Headteacher
A warm welcome to our Year 7
parents, as we enter the half term
holidays I do hope your children
have felt settled joining our La Mare
community.
The autumn term is always one of
our busiest with new activities, new
teachers and students, we have had
a fantastic opening to the academic
year and have great hopes for the
rest of the academic year.
Congratulations to those students
and staff who participated in the
Swimarathon. We again had great
representation from the school and
have fundraised over £700.
We had a fabulous evening
welcoming Year 6 parents - my
thanks to all students, staff and
our PTA. It was a terrific evening in
the hall and around the school. It
is always a delight to welcome new
families and we look forward to
working with them over the course
of the year.
A massive thank you to our
amazing Prefects Ben Martel and
Kyion Sharp and to our dedicated
ambassadors Cadance Hunnisett
and Jake Whitwam. You have
turned up when you were needed,
you have helped out beyond what is
expected and you have supported
the Maths team throughout this
half term. I look forward to another
industrious half term working with
you all.
Well done to the Year 7’s for their
enthusiasm and participation in
their first Maths House Competition
this half term. The event included
all Year 7, in teams of 5, battling
against the other Houses, in 3
rounds of gruelling Maths tasks. The
Hall was a buzz of activity and it was
wonderful to see so many students
enjoying the competition.
