- 24 Oct 2025What a Half Term it's Been! As we come to the end of this half term, we couldn't be prouder of everything our pupils and staff have achieved. It's been a busy few weeks filled with learning, laughter, and plenty of hard work! A huge highlight was our Open Mornings on 18th and 20th October both fantastic events that truly showcased what makes our school special. Visitors got to see real lessons, meet our amazing pupils, and experience the genuine warmth and energy that fills our classrooms every day. The smiles, the teamwork, and the positive atmosphere spoke louder than words our school spirit was on full display! Thank you to everyone who visited, supported, and celebrated our school community this half term. Have a wonderful break you've all earned it!View This Post
- 24 Oct 2025Year 5 & 6 Halloween Disco What a spooktacular dinnertime! Our Year 5 and 6 pupils (and staff!) had an amazing time at the Halloween Disco full of fun, laughter, and some brilliant dance moves! From creative costumes to classic tunes, the atmosphere was fantastic from start to finish. It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying themselves, showing off their best spooky style, and making memories together. A huge thank you to all the staff who helped organise and joined in the fun it really was a night to remember!View This Post
