What an exciting day I’ve just had at Tewkesbury Primary! At the end of today’s visit, it was an absolute honour and a privilege to officially re-open their library.

Sharpness Primary is only a small school — with just over 100 pupils in total — but the children and staff there have huge hearts, and welcomed me into their cosy community with open arms during today’s visit.

I kicked this week’s school visits off with a day at St Matthew’s Primary School in Stroud. Which — it has to be said — is so utterly marvellous that I didn’t ever want to leave!

With 44 school visits now under my belt, today’s visit to Rosary Catholic Primary was the perfect way to end the week! Their lovely welcome mosaic is displayed in this image, and I felt so welcome.

The pupils at Ledbury Primary were so lively during today’s visit that they wore me out! But as well as having limitless energy, they also have fantastic imaginations that know no bounds.

Today’s visit, to the John Moore Primary School in Tewkesbury, was rather topsy-turvy. Instead of starting the day with a whole-school assembly, I was straight into workshops — with my assembly not taking place until last thing.

Today’s visit was to Rendcomb College Junior School in Cirencester. The laid-back atmosphere at this school was apparent from the moment I arrived, with my assembly being met with a great deal of merriment and excitable chatter.
