The ORP and Year 1 News 🐍🐧
The ORP teachers would like to thank all the parents who joined them on their trip to Hertfordshire Zoo . The children had a fabulous time and saw lots of animals!
Year 1 also had a fabulous time at the zoo. They learnt about birds, reptiles, mammals and amphibians. They saw so many animals including some enormous snakes, beautiful birds and cheeky penguins. The children behaved beautifully. Their enthusiasm for learning was infectious. Everyone had a wonderful learning experience. 🤗🧠

Cost of Living Help

🌞The Great British Summer Savings scheme is running from 25 June to 1 September 2026, helping families feel a bit less squeezed this summer.

Children aged 5 to 15 in England will also be able to travel free on local bus services throughout August.
