Last week we had a special assembly from Tabitha from Investors in Children. The assembly was to raise awareness and understanding of autistic children and to celebrate our differences.  Tabitha showed two thought-provoking videos and the children asked some excellent, thoughtful questions.

We have recently said goodbye to two members of our staff, both of which will be greatly missed:

Heather, who has worked in our kitchen for a number of years. We’d like to say thank you to her for all her hard work and kindness and wish her a Happy Retirement.

We also said goodbye to Mr Blackett on Friday with a special assembly written by the children. He has given his heart and soul to looking after our school and it’s grounds and has been a huge part of the Cockfield family for many years. We’d like to say a big thank you to him and to wish him a Happy Retirement.
