Monty has demonstrated all the character virtues within the four months he has been in Reception. He is always respectful and courteous to the teachers and children in his class and the wider school. Monty has shown that he understands the importance of sharing, often giving up materials he was using to ensure that his peers have a chance to enjoy them too. Monty demonstrates neighbourliness as he is friendly and also a caring member of the class. During this term Monty has shown perseverance in difficult tasks. He has now become very confident creating and drawing. Monty’s infectious enthusiasm and personality has shown through in our recent nativity. What a great start to St Luke’s.   ​

Giraffes

Maya

During her first term in Reception, Maya has consistently shown a range of positive character virtues. She showed confidence within the first few weeks in Giraffe class when she not only had to personally embrace the new challenges of starting school but also helped her peers to do the same. Maya continues to show confidence when approaching new experiences and will always try her very best. Maya is extremely respectful of her peers and the choices they make. Maya listens attentively to others as they express their ideas, thoughts and feelings and always takes these into account. We are extremely proud of how hard Maya tries will all elements of school and how much progress she has made in such a short period of time.

Congratulations, Lola-Rose, we have been delighted to see your positive attitude and growing confidence this term.

Olly’s attitude and consistent drive has really impressed his teacher this term. He goes above and beyond at school and at home, and his passion and effort inspires his classmates. Olly takes on feedback happily, which has resulted in a considerable amount of progress already this year, particularly in his writing. Olly is respectful towards adults and property and is always first to offer help around the classroom and take on new responsibilities. Olly is confident about his enjoyment of learning and trying new things, and is always selecting difficult challenges for himself and showing resilience in order to reach his goals.

Year 5

Alice

Alice has exemplified our school virtues in many ways this term. She has shown confidence in her approach to all subjects, and real drive in achieving her best in them. She has matured a great deal in the short time that she has been in Year 5. She demonstrates this maturity through her respectful and considerate manner towards staff and peers alike. Alice consistently impresses in class with her level of engagement in her own learning, and she is a role model for the class in her ability to make connections between concepts.  Another area where Alice showed notable determination was in our cross country sessions. Alice took this on as a personal challenge and she has reaped the rewards of her dedication and perseverance. Well done Alice for an excellent term. 

Year 6

Caleb

From the moment Caleb set foot in Year 6, it was evident that he was ready to embrace fresh ideas and new learning experiences, and that calm, collected and quietly confident manner that he exudes has never wavered. It is clear that he holds a firm set of moral values close to his heart which is reflected in his written work and within discussions, where perceptive insights regarding the world around him convey great empathy. His determination to succeed, and search for a range of possibilities, is a driving force behind all outcomes. Furthermore, he is not afraid to question and challenge ideas – thus promoting independence of thought and action. I feel privileged to have witnessed his journey so far and eagerly await the next stage.
