This year, children at Holne Chase Primary worked with a local artist to design a vibrant new display representing our Changemaker Vision and core school values.

At Holne Chase, we believe every child has the potential to make a difference. Through enriching experiences, cultural celebrations and opportunities to explore the world around them, we help children build ambition, confidence and the skills they need to become active and responsible citizens.

The new display is a powerful reflection of our children's hopes, aspirations and commitment to creating a brighter future. We are delighted to see their ideas captured in a lasting piece of artwork that celebrates everything we stand for as a school.

A huge well done to all the children involved and thank you to our artist for helping bring their vision to life.

Our second Early Years Network event was a fantastic success!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Pineham Barns Primary School for another inspiring Early Years Network meeting.

Shaped by feedback from our first event, this session explored how effective outdoor provision can enhance children's wellbeing, engagement and achievement. The group shared ideas and examples of how outdoor environments can inspire curiosity, independence and meaningful learning.

More than just professional development, the aim of the Early Years Network is about connecting with colleagues, sharing best practice and supporting one another.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such a valuable afternoon. We look forward to continuing to grow this supportive network and welcoming you to our next meeting later this year.

As our schools prepare to welcome their new Reception children to our Trust this September, they are helping to make the beginning of each child's school journey even more memorable.

At Parklands Primary School each new reception child has received a special gift pack, including a storybook about starting school and a heartfelt legacy letter written by our current Year 6 pupils, who are preparing to begin the next chapter of their own education.

These thoughtful letters are a wonderful example of the caring community that makes our Trust so special, passing on words of encouragement and excitement from one generation of pupils to the next.

Across our Trust, we believe every child should experience fun, creativity, and achievement every day. We can't wait to welcome our newest learners in September and begin this exciting journey together.
