Canford Heath Infant School

Thank you to all of our fantastic families for a brilliant year! We hope that you have an amazing summer and good luck to our lovely Year 2 children moving on to their next chapter in life. We know you’ll continue to be incredible!

Congratulations to our lovely team member Sharon Christopher, who is celebrating her 15 year ‘workversary’ with us today.

Thank you Sharon, for your commitment to the Trust and dedication to the children.

The children had a truly fabulous day at their Leavers’ Assembly 🎓✨, they sang beautifully 🎶 and proudly shared some of their favourite memories of Canford Heath Infant School 💛. Each child received a graduation certificate 📜, a medal 🏅 and a special Year Book 📘 to mark this important milestone.

Adding to the celebrations, the wonderful Helen Warren kindly arranged — on behalf of PATCH — delicious graduation cookies 🍪 personalised for each class, which the children thoroughly enjoyed!

It was a memorable day filled with smiles 😄, special moments 💫 and plenty of fantastic photo opportunities 📸 as we celebrated the end of their infant school journey together 🌟

🌟 What a fantastic Sports Day for our Year 1 children! They loved taking part in a variety of activities, racing with determination, and cheering on their friends every step of the way.

Well done to everyone for showing such great teamwork, enthusiasm, and sportsmanship! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️👏

✨ Sparkletime Fridays! ✨

What a treat to end the week! Every Friday afternoon, our children get to enjoy Sparkle Time together as a reward for a fantastic week of learning and brilliant behaviour. 🎉
The children were colouring some very refreshing looking ice pops🍧☀️, some seriously inventive building projects and lots of fun racing Hot Wheels cars! 🏎️🧱🎨
Such a lovely way to celebrate a great week. Well done, everyone! ⭐

Year 2 children had lots of fun taking part in a range of exciting activities, including the egg‑and‑spoon race 🥚🥄, sack race, obstacle course and target throwing 🎯. They showed great enthusiasm and teamwork throughout the day 🤝, particularly when cheering on their classmates during the class sprints 🏃‍♀️💨.

Families joined in with the encouragement from the sidelines, helping to create a wonderful atmosphere 🌟. The event was rounded off with a lovely picnic lunch, which everyone enjoyed together 😊.

What a fantastic Sports Day we had in Early Years! ☀️🏅

A huge well done to all of our amazing children for trying their best, having fun and supporting their friends throughout the morning! Their teamwork, resilience and sportsmanship made us all incredibly proud. 💙👏
