Our children had an amazing experience working alongside local author Adam Bushnell and Sarah in a creative cooking workshop! They combined storytelling with culinary skills, turning everyday food into imaginative heroes and villains. From crafting characters out of ingredients to cooking up a storm in the kitchen, the children made delicious recipes from scratch, including gingerbread and chicken fajita pasta. It was a fantastic blend of creativity and teamwork—well done to everyone involved!
Well done to everyone who has achieved their next level in TT Rockstars, Numbots or Lexia this week. It is lovely to see you all working so hard at home and school!
Well done to everyone who earned their Headteacher Award this week! We are so proud of the amazing work you have been doing.
What a truly magical nativity performance! The children shone brightly on stage, sharing the Christmas story with confidence, joy, and festive spirit. We are so proud of their hard work and teamwork – it was a wonderful celebration to remember!
Our Christmas Craft Fayre was a fantastic event and a wonderful way to bring our school community together. Thanks to your incredible support, we raised over £850, and that’s before counting the raffle total! The raffle will be drawn during our Christingle Service, so stay tuned for the final amount.
A big thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and helped make this event so special. Your generosity and festive spirit truly made a difference!
We enjoyed showcasing our amazing Team Party manifestos to our parents and carers at our Parliamentary Coffee Morning! It was great to see everyone voting for the party they wanted to win and to see our parents and carers getting involved. Everyone had so much fun participating in the activities around the workshop areas and enjoyed some delights from our Fairtrade stall.
We have counted all of the votes and can now say that the winner of our in-school election is… Blue Party! Their ‘Break The Rules’ Day will be happening very soon. We will forward more information about this day next week.

Our whole school had an amazing time at this year’s Christmas pantomime, Secret Agent Frostbite! The performance was packed with laughter, music, and plenty of festive cheer. The children loved singing along to the catchy tunes and joining in with the interactive parts of the show. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the season together and create magical memories for everyone.
Last week, our school took part in Safeguarding Week 2025, a special time dedicated to helping our pupils understand how to stay safe, look after themselves, and support others. Each day focused on a different theme, explored through fun and interactive workshops across all year groups.
We kicked off the week by learning about digital safety. Pupils discussed how to protect personal information, spot online dangers, and make smart choices when using technology. They even designed their own “Digital Safety Hats” to remind us of the importance of staying safe online.
Our second day focused on building healthy friendships and understanding feelings. Through role-play and creative activities, pupils explored how to show kindness, respect boundaries, and ask for help when needed.
Midweek, we tackled the topic of bullying. Children learned how to recognise bullying, speak up, and support each other. Classes created “Support Circles” and made pledges to stand against bullying.
Thursday’s workshops taught pupils about personal space and physical safety. Using the NSPCC’s “Talk PANTS” resources, children learned simple rules to keep themselves safe and identify trusted adults.
We ended the week by empowering pupils to share their ideas about safety. Each class contributed to our “Classroom Safety Promise” and created suggestion boxes to ensure every child’s voice is heard.
Well done to everyone who earned their Numbots and TT Rockstars awards. We were so impressed by some of your Hugh scores!
