Recently KS2 took part in their final Interhouse Capture the Flag competition of the academic year!

It was a fantastic morning filled with excitement, teamwork, determination, resilience and outstanding sportsmanship. All pupils gave their very best and demonstrated the values that make our school community so special.

Congratulations to Wales, the winners in LKS2, and to England, the winners in UKS2!

A huge well done to all participants for their incredible effort, positive attitude and exemplary behaviour throughout the event. We are very proud of you all!

We are incredibly proud that, following the conclusion of the KS2 boys’ and girls’ football leagues, three of our four teams have been crowned champions in their respective competitions!
Our Year 3 & 4 girls’ team, Year 5 & 6 girls’ team, and Year 5 & 6 boys’ team all finished as league winners, while our Year 3 & 4 boys’ team achieved a fantastic second-place finish.
Beyond the results, what makes us most proud is the outstanding effort, teamwork, respect for opponents and exemplary sporting values shown by all our pupils throughout the season.
Well done to all our teams — you should be extremely proud of your achievements.

Recently Year 5 took a hike down into La Caldera de Bandama to explore its volcanic origins and unique wildlife! They got to see real-life examples of the flora and fauna they’ve been learning about, and even visited a historic homestead to see how a local resident used to live alongside his animals deep inside the crater.

Huge congratulations to Gabriel (Y13) on being awarded a Matrícula de Honor! 🎓 He is one of two students in Y13 to achieve a perfect 10/10 this year.

This top distinction was calculated directly from his A-levels and converted by UNED, proving how this pathway can be advantageous for entry into the Spanish university system.

We are incredibly proud of your hard work and brilliant results, Gabriel! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Día de Canarias 2026 🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨 We celebrated Canarian culture and traditions throughout Primary and in Secondary with Years, 7 8 and 9. Activities included traditional songs, games and literature. We were also visited by Pablo Sabalza, author of the book, “La Cometa de Miel”, who explained the creative process behind his work which took him on a tour of the eight Canary Islands. The day celebrated our Canarian culture and raised awareness of the literature and traditions we love. 🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨

Recently our friends from escuela infantil Garabato spent a fun packed morning with us in Oakley Park. Together we played parachute games, tried out the obstacle course and of course practiced our English speaking and listening! We had a great morning and are looking forward to your next visit! 🤗🌴🏀❤️

The Green Owls truly shone during their parent assembly! They confidently shared their favourite memories from their recent farm trip, speaking with fantastic English and enthusiasm throughout.
The children retold our class story about a very noisy farm and a dog called Sam, showing off their wonderful phonics and listening skills. To finish, parents and children came together for a magical shared singing session that was lots of fun.
We are so proud of you all — well done, Green Owls

Year 8 and 9 students had an amazing trip to the Alûa camp in Iznájar Córdoba.
Activities included paintball, climbing, canoeing, paddle boarding, archery, tree ropes, zip line and much more. It was non-stop fun from when they woke up to when they went to bed.
They visited local towns and Córdoba itself but the highlight was definitely all the fun activities they enjoyed with the wonderful camp staff.
Everyone returned tired but with amazing memories and stories of a very special trip.

🥇🥇🥇Many congratulations to Rafael from Y13 who has received the Cambridge International AS Chemistry award for the Top Achievement in Spain in 2025.
