• A card from the king!

  Fri 22 Dec 2023

  What a lovely way to end the term...

  Today in school we have received a card from the King thanking us for our good wishes. The children wrote to King Charles in the summer to celebrate the Coronation. It has been wonderful to receive a response from him this morning!

• Attendance is on the up!

  Fri 22 Dec 2023

  Attendance is on the up at Cape! We have given out over 180, 100% attendance awards for the Autumn term today. In addition, we have compared autumn 2022 attendance with autumn 2023 attendance and we are up almost 3%, 92.3% (2022) and 95.1% (2023). 
   

  This is brilliant! I have set the children the challenge to get even more awards in the Spring term with even more children coming to school every day!

• Santa's Special Visit

  Fri 15 Dec 2023

  Santa made a special visit to school yesterday for the Christmas Fayre. However, before the fayre he decided he wanted to say hello to all of the children in school and take them a special gift for being so great! He went to all of the glasses, with a big ho, ho, ho and the children were all really excited to meet him. The children all received a book by the author they have been studying in English either this term or next. It was a different book by the same author to broaden children's reading diet. Thank you Santa for making a special effort to find the right books!
