• 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!

• 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.
