Thank you to Archie’s Daddy, an ENT Consultant who gave his time to talk to Reception about how he helps people get better. The children learned all about how the ear worked and got to practise putting bandages on each other, just like they do after having an operation!

Against a stunning Worcester Cathedral backdrop, this evening pupils from Year 3 to Year 6 led the King's St Alban's Carol Service. A magical occasion with beautiful singing voices and clearly executed readings and prayers.
We would like to wish all of our Mothers a very Happy Mothering Sunday. We hope you that you are spoilt on this special day. Reception would like to sing a Mothering Sunday version of Frère Jaques.
