This academic year we welcome lots of new children. We have the new regiment to Kendrew Barracks - 1 Royal Anglian 'The Vikings'. They join our regiment already with us - 2 Royal Anglian 'The Poachers'.

With the huge support from The Armed Forces Covenant we are undertaking a large scale project. This will bring our two teams together and support our children as they transition into Rutland and begin to realise their futures. We plan to create calming spaces to provide the very best learning environments and work alongside professionals to best support our children.

As always we aim to be EPIC - Thinking about our learning, Believing in ourselves, Dreaming big and daring to be the best we can be. This will only happen once we have taught the children to be more collaborative, resilient, independent, reflective and curious.

All this can only be realised with the teamwork in school and surrounding us - the children and their families, the amazing staff, the Rutland learning Trust, the regiments and welfare teams and the Armed Forces Covenant!
