As we reach the end of term, we want to take a moment to wish our students, parents, carers and our wider community a restful and enjoyable break. This time of year means different things to different people - whether you celebrate Christmas, another tradition, or simply enjoy some well-deserved downtime, we hope it brings you joy and peace. Thank you for your continued support throughout the year. Whatever your plans, take time to relax, recharge, and spend moments with those who matter most. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year, on the 5th of January 2026! #SeasonGreetings #HappyHolidays #Community #EnjoyTheBreak #GosforthGroup #CreatingFutures
