Head of Primary Message Week 30




Four Year Groups, One Stage 👏

A big thank you to everyone who was able to join us for the Year 1 to Year 4 Music Assemblies this morning. It was a real joy to see so many of you in the Theatre, and I know how much it meant to the children to have you there.


These kinds of events take a huge amount of planning and rehearsal, and the result this morning was something really special. The children sang with heart, energy and confidence, and it was lovely to see so many proud smiles, not just on stage but in the audience too.


Music plays such an important role in our Primary School. It’s not just about performing, it supports learning, builds confidence, and gives children another way to express themselves. It’s a big part of who we are, and mornings like this one remind us just how powerful it can be.


A special mention to Ms Sarah for the huge amount of work she puts in to make these opportunities happen for all our students.



Books, Authors and a Brilliant Week of Reading

This week has also been full of excitement and imagination as we celebrated Book Week across the school. From our themed dress-up day to the inspiring author visits, it was a great opportunity to shine a light on the love of reading that runs through every part of our school. The energy around the campus, from students reading in unusual places to lively discussions about favourite characters, has been fantastic to see.


Events like these build on the strong foundations of our wider reading programme at ISB. Reading is not just encouraged, it’s embedded into our daily routines, our curriculum, and our culture. We want every child to find joy in books and to grow as confident, capable readers.

Looking Ahead ⏩

As we head into the final few weeks of the school year, things are set to get even busier, with plenty of exciting events still to come. From sleepovers and swim galas to theatre productions, more music showcases and a full calendar of sporting events, there’s a lot to look forward to. These experiences are such a valuable part of school life, and we’re grateful, as always, for your continued support in helping make them a success.


If you have any questions about any aspect of school life, please do not hesitate to message in Seesaw.


Mr Michael Everett | Head of Primary
