We’re a warm, welcoming school where children are known, valued and supported to flourish.
📚 We are currently welcoming applications for limited spaces in all year group and shortly for places next September.

🌟 Calm Connections Club 🌟
Last week, we focused on getting all our excess energy out with a fun-filled ‘Danny Go!’ session, followed by some calming yoga to help us reset and relax. 🧘‍♀️💜

Great job, team! 👏 You all did brilliantly!

Our Calm Connections Club is a wonderful opportunity for children to move, play, connect and learn simple ways to help them feel calm and ready to take on the rest of the week. 🌈✨

🎉 Spaces are available!
Come along, join the fun and be part of our next session.

👉 Sign up today — details can be found on our school website.

We can’t wait to see you there! 💜

And there was plenty more coding fun at half-time with our coding arcade. 💻🎮

A fantastic evening of teamwork, creativity, coding and, of course, a little bit of robot football! 🤖⚽👏

There are still a couple of spaces remaining! If your child would like to join the fun, visit our website for sign-up details. 💻💜

Our ukulele lessons with Good Vibes Music and Mr Christmas have been bringing music, fun and plenty of good vibes to Purley Primary for over three years now! 💜
It’s fantastic to see our children enjoying learning new songs, developing their musical skills and building confidence as they play together. 🎵😊
We thought we’d share a little snapshot from today’s lesson — just look at those budding musicians! 🎸👏
If your child would like to join the ukulele fun, there are still opportunities to get involved.
📌 See the poster below or our school website for more information about the lessons and how to sign up.
A huge thank you to Good Vibes Music and Mr Christmas for inspiring our young musicians week after week! 🌟
