On Friday 2nd October 2026, pupils across the school took part in the Pupil Voice elections. After thoughtful campaigns and enthusiastic voting, the pupils elected their Pupil Voice President and Vice President. The spirit of democracy truly spoke, giving everyone the chance to have their say. We congratulate our newly elected leaders – Varunesh and Fowsia and thank all candidates for their efforts and dedication. Their willingness to represent their peers showed great confidence and commitment, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact of their leadership over the coming year.
We are delighted to celebrate the fantastic achievement of Olivia in Year 3, who has been awarded a special prize from Young Writers for her creative poem, The Nice Big Guy.
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!
