  • Day One of Futures Week

    Mon 19 May 2025 C.Suckley

    Today was the beginning of such an exciting week and it started with a bang! We welcomed Louis Gray and he shared his football journey with the pupils. We completed some physical activities and took part in a Q & A. Questions included who the best footballer he’s played against or with, which team was his favourite and many more. He spoke about not giving up and how there will be bumps in the road of any career but perseverance is key. He definitely gave us some Monday morning energy!

     

    This afternoon saw Classes 1 and 2 having a session with Paramedic Andrew and Nurse Kelly who shared all manner of key facts about their careers. They also ensured that the children left the session with some super important first aid facts as well as the numbers to call for an ambulance in the UK, Europe and the US. The children loved volunteering to have bandages put on or to have their arms put in a sling. Finally, Class 2 had the opportunity to ask questions and practice using some of their kit. 
     

    Additionally, Class 3 walked to St.Matthews Church this afternoon where they met with Reverend Gareth who shared lots of key information about his role in the Church.

  • KS2 SATs Week

    Thu 15 May 2025 Nia Evans

    We are so proud of our Year 6 children who have been doing their SATs this week. They have approached each test with a fantastic attitude and not a single complaint. They’ve been well-fuelled each morning by Mrs Cavell’s legendary two course breakfasts – including cereal, croissants, pain au chocolats and pancakes! Thank you Mrs C!!

  • Lunchtime performances.

    Fri 09 May 2025

    Inspired by the wonderful performances yesterday, some of our children wanted to perform some routines that they had been practising for the school to see.

  • VE Day - 80th Anniversary

    Thu 08 May 2025 Nia Evans

    What a superb day we’ve had. Pupils and staff looked fantastic in their 1940s costumes, setting the tone for a celebration! We enjoyed a street party lunch on the playground, followed by a fascinating talk from Malcolm and Gwenda (Mr Jones’ grandparents), who shared their memories of the Second World War and VE Day. In the afternoon, we came together for a special community celebration, with performances from each class. The event was well attended, the sun came out and our brilliant PTA sold tea and delicious cakes. It was a day to remember for years to come — and an important one to commemorate. Well done to everyone!

  • VE Day ‘80’ Preparations

    Tue 06 May 2025 Nia Evans

    Today we made a great start on our VE Day celebrations by beginning work on a giant Union Jack made from bottle tops. Each class came out onto the field to help carefully place the tops in the correct position. Time-consuming, but lots of fun!

     

    We are still in need of more bottle tops, so if you have any red, blue, or white, please do bring them in this week. Thank you!

  • Bike, Scoot or Walk to school

    Fri 02 May 2025 C Suckley

    The pupils had a great time biking to school today!

  • Victory In Europe Day

    Thu 01 May 2025 W W Two

    Just one week to go!

    Come and celebrate with us! It’s a community event and everyone is welcome, so please help spread the word. We are looking forward to you joining us at 2pm. Please enter via the school gates and don't forget change/cash to buy a piece of cake and a cup of tea!

    As a reminder, we’ve invited children to come dressed in 1940s-style clothing. Please don’t worry if you can’t find anything specific—a shirt, polo top and trousers or a dress/skirt and top will be absolutely fine.

    Many thanks
