@abbey_academy Ah running club! Abacus children miss Mr P’s running club! Wonder who will take up the challenge @AbacusBelsize now?!

Each of our 16 schools is different, and that’s important to us. They retain their individuality, while benefiting from working in partnership with other members of the Anthem family. https://t.co/oZl8zgioQq #anthemschools

@abbey_academy What a great idea, we might have to use this too at @AbacusBelsize !

Our last assembly was 20th March 2020. At this time, some of us left in 😢. Today, 532 days later, we celebrated children who went above & beyond this week, congratulated 5 year 3 published authors & welcomed 10 new reception starters.
💙May this be the first of many gatherings💙

[Vicki Briody @VBriody_Head]

@AbacusBelsize Huge thank you for creating life long memories for our children. I certainly have a tired young lady who wants to do it all again next week! 🤣😜

Today is #ThankATeacherDay

It's difficult to put into words just how hard the whole A-team have worked over the past year. Every member of staff have gone ABOVE and BEYOND and are worth their weight in gold.🥇
We are so lucky to have you all.

💙THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!💙

[Vicki Briody @VBriody_Head]

My school is full of them. Couldn’t do it without every single one!!

[Secret Headteacher @secretHT1]

Every staff team has an absolute hero on it. Most of the time they don’t recognise that it’s them.

Let them know!

[Abacus Belsize @AbacusBelsize]

Please make sure to visit @Dauntbooks Belsize Park for our book drive. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful bookshop in our community, helping us select titles they think the children will love.
Pop in and get a book for the children and maybe one for yourself too!

I went to get my vaccine today and the nurses referred to themselves as the Pfizer Chiefs - and THAT is why I support the NHS

[Vicki Briody @VBriody_Head]

@AbacusBelsize exactly why I do my job! #BlessedAndThankful #grateful

WHAT A FIRST DAY BACK! 💙

We were over the moon to welcome all of our Abacus family through the school gate this morning. The smiles, shrieks, laughter & enthusiasm are what make a school & we saw all of these in abundance today!

We love Abacus!

Thank YOU for everything you have done to support us and the school this lockdown. You're incredible!

[Vicki Briody @VBriody_Head]

Borrowed this idea from another Headteacher. Reminds me of a 90’s school tuck shop! But very happy to be working with a team who are so committed to making this hard time just that little bit easier. A team, grab some sugar and keep smiling!

Reception and year 1 have visited #yewtreefarmschool this week! Such a wonderful virtual trip, we really enjoyed learning about all the lovely animals.

Year 1 loved when the pygmy goats escaped today! They must be a handful!
