A young teacher, Ugyen, dreams of moving to Australia, where he wants to make a living playing his guitar and singing. Instead, he finds himself posted to the remote village of Lunana, high up in the Himalayan glaciers. Leaving behind his modern life in Bhutan’s capital, he is initially perplexed by the customs of the isolated yak herding community he is sent to join, and disheartened by their lack of basic amenities such as electricity, paper or even a blackboard.

Hello everyone, Well a rather exciting Spring term for us here at Sheet with an Ofsted visit! You can find the details here. We are rightly very proud of our report. The report praises the school’s focus on personal development and behaviour and attitudes and has graded these two areas as ‘outstanding’, noting the staff’s dedication to ensuring the best for each and every child! We are thrilled to have received such positive feedback from Ofsted and are pleased that the aspects we value were noticed and noted in our report. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff, the support of our parents and governors, and the resilience and enthusiasm of our pupils. There have been visits to Windsor Castle for our Kingfisher Class (Year 1/2), The Living Rainforest for our Herons (Year 3/4) and to The Natural history Museum for Kestrels (Year 5/6). We have celebrated World Book Day, Pancake Day (you may have heard the cheers of support from the village on Shrove Tuesday), Engineering Day and Science week too! Alongside this our children have taken part in music day and art day at Bedales. It really is ‘all go’ at school these days! We’ll be back in July to share more stories and adventures. Until then, keep that Sheet spirit alive! Julie Robinson, Head
