  • Seaside Day

  • Diversity Day

    Tue 22 Jul 2025

    Today we held and  celebrated our school Diversity Day, centred on the theme “We Are All Wonders.” It was a day filled with reflection, learning, and creativity as we explored what makes each of us unique, while also recognising the threads that connect us all.

    Children reflected on the idea that everyone is wonderfully made, with their own special gifts, backgrounds, and experiences. Through stories, discussions, and activities, we celebrated both individuality and community.

    Other activities included  learning about Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah, whose powerful story showed us how determination and courage can overcome life’s challenges. Emmanuel’s journey inspired pupils to see ability, not limitation, and to think about how we can support and include others.

    We also explored different types of families, learning that love and care are what truly make a family. Discussions around racism and respect helped children understand the importance of standing up for fairness and treating everyone with kindness. Our infant children enjoyed learning to say hello in different languages and had great fun tasting snacks from around the world, helping them appreciate the richness of global cultures in a hands-on, joyful way.

    Throughout the day, pupils took part in creative activities and thoughtful conversations that helped build empathy, celebrate diversity, and strengthen our shared values.

    Diversity Day reminded us that while we are all different, we are all valuable—woven together by kindness, respect, and the belief that everyone belongs.

  • Our infants go to the farm

    Mon 07 Jul 2025

    Today our lovely infant children visited Field Farm for a fun-filled day of outdoor adventures and hands-on learning! The children had a wonderful time picking their own vegetables straight from the ground and turning them into delicious smoothies to enjoy.

    They loved rolling giant hay bales and playing together in the wide-open spaces. After  lunch, the fun continued as they explored the fabulous mud kitchen, zoomed around on toy tractors, and worked together to make their very own scarecrows.

    To top it all off, everyone enjoyed a refreshing ice lolly in the sunshine before heading home, tired but happy. It was a joyful day packed with laughter, teamwork, and memories to treasure!
