We’re reaching out to our local community to see if anyone might be able to help us with moving one of our pianos from the small hall to the music room upstairs in the main building.
We are hoping a local moving company, business, or organisation might be willing to kindly donate some time and support. This doesn’t need to be a specialist piano removal service, just a team with suitable equipment and experience to help make the move safe and smooth.

If you’re able to help, or know someone who might be able to, we would be incredibly grateful to hear from you. Please contact our school office 01276 22447 for more information.

Run Frimley, a friendly community running event taking place
on Sunday 3rd May at Frimley Lodge Park.

To register and for more info also: https://www.frimleyhealthcharity.org/event/run-frimley-2026/

The funds raised from this event enables us to:

fund life-saving equipment, improve hospital spaces and
environments, support staff well-being and further enable
research and innovation, so we can make a real difference to our
patients and their loved ones, as well as our amazing NHS staff!

We are keen to encourage local schools to get involved as Run
Frimley is a great opportunity for children to:

Enjoy being active in a fun, supported environment
Build confidence and teamwork
Take part in a positive community event
Help raise funds for a local charity supporting your local NHS
hospitals
Participation can be tailored to suit all ages from the 10K and
5K for the parents and older siblings to the 1-mile colour
family fun run for pupils and their families, which has a strong
focus on fun and participation rather than competition with
powder paint, bubbles, obstacles and lots of fun along the way.

We also have a brilliant SCJ event village, filled with a variety of
stalls to browse, delicious caterers to enjoy and a children's
corner filled with fun for the little ones, as well as entertainment
for the whole family!

The beautiful Wisteria in full bloom in our friendship garden, is a reminder Summer is on it's way.

A gentle reminder to send the children into school with water bottles and sun caps please - thank you 💦🧢🌞

We are delighted to share this outcome of the recent Inspiring Future Teachers Ofsted inspection with a grading of 'Strong across the board'.
