Happy Half Term everyone!
This half term is always long and cold and dark, but our schools are still shining lights of fun and engagement!
When we return, Spring will be just around the corner and sunnier days are ahead (or sunny day singular...this is England after all!)
Have a great break! We hope you enjoy our content over the next week where we will look back on a great term! 💙
