We are thrilled to share the latest Ofsted report, which highlights the wonderful environment and achievements at our school. Inspectors have confirmed that Hewens Primary School is a ‘Good’ school with 'Outstanding' personal development.
On Tuesday 30th June 2026, our Year 6 pupils enjoyed an exciting laser tag session, which provided a fantastic opportunity for them to take part in a fun, active team-building experience. The children showed great enthusiasm throughout, working together, communicating effectively, and demonstrating excellent sportsmanship. It was wonderful to see them supporting one another and engaging so positively in the activities. The session was thoroughly enjoyed by all and provided a memorable experience for our Year 6 pupils as they conclude their final year at primary school.
On Thursday, 11th June, the Year 1 pupils had a wonderful visit to Odds Farm Park. During the trip, the pupils enjoyed a range of engaging and hands-on experiences. They had the opportunity to feed the goats and particularly enjoyed a tractor ride around the park, which was a highlight for many. The visit supported their learning by allowing them to explore farm life and learn more about animals in an interactive environment. The pupils behaved excellently throughout the day and represented the school beautifully. We would like to thank all the staff and parent volunteers who helped make the day such a success.
On Wednesday 3rd June, the Reception children had an unforgettable Animal Experience Workshop packed full of excitement and discovery. The children had the incredible opportunity to meet a fascinating range of creatures, including a python, bearded dragon, millipede, gecko, and even a tarantula!
There were plenty of smiles as the children got hands-on, holding the animals and learning amazing facts about each one. We were so proud of the children for their confidence and curiosity - they showed fantastic bravery and respect throughout the session. It was truly wonderful to see their enthusiasm as they explored the animal world up close. It is safe to say the workshop will be remembered for a long time!
On Friday 22nd May 2026, Hewens Primary proudly celebrated Culture Day, recognising and embracing the rich diversity within our school community. Many pupils wore traditional clothing, colours and attire that represented their culture, heritage and identity, proudly reflecting their family backgrounds and traditions. Their participation created a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere throughout the school. The day provided a wonderful opportunity for pupils to learn about and appreciate different cultures through discussions, activities and shared experiences. It was fantastic to see our school community come together to celebrate the diversity that makes us unique. Thank you to all pupils, families and staff who supported this special event and helped make the day such a success.
This week, the Year 4 pupils learned how to build a working series circuit and explored how to work safely with electrical components. Using batteries, wires, bulbs and switches, the pupils created their own circuits and investigated how electricity flows through a complete circuit to make components work. The pupils drew, labelled and explained diagrams of their circuits, using scientific vocabulary to describe how each part works. It was wonderful to see their teamwork, problem-solving skills and enthusiasm during the investigation. Well done, Year 4!
We are delighted to share some of the wonderful learning that has been taking place in Year 1 this term. Recently, the pupils have been enjoying the story ‘The Odd Egg’ by Emily Gravett. As part of our topic work, the children carried out research into different types of eggs and the birds they belong to. They showed great curiosity and enthusiasm while exploring fascinating facts about birds and their habitats. Following their research, the pupils confidently delivered short oral presentations to their peers, sharing what they had discovered. We were very impressed with their speaking skills, as well as their ability to listen respectfully to one another. To conclude their learning, the pupils created display work showcasing their findings. Their work demonstrates creativity, effort, and a growing understanding of the natural world. We are very proud of all the pupils for their hard work and enthusiasm throughout this project.
On Thursday 23rd April, our Year 2 pupils took part in an exciting Design and Technology project, baking their very own cookies as part of their Geography topic, Chocolate. The pupils learnt about where cocoa comes from and explored the lives of cocoa farmers, including those in Ghana, helping them understand the journey food takes from farm to table. As part of the project, pupils designed eye catching packaging, developing their skills in planning, evaluating and presenting their ideas. They then carefully followed a recipe, practising safe measuring and mixing techniques in the kitchen. This hands on project was a wonderful blend of creativity and practical learning, while deepening their understanding of food origins and global connections.
Last Thursday, 23rd April 2026, was celebrated as St George’s Day nationally and certainly within our school. Both pupils and staff alike donned the colours of red and white in recognition of England’s patron saint. This themed day gave pupils a pep in their step as they reflected on English traditions and embraced our current diverse society. The story of St George slaying the dragon also provided a meaningful opportunity for reflection, reminding us of the importance of courage and standing up for what is right. As a school community, we linked this to our shared responsibility to challenge and “slay” the dragon of discrimination in all its forms, promoting unity, respect and inclusion for everyone.

During our Spring Term Attendance Assembly, we were delighted to recognise pupils who have shown outstanding commitment to attending school every day. 43 pupils were awarded a Bronze Attendance Certificate for achieving 100% attendance throughout the Spring Term. 39 pupils received a Silver Attendance Certificate for maintaining 100% attendance across two consecutive terms, from the start of September 2025 to the end of the Spring Term. These achievements reflect an excellent attitude to learning and a strong partnership between pupils, families, and the school. Regular attendance plays a vital role in academic success and well-being, and we are incredibly proud of all the pupils who earned these awards. Well done to everyone recognised – we look forward to celebrating even more success in the Summer Term!
