She summarised her highlights of her visit:

 
  • Getting to know the children and the staff... lots of hugging and kissing, and practising saying my name, although one boy insisted on calling me Grandma  instead!
  • Assembly taken by Pastor Rodrigo.
  • Lovely school environment with interesting displays and information. 
  • Seeing lessons with the theme of Eric Carles’ The Hungry Caterpillar; exciting, interesting and engaging lessons.
  • Enthusiastic music lessons led by the leader of the Music Group from a local Baptist Church.
  • PE in the local park, about two minutes walk away from school... a large 
  • accessible green space and children sharing wheelchairs to get there.
  • Horse riding on Friday morning with added games and fun.
  • Parents Consultation morning with very appreciative parents and very well attended. Two days of In Service Training for Staff with much discussion and hard work and a desire to see how teaching and learning could be improved.
