We were amazed by Tom’s diary he had written, using computer software! He had used such a wide range of vocabulary and it was lovely to see how proud he was of himself! Well done 🙂

We are so proud of all of the children who have earned their Lexia and TT Rockstar awards this week. It is lovely to see you are all working hard at home and school. Keep up the good work!

Well done to everyone who received their headteacher award this week, for their hard work in class. Keep up the good work!

Today, our school was filled with colour, creativity, and countless brilliant hats as children and staff took part in a special awareness day for Brain Tumour Research. From sparkly caps and cosy bobble hats to wide-brimmed sunhats and imaginative handmade creations, every hat worn helped shine a light on an incredibly important cause.

⭐ Why We Took Part

Brain tumours affect thousands of families each year, yet they remain one of the least understood and least funded areas of cancer research. By joining the national campaign and wearing our favourite hats, we hoped to raise awareness of the vital work carried out by Brain Tumour Research and the difference it makes to people across the UK.

We are incredibly proud of our children for taking part with such enthusiasm and understanding. Thank you to all families for supporting the event and helping us highlight such an important cause. Every small action helps raise awareness—and today, our school made a big, bright contribution.

A huge well done to Carson in class 2, who has won a competition they entered! Class 2 all drew and described their own monsters, as part of a Monster Mayhem competition. Their entries were sent off and Carson was chosen as their winner, for his amazing monster ‘Slee’. Carson was sent a special prize and his monster featured on the front cover of the Monster Mayhem book! What an amazing achievement.

We were so impressed with all of the children who had earned their next level in Lexia or had achieved an award for the highest scores on TT Rockstars! Keep up the good work!

Well done to everyone for all of your hard work this week and earning your Headteacher Award! Keep up the good work, we are so proud of you.

Well done to all of the children who achieved their Head Teacher award this week! You have all worked so hard in class. Keep up the good work!

What an incredible World Book Day 2026 we’ve had!

This year marks the National Year of Reading, and our whole school embraced the celebration with enthusiasm, creativity and a shared mission to ignite a lifelong love of books.

From the moment the doors opened, the corridors became a living storybook. Children and staff arrived dressed as their favourite characters—superheroes, magical beings, animals, adventurers and colourful story favourites—bringing instant joy and excitement to the day.

Throughout the school, classes took part in a vibrant mix of activities designed to show just how magical reading can be. Children enjoyed story-sharing sessions, with older pupils reading to younger ones, book recommendations being swapped, and wonderful discussions about characters and plots filling every corner.

Children explored a wide range of authors, poets and genres, discovering new favourites and deepening their appreciation for the world of stories. To round off the day, the whole school came together for the Ultimate World Book Day Quiz—an exciting finale packed with riddles, mystery extracts, character challenges and story soundtracks. The teamwork, laughter and excitement during the quiz showed just how much the children had absorbed throughout the day.

With it being the National Year of Reading, we are more committed than ever to helping every child find the books that light a spark inside them—stories that make them think, laugh, imagine and dream. World Book Day wasn’t just a celebration; it was a launchpad for a year filled with reading adventures across all genres. Thank you to all our families for the effort that went into costumes, conversations about books at home, and supporting children on their journey as confident, passionate readers. Here’s to a wonderful Year of Reading and many more stories yet to be discovered.

Happy reading, everyone! 📚✨

Luke Akehurst MP visited the school today to learn more about our work on inclusion and the Rights Respecting Champions programme linked to UNICEF. He spent time speaking with pupils about how they promote fairness, respect, and children’s rights across the school. During his visit, he also enjoyed watching a lively Tudor dance performed by Year 4/5 and a creative interpretive dance performed by Year 6 inspired by Sir David Attenborough’s Earth, which highlighted important messages about climate and caring for our planet. The visit was a great opportunity to showcase the pupils’ hard work, talent, and commitment to making a positive difference.
