🏰 What a wonderful day of inflatable fun across the school! 🥳

Every year, our fantastic PTFA organises inflatables for the children to enjoy as the academic year draws to a close, and this year has been no exception!

The children have had an incredible time bouncing, climbing and laughing with their friends.

A huge thank you to our amazing PTFA and all the volunteers who helped make today possible. 👏💛 Your continued support means so much to our school community.

What a brilliant way to celebrate another successful school year! 🌟🎊

🎨Celebrating Creativity! 🌟

We hope you enjoyed visiting the pupil art exhibition at the PTFA Summer Event last week.

Over the past few weeks, the pupils have been working hard to create their final pieces for our summer exhibition. From dinosaurs and coral reefs in Early Years and Key Stage 1 to Roman ruins and Pop Art in Key Stage 2, their creativity, imagination, and dedication have truly shone through.

We are incredibly proud of all the pupils for their hard work, effort, and achievements. Their artwork reflects not only their artistic skills but also the enthusiasm and care they have shown throughout the creative process. 👏💛

School Council & PTFA Colour Run 2026! 🌈🏃

What an incredible event once again this year! Despite being postponed by a week due to the recent heatwave, the Colour Run was just as successful and enjoyed by everyone who took part.

Over 80 children completed the course, raising an amazing £2,000 for the school. Every penny raised will go back into supporting school resources, activities and experiences for pupils.

A huge thank you to our wonderful PTFA for all of their hard work in organising the event, and to our fantastic families for your continued generosity and support. Events like this simply wouldn't be possible without you.

Well done to everyone who took part – what a colourful way to celebrate another successful year!

We were delighted to welcome Mr Barnes into Wrens Class to share all about life in Australia. After spending this term learning about Australia in our Geography lessons, the children had so many thoughtful questions to ask and loved hearing about Australian wildlife, the weather, culture and everyday life.

A real highlight of the visit was listening to Mr Barnes play the didgeridoo. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to experience a traditional Australian instrument and bring their learning to life.

A big thank you to Mr Barnes for taking the time to visit us and inspire our young geographers! 🌏🦘
