Dear Parents,
We hope you are settling back into the final term of what has been a fantastic school year so far.
We are absolutely thrilled to share how proud we are of our incredible students following our recent BSO inspection. The inspectors consistently praised our children’s exemplary behaviour and outstanding manners throughout their visit. Their conduct truly reflected the values we hold dear at VHPS. A huge well done to all of our fantastic students!
We look forward to sharing the outcomes of the inspection in due course, once we receive the final report.
Here are a few friendly reminders for the weeks ahead:
