Y1/2 had a fantastic day out at Warwick Castle! They had a tour around the castle from a knight, who told them lots of interesting facts about the castle, looked around the great hall at all of the different weapons and armour, walked to the top of the oldest part of the castle and ate lunch whilst watching the birds of prey fly over.

This week’s goes to Rosie and Abi for completing the junior Wolf Run, doing 6km in total! What an incredible achievement girls and great to see some Robert Bakewell alumni too!

This week’s goes to Ben, who joined the Leicestershire ensembles and other young musicians from the local area to perform on stage at De Montfort Hall for the Leics Make Music Festival Strings and Band concert on 9th June. Great job, Ben! 🎼

We were delighted to welcome Chip Colquhoun, a professional storyteller, to our school last week. He captivated the entire school with an engaging storytelling performance before working with different year groups throughout the day. During these sessions, pupils learned the art of storytelling by collaborating to create interactive stories, developing their creativity, imagination, and communication skills.

Happy half term! As we enter a week's break, take a look at the results from a short questionnaire to our pupils about behaviour and our 3B school rules: Be Brilliant, Be Proud, Be Kind. The results made us so proud to be !

100% of pupils understand our 3B rules.

Over 95% say behaviour has improved and is dealt with fairly.

Over 92% report the impact on learning is positive- our school is an amazing place to be.

Pupil voice: "We have the chance to learn from our mistakes." Exactly the resilient, reflective spirit we want to see.

Thank you to everyone- pupils, staff and families- for living our values. Enjoy a restful half term and come back ready to learn, care and achieve together.

This week’s goes to Lacey, who has completed her level 4 swimming award- great work, Lacey!
