Hemington Primary School

Get your orders in!

Just a reminder to all of our new Reception families, the stay and play at Mini Donington is taking place on Thursday 13th August. This will be a great networking opportunity for both children and parents. 🌟

✨ School Stay & Play Meet Ups – Limited Spaces Remaining! ✨

If your little one is starting Foxbridge Primary School this year, we only have a handful of spaces left for our Foxbridge Stay & Play session! We also have some spaces remaining for Hemington, St Edward’s and Orchard Primary School meet ups.

The summer holidays can feel like such a long time for little ones. Many are missing their nursery friends, wondering who will be in their new class, and starting to get excited (and maybe a little nervous!) about beginning school.

Our Stay & Play sessions are a lovely way to bridge that gap ❤️

✨ Your child can:
🎒 Meet children who will be starting the same school.
🎈 Enjoy 90 minutes exploring Mini Donington together.
😊 Meet familiar faces before their first day.
🎁 Receive a little starting school gift to celebrate this exciting milestone.

And for the grown-ups…
☕ Meet other parents from your child’s new school.
💛 Chat, make new connections, and enjoy a coffee while the children play.

We know starting school is a huge milestone for the whole family, and we hope these relaxed sessions help make those first school gates feel just that little bit more familiar.

If you’ve been thinking about booking, now’s the perfect time before the remaining spaces are gone. Link in our bio 💛

Selected dates at 1.15pm

💛 We can’t wait to welcome you all!

What a truly special afternoon we had celebrating our wonderful Year 6 leavers. Each child shared a presentation reflecting on their favourite memories from their time at our school, reminding us of the friendships, laughter, and unforgettable moments we've shared together.
We are incredibly proud of this amazing cohort and will miss them more than words can say. As they begin their next adventure at secondary school, we know they will achieve wonderful things.
We wish each and every one of them every success and happiness for the future. 💙

Year 6 had a brilliant time on their leavers trip the other day. They had a tasty lunchtime treat at McDonald’s followed by two very competitive games of mini golf; there was only 1 point between first and second place! 🍔⛳️ 🥳

If you’re local and have a little one starting primary school at the end of August, you may have seen that we’re hosting special Stay & Play sessions for children starting at Orchard, Hemington, Foxbridge, and St Edward’s Primary Schools.

These sessions are a lovely opportunity for children (and parents!) to meet others who will be starting the same school. Whether you’re meeting new faces for the first time or simply catching up with familiar friends before the big start, it’s a relaxed and friendly get-together during the summer holidays.

Starting school is such a big milestone, and we know it can bring a mix of excitement and nerves for both children and parents. We hope these sessions help make that transition feel a little easier and a lot more fun.

At the end of each session, every child will receive a small gift to celebrate this exciting new chapter and wish them luck as they begin their school journey.

Head to our booking link, select the relevant date for the correct school. Places are limited 💛

Thank you to those of you who have booked so far. We are looking forward to it!

What a lovely two days we've had welcoming our new children during their transition into school! They have made lots of new friends, taken part in a variety of exciting activities, and most importantly, had a wonderful time together. We can't wait to welcome them back to school in the autumn term and continue their learning journey with us.
