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.

What a magical start to the festive season! Our school hall came alive as every child added a bauble to our huge real Christmas tree, making it sparkle with colour and joy. Together, we counted down to the big light switch-on, filling the hall with music, dancing, and plenty of laughter.

Classrooms are now beautifully decorated, and the whole school gathered to enjoy a special story time with the classic ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. It was a wonderful way to celebrate together and spread festive cheer across our school community!
