    This week at Bentley...

    This week we spoke to classes about the war in Ukraine as many children had raised questions. We talk impartially and always try to reassure children about their own safety. We all operate differently as families, so some children have a lot of knowledge and others know very little. Part of our teac...

    I attended Yann’s final ‘Live at 5’ at St Mary’s last Sunday evening and he asked me to say a huge thank you to all the children, staff, governors and parents for the special cards, school video and messages to wish him and his family well as they move to their next adventure...

    Well, the Red Weather Warning was not what we all expected as staff left school last night! We are sorry to end the half term like that, but hope everyone stays safe and the storm passes today. It has been a very long wintery half term and I do know everyone was ready for a break after all the hard...

At each meeting we have, unsurprisingly, discussed the ongoing issues with Covid and the well-being of our pupils and staff teams. At Bentley, like all good schools, we are ve...

    I am pleased to say we seem to have moved past the peak of our Covid cases this week. That being said some people have experienced a range of symptoms and some adults do seem to have been more unwell. We send our love to those at home and hope to see you back at school soon when you are better.

    This week at Bentley...

    It has been a tricky week at school where we have had high staff and pupil absence due to Covid and other illnesses. To throw into the mix we had an unexplained fire alarm and the water was turned off. In a typical week these would have been the ‘big news’ but keeping school open and run...

    I personally find January a tough month with the post-Christmas blues, bills arriving and the grey days and dark nights. Illness and Covid worries seem so common at this time of year for many of us, and I sadly have a family funeral to attend today. I am also well aware of the current emotional load...

    It has been such a joy to see the Key Stage 1 Nativity this week. It was brilliant to be able to welcome parents and grandparents into school again and it felt extra special. There were many highlights for me and the singing and enthusiasm will stay with me for a very long time. Across the school, t...
