Christmas joy at the end of a busy term

Posted on: 12 Dec 2017 by Weston Green School

It has been a wonderfully busy, productive and happy term and, as Christmas draws near, we can reflect on so many good things: high-quality work as a result of inspirational teaching and exciting events which have helped to develop the children’s knowledge, risk-taking and confidence, all in a quite unique nurturing environment.

Each term, we devote several staff meetings to regularly reviewing the pastoral welfare and the academic progress of each child - this is what helps to keep each child moving forward so successfully on their own individual path. As parents, I suspect you will view your children much differently now from September, so far have they travelled. Certainly for me as Head, each individual child seem to have grown remarkably in many ways, blossoming wonderfully well in these last months and doing so ‘naturally’ and so often with a beaming smile – the result, I hope, of that attention to the well-being of each.

This week is ‘Christmas week’ for us here, with the Christmas Fair, Nativity plays, the Carol Service,  Christmas discos, jumper days, Christmas lunch and a final ‘sing-a-long’ with carols before heading to families for further times of joy at home. In this time of joy, it is such a good thing to stop for a moment and give thanks for all those blessings and accomplishments. As we do so, let us not forget God’s own son, the King of Kings, born in a humble stable who came to change the world and bring us that inner joy.

May you have a blessed Christmas.
