A Fond Farewell to Mrs. Malaspina

Today we say goodbye to a truly cherished member of our school community, Mrs. Malaspina, as she begins her well-deserved retirement. After over 25 years of dedicated service at Bexton, she has made the difficult decision to retire slightly earlier than planned following a recent illness.

Mrs. Malaspina has been a constant source of warmth, wisdom and care to generations of children, families and staff. Her commitment to the wellbeing and development of every child she has worked with has left a lasting impact on our school and her presence will be deeply missed by all who have had the pleasure of working alongside her.

Although she is stepping back from her role, we’re delighted that she hopes to return for visits - Bexton will always be her home. The Year 5 children were able to say a special goodbye in their assembly today and we know the whole school joins in sending her our heartfelt thanks and very best wishes.

Enjoy every moment of your retirement, Mrs. Malaspina - you leave behind a wonderful legacy.

Outstanding Payments

School Grounds

Please ensure that children are supervised at all times while on the school premises, including during drop-off and pick-up times. We kindly ask that children stay within designated areas and avoid spaces such as the wildflower garden, which contains prickly plants like stinging nettles. Thank you for your support.

Year 4 Cheshire Show

We had a wonderful time last week at The Cheshire Show, the children loved seeing all the animals and had lots of fun learning about farming and the countryside.

Year 6 Change Grow Live Workshop

Recently, Year 6 had the exciting opportunity to learn about the effects of alcohol and drugs on the human body through an engaging visit from Change Grow Live. The children participated in a series of interactive activities including a game of hopscotch while wearing goggles that impaired their sight. Additionally, examining an unhealthy liver proved to be a real eye-opener, leaving the pupils with a deeper understanding of the importance of making informed choices regarding alcohol.

Year 2 Butterflies

Year 2 released their butterflies in the Bexton Garden this week! The children have enjoyed observing them from caterpillar to chrysalis and finally butterflies as part of their science lessons this half term 🦋

Have you ever been lucky enough to spot bats in your garden at night? Their swift, graceful movements make them hard to see as night falls, but their aerial acrobatics are well worth watching. Click on the link to learn more about this species https://www.bats.org.uk
