Welcome to this week’s newsletter!
Before we begin this week’s newsletter… a deeper moment, about a simple coat.
It might seem like a small thing — a black Berghaus jacket, clearly labelled, missing from the junior cloakroom. And yet, it matters. Not just because it belongs to one of our children — Anya — but because it reminds us how schools work best: when trust, honesty, and responsibility quietly knit us together.
We often say that what’s most important in a school can’t always be seen. Not the displays, or data, or even the lessons. But rather, the values lived out between people. The child who returns something that isn’t theirs. The parent who checks twice. The community that helps each other out — even in the smallest of things.
So please — as one last try before half term — check your children’s coats. Look for Anya’s name. And if you find the missing jacket, simply send it in. No fuss, no judgement — just a small act of kindness that says everything about who we are.
Thank you so much for your help — let’s try to get it back to Anya.
And now, this week’s news…
