Well done to all the pupils who were awarded certificates this week. You have truly shown our school vision of Love, Grow and Flourish Together through your kindness, effort and determination. We are so proud of the way you strive to be the best you can be.

On Wednesday, Skylarks had a lovely morning at The Chantry. The children practised lots of different skills and thoroughly enjoyed the morning. 

Kestrels had another fantastic gymnastics session with Annie from Momentum Gymnastics today. The focus this week was on backward rolls. There were several different activity stations set up to help them develop and practice the skills and techniques required to perform these confidently and correctly.  The children had lots of fun, and it was amazing to see the progress they made throughout the lesson. 

Dear Parents and Carers,

Due to heavy snowfall, the school will be closed today. A governor and a staff member were on site this morning to assess the school grounds, nearby roads, and the village hall car park. With several cars abandoned on the roads into Abberley, the village hall car park unsafe to drive on, and the roads leading up to the school undriveable, the decision has been made to close the school.

This decision was not taken lightly and has been made with the support of the governors and other local schools.

We know this decision may not make all parents happy, but we’re fairly confident that 100% of the children will be delighted! Most importantly, the safety of our pupils, families, and staff must come first.

Thank you for your understanding. We appreciate your support and will keep you updated with any further information.

Warm regards,

Claire Shelley & Abberley Governor

On Monday, it was fantastic to hear our KS2 pupils showcasing the musical skills they have developed this term, whether on the flute, dood or ukulele. It was especially lovely to hear the doods producing such beautiful notes as the children mastered the technique of controlling their breath. A big well done to Mrs Mitchell for her dedication in teaching and inspiring such a variety of musical talents.

This year marks the first time that every child in KS2 has been given the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. The school hopes the experience will spark a lifelong interest in music and perhaps inspire the musicians of the future.

These pupils have received our Vision Certificate for living out “Love, Grow and Flourish Together.” They have demonstrated how everyone at Abberley works, learns, and grows together with kindness and care.
