• Diwali Celebrations

  Tue 04 Nov 2025

  This week our Infant children enjoyed learning about Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights. The children explored the different ways people celebrate Diwali and the importance of light in the festival.

  They loved creating their own diya lamps, using and experimenting with mehndi designs, drawing intricate patterns. They worked together to make colourful rangoli patterns to welcome good luck.

  As part of their learning, the children listened to the story of Rama and Sita, discovering how it links to the triumph of good over evil and why lights are so important during Diwali.

   

  

• Wellbeing Week

  Fri 17 Oct 2025

  Our school enjoyed a fantastic Wellbeing Week, filled with activities that supported positive relationships, emotional regulation and healthy minds.

  We began with a whole-school PSHE Day focused on relationships, helping children reflect on how we care for ourselves and others. Throughout the week, pupils took part in a range of workshops exploring regulation, mindfulness and resilience, giving them practical tools to manage emotions and build confidence.

  We were delighted to welcome Milly from Open Doors, who led uplifting movement and music sessions that the children thoroughly enjoyed. The Mental Health Support Team also visited, delivering engaging sessions across the school as well as hosting a helpful pop-in session for parents.

  The week finished on a real high with a brilliant cake sale organised by FOGs, and a vibrant book sale run in partnership with One More Chapter, our independent bookshop in Radcliffe.

  It was a wonderful week full of learning, positivity and community spirit!
