Y6 PGL residential trip to Winmarleigh.

The raft building, climbing, archery and giant swing look great fun! The weather hasn't dampened the mood at all as the children are having a great time and enjoying the trip to its fullest.

Exploring outdoors

We love to explore outdoors in Early Years! The children have enjoyed mixing together different ingredients and materials to create their own potions!

Good luck to Year 6!

We just want to wish all our Year 6 children and all those across the country taking their SATs all the very best! We know how hard you've all worked towards this week!
