We have had a busy and exciting Spring term to date. Our highlight has been participation in the Rock Challenge at St Alban’s Arena in which over 50 of our children devised and performed an exciting presentation on global warming. Our theme was “A Period of Consequences” – a poem written by one of our pupils, Jack Allum-Gruselle. The children acted, sang and danced, as well as organising their own choreography and lighting. They put on a fantastic show and received a total of five awards for Best Video Performance, Best Costume Design, Best Set Design and Staging, Best Stage Crew and the award for School Community Support. Well done and thank you to all  the children and staff who worked so hard to achieve this amazing success.
We have been re-accredited with Healthy School status and have also achieved the Active Mark for outstanding commitment to PE. Our football, netball and cross country teams have done us proud in various inter-school competitions and many children take part in our after school sports clubs including tag rugby, basketball, street dance and gymnastics.
We now welcome Revd. Jim Stephens into school every Monday. He has been leading assemblies on the subject of the life of Jesus. We also welcomed Revd Jim Edie into school to receive money we raised for an orphanage in Russia. We have also just embarked on a new recycling scheme as part of the paper trail project at Apsley.
At the end of this term our deputy head, Katrina Mildner, leaves to take up the headship of a school in Harrow. We thank her for her hard work in the past five years. Caroline Moore who has been on the staff for 10 years will take up the post of deputy head after the Easter break.
