We have come to the end of a long term and I am sure that the whole school community is looking forward to a well earned rest. I certainly am after spending the night in the pony’s stable, thanks to those naughty elves! !
Hopefully you’ve been able to follow the elves antics on facebook with your children-We have certainly had some fun this week!
The prospect of Christmas cheers us and lifts our spirits away from the cold, dark and depressing weather of the season. As Christmas draws closer, it is inevitable that our minds start, albeit briefly, to drift away from the hard work of our day-to-day school business, to the festive period itself. Let us remind ourselves, that this is one time of year when it is commonplace to find the spirit of human kindness alive and well. Let us embrace this by ensuring that we enjoy ourselves safely but also take time to look out for those nearest and dearest to us and those less fortunate than ourselves.
Certainly we have lots to smile about with the achievements of 2017 and it is a year we can look back on with a great deal of pride. We couldn’t be happier or prouder with the way that every member of this community continues to support and embrace The Learning Federation. It just goes to show 'If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.' Our improving SATs result and the development of the farm, which will provide a totally different, exciting learning environment for our children, are just 2 examples of the way Mead is moving forward.
I could not be more excited about what’s in store for next year, and for the opportunity to work with pupils, staff and parents in 2018.
