Message From Mr Foster

Dear Parents/Carers

This has been a packed half term, with lots of exciting learning opportunities, ‘Maths Matters’ sessions and the first four apprentice tasks.

Our remaining 16 apprentices put on a superb ‘Movie Night’ yesterday for 300 pupils and parents. What a wonderful thing this is – pupils creating fabulous and fun opportunities for each other!

Our brilliant ASF do similar work at lunchtimes, setting up sports activities for younger pupils.

This shows both great leadership skills and also a desire to work for others in the community. Everything you would want from an Abbey pupil in fact!

Tim Foster (Headteacher)

What I’m Reading

Dear Pupils, Parents, Staff and Governors 

I am currently reading ‘Water for Elephants’ by Sara Gruen. This novel is gripping and full of the fun and terror of the circus in America’s Depression era. The story may sound a little clichéd: a boy stealing the girl away from her evil husband, but it’s the background which makes it so much more than that – there is constant underlying threat and suspense. 

Why not leave a comment and share what you are reading? Tell us why you love the book!

The best comment next week will receive a £10 book token to be awarded in Friday’s assemblies.

For pupils and parents please leave yours/child’s first name and class in the comment.

Enjoy your reading! 

Mr Foster – Headteacher
