2025-2026 school year that’s a wrap!!!!!
As another fantastic school year comes to an end, we have been reflecting on just how much we have achieved together. Alongside our daily learning and the curriculum, our children have enjoyed an incredible range of enrichment opportunities that have made this year truly memorable.
We have welcomed inspiring visitors into school, including Mini Police, the Fire Brigade for their Dark Nights safety talk, Crucial Crew, Restart a Heart Day, Music for Life, drama workshops, dance workshops, KidzFit, Skip2BeFit, the climbing wall, skateboard and Scooterbility sessions, GW Football Academy coaching, and Aquatic Finatics Animal Club. Our pupils have also developed new musical talents through drumming, ukulele and keyboard lessons.
Our love of reading, music and the arts has continued to flourish with World Book Day celebrations, Young Voices, our school choir performing at the Rotary Club's Jasmine Harrison Homecoming Event, Christmas Nativity performances, the Year 6 Leavers' Production, and a wonderful visit from a theatre company to perform The Railway Children for us
Learning beyond the classroom has been a real highlight. Children enjoyed educational visits to the North Yorkshire Moors, church visits, Little Learners, Peat Rigg Residential, and a fun-filled end-of-year trip to Lightwater Valley Theme Park. Year 6 also took part in Bikeability, helping them develop valuable cycling skills and confidence.
We have celebrated many special events throughout the year, including Harvest Festival, Christmas Jumper Day, Christmas parties, the PTA Christmas Fayre and Tea with the Grinch, parent craft days, PTA discos, cake stalls, the Rotary Club Santa Run, Red Nose Day, Comic Relief, our Colour Run and Foam Party, and our annual Fun Run. These events have brought our school community together while raising money for important causes and creating lasting memories.
Sport has once again played a huge part in school life. Alongside swimming lessons, gymnastics, Sports Day and a wide variety of after-school sports clubs, pupils have represented the school in numerous inter-school tournaments throughout the year. Their teamwork, determination and sportsmanship have made us incredibly proud.
Throughout the year, our children have also benefited from inspiring assemblies, exciting science club sessions, hands-on learning experiences and countless opportunities to develop confidence, resilience, creativity and independence.
When we look back over everything we have shared this year, it is clear that school is about so much more than lessons in the classroom. Every trip, visitor, performance, workshop, celebration and sporting event has helped our children grow, discover new talents, make wonderful memories and build friendships that will last a lifetime.
Thank you to our incredible staff, supportive families, volunteers, PTA, governors and the many organisations who have given their time and expertise to provide such amazing opportunities for our children. Most importantly, thank you to our pupils, whose enthusiasm, kindness and willingness to embrace every opportunity have made this such a successful and unforgettable year.
We wish everyone a safe, happy and well-deserved summer break and look forward to another exciting year together.
