Our Federation Value for Term 4 is Responsibility

Term 4 draws to a close, and we look forward to spending a well-earned Easter break with our families.  Term 4 has been fast-paced, and rewarding with all year groups working very hard.  We have seen a couple more class assemblies and have been very pleased to be able to celebrate together with parents, including: superstars, Celebration assembly, West Leigh's Spring Sing, The BJS Easter service at St Andrew's Church and our BJS Eggstravaganza Easter Festival!

We would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy Easter holiday, with maybe just a chocolate egg or two!

We look forward to welcoming all children back on Monday, 25 April.

Welcome to the last Federation Blog of 2021!

WOW!  We can hardly believe that we are storming in to the final week of Term 2.  The last 6 weeks have certainly flown by, and have been jam-packed with lots of exciting learning opportunities across our Federation.

The last week of term will be no different with lots of fun Christmas themed activities across both schools.  We are looking forward to celebrating Christmas at BJS with our Carol Service - Unfortunately, we are unable to invite parents to attend on this occasion.  We will be celebrating at both schools with Christmas dinner days at both schools and Christmas party day at West Leigh Infant School.

We hope that you enjoy reading about what we have been doing over the last couple of weeks.
