Wow! Our staff team have been busy this year and have had some major successes!

Well done all!

60x hot & sweaty 11yr olds well tired after 2 hrs of Dancing & singing! They were an absolute delight Buckingham Park Church of England Primary School! Great work parents & teachers! 👌

What a week! Every class from Nursery up to Year 6 has had lots of sport experience, talks from specialists and healthy snack making activities. We will post more pictures next week with our thank you messaged to all who helped make this week a huge success!

Sport and Science Week continues! All pupils are taking part in creating a healthy snack this week. The pupils in Year 4 have been making fruit kebabs. Yummy!

We were delighted to open our 'Sport and Science Week' by hosting Rochelle 'Rocky' Clarke. Rocky delivered a very inspirational talk to our pupils this morning.

Rocky is a very celebrated and decorated Rugby Player who is the second most capped rugby player in England of all time! She represented England at the 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup tournaments.

Rocky was also appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2015 New Year Honours for services to rugby.

Such an inspiration!
Stay tuned for more updates about exciting events taking place at Buckingham Park Church of England Primary School this week!

Dear Parents, Carers, Staff and the community,

I wanted to write today to express my gratitude and thankfulness for the huge upwelling of generosity, goodwill and community spirit that the Buckingham Park Christmas Angels Appeal has generated.

It was only a few weeks ago that a conversation between myself, Mrs Whytewood and a set of parents created the idea here and we had no idea how big this would be in its first year and how much help and support we would be able to generate. Today, we have taken donation of enough brand new, high quality and personalised gifts to support 45 children whose families will be helped over the Christmas period. This is over 1 in every 10 children in our school. Due to the huge generosity of the wider community, we will be able to provide not only gifts, but supermarket vouchers to support Christmas meals and Christmas chocolate, thanks to the kind donation from Budgens. This totals nearly £2000 which, with the financial situations that most families find themselves in at the moment, is nothing short of a Christmas miracle!

I have been quite overwhelmed this morning at the absolute unwavering willingness of so many of you to help the appeal, but also to offer time, other gifts and donations. Our School vision is in two parts, the strapline 'Excellence, through God who strengthens us' and the full vision: We aim to provide the highest quality all round education, for each and every child, in partnership with parents, within the context of a Christian community. This generosity for me shows that this vision as a school we promote is working, and beyond the borders of just our children. This has demonstrated real 'excellence' and has been done in partnership with you as parents and as an act of real community spirit.

I have attached a picture of just one of the 45 donations we will be making today to show you a glimpse of what our families today will be receiving.

We can't wait to hand these out this evening and we hope that this is something we can do year on year and hopefully, will be able to reach and support even more families next year!

Dan
