The last day of term has arrived. Can I wish all professional educators a happy Christmas and a relaxing break from school life.

Good luck to all of those collecting their GCSE results today. I hope you get what you want and deserve for your hard work. If not there are plenty of other opportunities open to you these days.

Good luck to all of those picking up their A level results today.

Congratulations to all of those involved in the Initio Middle Schools Music Concert. Great to see our local schools get together for such a fantastic event. All of the pupils were brilliant.

Happy half term holiday to those in education. It is always nice to have a brief pause in proceedings.

We are looking forward to welcoming everyone to our Open Evening on Thursday 3rd October between 5.30pm and 7.30pm. There will be Headteacher presentations at 5.35pm and 6.35pm, as well as an opportunity to book a tour during the normal school day.

Wishing all those collecting their A level results today the very best.

We are delighted to share the news that we been awarded the Silver Rights Respecting School Award by Unicef. Our assessor reported that, "rights are embedded at AMS" and children reported that, "there are strong relationships between children and adults in our school".

Wishing the best to all of those who are taking part in Transfer Day. It is always special to get your new class together for the first time.

Well done to @EmmanuelMiddle for organising a dress as your dream job day. My youngest daughter wanted to go as a teacher. @ProutSuzanne take note of her reading material!

@ProutSuzanne @tes Thanks Suzie. Glad I took that Google AI Essentials course last summer now.

Congratulations to all involved from @EmmanuelMiddle and Verwood First School on their opening night of Musicals Through The Ages. It was wonderful to see so many young people given the opportunity to perform including my very own daughter.

This event was a great experience for our pupils. Thank you @CorfeHills for inviting us and providing so much inspiration for their future.

Just a reminder that parents and carers have until Monday 15th January to apply for a Year 5 place at Allenbourn for September 2024. Here is a message from our Senior Pupils, Madi and Elliott.
