🌧️ Year 6 Residential at Stanley Head

Despite the wet and chilly weather, our Year 6 children embraced every moment of their residential visit to Stanley Head! They truly lived out our school values—showing resilience, teamwork and positivity throughout the week.

From challenging outdoor adventures to trying brand new activities, every child stepped outside their comfort zone and made memories to last a lifetime. We are incredibly proud of their determination and enthusiasm!
Take a look at a snapshot of the week in these photos 📸👇

It was a wet yet wonderful day for our nursery children at Amerton Farm. They saw lots of animals, splashed in the puddles, rode on the tractor and showed off their physical development skills in the play area. The rain didn’t stop them from having lots of fun and learning about life on a farm.

Year 3 have been learning about our local area including the pottery industry. As part of their topic, they visited Gladstone Pottery Museum. They had a fantastic time and created some brilliant clay art work. Well done!

We are thrilled to unveil our brand-new Food Technology Room — a fantastic addition to support and inspire learning within our Design & Technology curriculum!

This space will give our children the opportunity to:
👩‍🍳 Develop practical cooking skills
🥗 Learn about nutrition, food science and healthy choices
🧠 Build creativity, independence and confidence

This new facility reflects our commitment to providing high-quality, engaging learning environments where children can thrive and develop essential life skills.

We can’t wait to see the incredible dishes, ideas and innovation that will come out of this space! Creative Education Trust

Oral language plays a vital role in children’s learning, literacy and social and emotional development.

Our latest guide supports parents and educators with practical, evidence-informed strategies to help children build school-ready language skills.

The guide explores:
• Building oral language through meaningful interaction
• Supporting listening and attention
• Growing children’s vocabulary
• Sharing stories and naming feelings
• Working with settings to spot and support language needs
• Using evidence-based approaches to meet individual needs

With language developing rapidly between the ages of two and six, early support can make a lasting difference to children’s confidence, communication and readiness for school.
