We loved meeting Paralympic Tania Nadarajah today and doing our laps of the playground. Everyone tried very hard and did a fantastic job - well done!

Places are available this September at our wonderful nursery! Get in touch to find out about our warm, welcoming environment where every child is valued as an individual and is supported to grow, learn, play and thrive

It's been a great first week back! Read all about it in this week's newsletter https://sway.cloud.microsoft/YU3Dfa6yAKs64chr?ref=Link&loc=play

We can't wait to meet you, Tania!

Our annual EMAT Torch Relay is back for 2026 and gets under way on Monday featuring another group of incredible Olympic stars.
We'll be joined by Commonwealth Games gold medallist judoka Nekoda Davis - Judo Athlete, Leon Greenwood, who competed for Team GB at this year's Winter Olympics in the bobsleigh competition, Paralympic archer Tania Nadarajah, hockey player Grace Balsdon, who scored the winning goal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games to secure the bronze medal for Team GB, and Paralympic gold medallist Laura Sugar MBE, who has competed in athletics, canoeing and hockey, all thanks to GB Olympians and The Mintridge Foundation.
These elite athletes will join the EMAT Torch as it travels from school to school next week where all of our 5,000 pupils will take part in a fun run or walk. The pupils will also have a unique opportunity to talk to them about the highs and lows of their sporting careers.
Watch this space next week for photos!

This morning we’ve been taking part in some filming to be featured in a video as part of the Voices concert in a few weeks. Everyone sang really well and sounded fantastic!
