Our Alphabet for Humanity word of the week has been ‘bravery’, which dove-tailed well with our value of Courage. There were many hands up in our Infants Assembly today with practical examples.

At our assemblies this week there have been some wonderful examples from our students of how they have gone ‘that last inch’. The examples were all about personal bests; PBs.
