Welcome back and a Happy New Year to all our families.  It maybe a rather cold start to the term but we would like to warmly welcome all our children and families back for the Spring Term. We hope you had a restful and enjoyable break and are ready for an exciting term ahead.

We reflected on what great things we wanted to achieve in our learning and wider life as well as how we could provide for others like the tree did for the birds that nested in it's branches.  Most of the children wanted to do small acts of kindness and to make others happy, which is a great start to the year.

We are excited for 2026, where we will be sharing on our Instagram, all the brilliant things our children achieve. Every time someone in the school goes above and beyond in their work, living the values or generally wowing staff at school, we will capture this through our Watch us Grow celebration board.  We can't wait to show how your children are flourishing at Victoria.
