End of Term and Still Singing and Smiling

We are now half way through our first year of operation - who would believe it! With all the Official Celebrations early in the term and then getting into "business as usual" which included the full cycle of teaching, assessment and reporting and a visit by ERO, this term has seemed quite long and teachers are tired and looking forward to a break over the holidays.

But in spite of our current state of tiredness, we remain very excited about the future. Teachers are still smiling (see photos below). Students are still smiling and singing (see below).

Thanks to our wonderful children who make teaching at Amesbury School such a joy every day. Thanks to many parents (and members of the wider community) who have supported us in so many ways - praise and encouragement, offers of help, always welcome food, friendship and fun. I want to thank our wonderful staff who are passionate about the teaching and learning of students and who are always looking for ways to do it better. Thanks also to a great Board of Trustees (both outgoing and incoming, and those who have stayed put) for all the ways you support and encourage us at Amesbury School.

I hope everyone finds a way to thoroughly enjoy the holidays. Travel safe and we will see you all back for an exciting Term 3.
