Dear Parents and Carers, 

Eils led our collective worship this week. As we continued to think about spiritual flourishing, what it is and how  we can flourish ourselves, Eils shared the creation story from Genesis. We thought about how the Bible tells us that God  created the world and everything in it so it can flourish. With everything now starting to send up green shoots in the  parks and gardens, it really does feel as if spring may be on its way and the world around us starting to flourish after the  dark winter. 

Have a peaceful and enjoyable weekend, 

Best wishes, 

Mr George 

Trips, visits and events

Some tiny visitors 

Reception were joined by a few eggs at the start of the week that have hatched. It has brought great joy  to the whole school with many visitors from across the years popping down to say hello, give them a  gentle cuddle and ask inquisitive questions to help their learning and well-being.  

Year 4 Brass Performance 

Year 4 gave an amazing brass performance to their parents and carers this week. Over the past 8  weeks they have been receiving brass lessons from Richmond Music Trust through the Wider  Opportunities programme. We are incredibly proud of all they’ve achieved in such a short time! 

Comic Relief Day 

Get ready to roll out of bed and straight into school! We are inviting all students (and staff!) at HT to get cosy for a cause  as we support Comic Relief. 

When: Friday, 20th March 

What: Wear your appropriate PJs (or comfortable clothes – no football kits  

please), favourite slippers and bring a teddy!

Why: Comic Relief funds life-changing projects and organizations in the UK and across

Thank you for your incredible support and for helping us fill the school with laughter (and very comfy footwear)!
