Newsletters
Read below a sample of our 2026 April Term school newsletters:
Spirit of the Banda – Week 01
Welcome back to the third and final term of the academic year!
As I mentioned in my end of term letter, we are launching a monthly Coffee by the Car Park event; an opportunity for parents to chat with the Senior Leadership Team, as well as other staff, at the beginning of the school day. The first one is this coming Tuesday and will be located in the Pegasus garden. Parents from all year groups in the school are most welcome to attend.
A new addition to this newsletter this term will be The Wellbeing Wall, a regular page that details relevant details and events connected to the pupils’ pastoral care and wellbeing. Please do look out for it in the coming weeks.
Spirit of the Banda – Week 02
As we reach the end of Week 2 (admittedly a second four day week!), term is properly up and running with our first round of netball and rugby matches having taken place against Cavina. In addition, Rising Stars parents enjoyed a ‘Play and Stay’ morning and our Year 6s braved the elements during a three day team-building and challenge trip to Kembu.
Our first silverware of the term also arrived, courtesy of our Under 9 chess team who triumphed at last weekend’s IAPS tournament. Our Under 11 and Under 13 teams also performed admirably to leave us in second place overall, a mere single point short of retaining the trophy for the fourth consecutive year.
