Welcome back to a brand-new school year! I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful summer break filled with special moments with your families. It has been truly lovely to welcome the children back to school this week and to see them settling so well into their new classes.

At Graffham, our new Reception children have had a fantastic start, with successful settling-in sessions that have helped them feel confident and happy. Over at Duncton, we are equally delighted to see our new pupils integrating beautifully into the school community.5 9 25
