At the end of another busy year, there is much to include in the ‘Little Alleynian’ magazine. ‘Free Learning’ has been a focus across the whole College, but nowhere is it more important than at DUCKS, where our curriculum is carefully planned to encourage problem-solving, team work and active learning on a daily basis. Our children are encouraged to take risks in the classroom, the playground, the orchard and on the sports field. They are encouraged to strive for their best in each challenge they undertake. Throughout the year, the children have supported charities and each other. We have seen academic excellence and exceptional progress, but more importantly, we have seen children look after each other and work together. Our Little Alleynians know that at DUCKS we value kindness above all else and it is for this reason the friendships made here will remain long after our Year 2 children leave. I hope this edition of the Little Alleynian will convey the highlights of a very happy year at school. Nicky Black Head of DUCKS It is my great pleasure to share with you the second ‘Little Alleynian’ magazine, showing just snippets of a year in the life of the youngest, and possibly most active, members of the College.
