It has been a super week – helped by warmer, less wet weather that meant that children could play across the wider school grounds. This makes such a difference – lunchtimes have been fun. On Wednesday, Reception children and families enjoyed a bedtime story evening in the hall and cosy classrooms. We have had Read…

It has been an excellent week – the slightly better weather helps. Spring is coming. Just before half term, we had a Teacher Training Day. We focused on AI tools that we have in school and the role AI may play in the classroom and in school organisation. We are just at the start Read…

Can the school get any wetter or muddier? We are having so many wet days: last Wednesday’s sunshine is a very distant memory. Lots of children do still love the wet weather: particularly those lower key stage 2 children that seem to adore quagmires. After a bit of ‘help’ from some mud-loving children, we Read…

We have a good week, albeit muddy. Some children literally got stuck in our KS2 ‘quarry’ mining clay and looking, in vain, for worms. A few children in Y5 were literally hoisted out of the clay with their wellies stuck fast. Occasionally, we have to bring in supply teachers: usually to cover a sick Read…

Happy New Year! It has been a strong start to the new term and calendar year. I am still doing school tours for prospective families – they are cutting it fine with the Reception deadline next week – and school is settled and focused. As usual, we do these tours at any time or Read…

The Wizard of Oz (sort of)
With just a couple of rehearsals, a team of staff put on an impromptu pantomime for the children on the last day of term: The Wizard of Oz! There was a fine effort with costumes and face paint! We think the children enjoyed the show… We certainly seemed to get an excited and smiley Read…

A Miracle in Town
We hope everyone enjoyed the KS1 nativity: A Miracle in Town. The Year 1 children acted and spoke well, and the Year 2 narrators were almost word-perfect. Well done everyone! 7
