each month and see which House Team is demonstrating the values the best! Well done everyone and have a wonderful weekend. If you are planning to visit the Kington Show tomorrow, please come and find our area, say hello and enjoy some crafts.
