Head of School's Message
Dear Parents and Carers,
​
We wanted to let you know that, if you completed the application form, you should have received the library cards from Oxhey Library, who visited the school this week.
The children had a delightful time during the visits from Steve and Mattie, who shared stories, rhymes, and poems with children in Willow and Nursery.
Parents who completed the application form should also have received a special certificate to mark the start of their child’s library journey.
The children also discovered what their local library offers, including a variety of exciting clubs available during the holidays.
We hope you take advantage of this wonderful, free public service and enjoy visiting the library with your child. It's a fantastic way to nurture their love for learning and exploration.

Success Story of the Week!
Another fantastic week working with Electric Umbrella.
Electric Umbrella are an organisation who harness the power of music to challenge perceptions, breaking down barriers, and redefining societal norms.
They endeavour to create truly inclusive society – one where everyone, regardless of ability, is seen, heard, and celebrated.
We are proud to be working with this community and inviting these performers into our setting to celebrate the joy of music together.
