Orchard Community Primary School

We were delighted to take part in Trent College’s Year 5 Marvellous Maths Day. Pupils enthusiastically engaged with the activities and had a fantastic time exploring the fun side of mathematics.

We've only gone and won!!!! Huge congratulations to our Y6 squad for winning the county Netball tournament held at Loughborough Uni today.

We were exceptionally proud to organise a 'Colour Dash' to fundraise for Leicester Children's Holidays. The children had the best time!

Pupils in Class 2 have been exploring pattern and line in the environment as part of their unit on observational drawing. We think these sketches of local buildings are fantastic!

A huge well done to our Year 5/6 Cricket Team for an outstanding performance at last night's competition at Charnwood! The team showed fantastic teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the evening, earning a brilliant 3rd place finish against strong opposition. We are incredibly proud of the way they represented our school both on and off the field.

Every moment is a learning opportunity in EYFS! Our children are growing in confidence, independence, and curiosity through hands-on activities, exploration, and play-based experiences.

A wonderful day of learning and laughter in EYFS! Our children have been exploring, creating, and developing their confidence through play-based learning activities. Every day is full of exciting discoveries and happy smiles!

Muddy boots, happy faces, and lots of learning! On Monday at Forest School, the children enjoyed exploring the new pond area, working together, and discovering the wonders of the natural world. Outdoor learning encourages teamwork, creativity, and independence every step of the way.

What a fantastic job Simon Whittington and team have done! Huge thanks to our PTA and Symphony Learning Trust for the funding to make all this possible. It's such a brilliant addition to our first school!

Our Y5 pupils are creating some truly beautiful artwork inspired by the iconic designs of William Morris. Using intricate patterns, natural forms, and thoughtful colour palettes, they are exploring the Arts and Crafts movement while developing their own creative styles. We are so proud of their imagination, focus, and attention to detail — each piece is unique and full of character!
