🍎✨ **Thank a Teacher Day 2026** ✨🍎

Today, we celebrate and say a huge THANK YOU to all of our incredible teachers and support staff who make a difference in the lives of our children every single day.

Their dedication, kindness, patience, and passion help our pupils learn, grow, and achieve their very best. Whether inspiring a love of reading, building confidence in maths, supporting wellbeing, or simply being there when a child needs them most, their impact reaches far beyond the classroom.

We are incredibly proud of our amazing team and grateful for everything they do for our school community.

💙 To all our staff – thank you for your hard work, commitment, and the care you show our children every day. You truly make a difference.

We are delighted to share some wonderful feedback following a recent SEND review visit to London Colney Primary & Nursery School.

The reviewer praised our inclusive culture, the warm welcome given to children and families each morning, and the way staff intuitively respond to pupils' individual needs. Parents spoke incredibly positively about the school, saying they would strongly recommend us and highlighting how staff consistently go the extra mile to support children and families.

Our pupils shared that they feel safe, supported and know exactly who they can turn to when they need help. The reviewer also recognised our commitment to maintaining high standards for all children, including those who are disadvantaged, alongside the effective deployment of our teaching assistants.

Particular praise was given for our well-developed systems and processes, our flexible and adaptive approach, and the knowledge staff demonstrated about individual children's needs and the support provided to help them succeed.

We are incredibly proud of our staff, pupils and families. Together, we continue to ensure that every child feels valued, supported and able to thrive.

Thank you to everyone who makes London Colney Primary & Nursery School such a special place to learn and grow. 🌟

🌟 Well Done, Year 5! 🌟

A huge well done to our Year 5 pupils for their visit to the library. The library staff were incredibly impressed with their excellent behaviour, enthusiasm and positive attitude throughout the visit.

The children represented our school brilliantly, showing respect, curiosity and a real love of learning. They listened carefully, engaged fully in the activities and were a credit to themselves, their families and our school community.

We are very proud of each and every one of you. Keep up the fantastic work, Year 5! 📚⭐

🌟 Strengthening Our Partnership with Higher Education 🌟
This week, we were delighted to welcome working with a university researcher and English education specialist to learn more about the innovative work taking place across our school.
The visit focused on how schools can prepare pupils for an increasingly multi-modal world, where communication extends beyond traditional written texts to include film, advertising, digital media, picture books and visual storytelling. It was wonderful to share the exciting learning experiences our children are engaging with, including work on advertising, local community visits, film studies and the use of rich, high-quality texts.
The university was particularly impressed by the thoughtful way our pupils analyse the purpose and intended impact of different media, as well as our whole-school commitment to developing literacy through picture books, graphic texts and wider reading opportunities.
The discussions also highlighted how closely our work aligns with current developments in English education and curriculum thinking. We are excited to continue building links with the university, contributing to educational research and exploring future opportunities for professional development and collaboration.
We are incredibly proud of our pupils and staff, whose creativity, critical thinking and enthusiasm for learning continue to attract recognition beyond our school community.
