We had an amazing response to our request
for members of the village community to come
forward to join the Governing Body, and we are
happy to be welcoming the new governors to
our school family. Thank you to everyone who
supported us with this – our school motto is
“Children at the heart of the School, the School
at the heart of the Village” and this support from
the community was the embodiment of this.
Sadly, we had to fell three trees in our
woodland that had become dangerous and were
at risk of falling. There’s always a silver lining
though, and Penn Tree Services were kind
enough to deliver a load of wood chips to use
alongside our own chippings to refurbish the
pathways in the woodland. Mr Webb (our new
caretaker) has been very busy creating trails for
the children to run around. This is a huge
improvement because the children were getting
extremely muddy in the Autumn Term.
The newly surfaced playground has had
brand new line markings added and now boasts
a five a side football pitch, hopscotch and a
circle for “duck duck goose” games. The
children are really enjoying making the most of
playtimes in the improved spaces as the weather
warms up.
We are hopeful that we will be able to have
some of our important events over the next term
– things like sports day or school productions,
but as ever we will find creative solutions if we
can’t go ahead - so that the children continue to
make great memories of their time with us.

We have had great fun this term with our
themes, including Zoo Animals, Insects (the
children loved the insects set in resin) and Pets
(a visit from Red, the Bearded Dragon was a
great hit with the children). This week is Fire
week and thanks to an amazing resource box
lent to us by Wycombe Fire Station, the children
have spent 2 weeks being firefighters). Next
week we have arranged for a visit from our
local Police Officer and a Police Car. We also

managed to have lots
of fun in the ice and snow as well as the huge
puddle that formed in our outside area!
We are delighted that our afternoon activities
have continued to run: Kiddleydivey, Dinky
Dancers and Playball have all been back with
us. Romar Sports will be back very soon and
