News and Updates
The autumn term is all about settling into new classes, learning how to support each other and finding a place to belong. Each class has a team display that is designed to make all children feel welcome.
We welcome all parents and carers of children in Years 1 through to Year 6 to our celebration assembly each Friday morning at 9am in the hall.
PGL Adventures in Year 6
We enjoyed an amazing weekend challenging ourselves and growing in confidence this September in Year 6! Our PGL adventure weekend was sunny, exciting and full of new activities such as raft-building, trapeze and a sensory challenge.
A super summer term!
We have enjoyed a super term of learning throughout the school! Summer is our ‘Create’ term, when the arts take the lead! Authentic outcomes this term have included teaching our parents how to paint using different techniques, visiting a care home to share drawing techniques with residents, showcasing work at a gallery and learning from an expert artist in person. We have also shared music concerts with audiences and Year 6 presented a spectacular performance! We are proud of all we have achieved!
