Last Friday, I returned to my days as Deputy Head and Leo Valaoritis stepped into the role as Head of School for a Day. We all agree he did a great job and certainly had his work cut out for him for the day at 7E96! Looking smart, he greeted the children as they arrived…

Over the last year, we have not been able to access the full range of activities and trips we customarily include in our weekly and termly schedules from Nursery to Grade 3. However, we have certainly…
