  • 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!

  • Values Day

    Mon 30 Jun 2025

    Today we held a Whole School Values Day, where children across the school came together to reflect on and celebrate our core values: Forgiveness, Friendship, Respect, Determination, and Service.

    Pupils were placed into mixed-age groups and worked together brilliantly as they explored the meaning behind each value through a range of thoughtful and creative activities. Each value was brought to life through stories from the Bible, helping the children understand their deeper importance and how they can be lived out in everyday life.

    There was a fantastic sense of teamwork, care, and cooperation throughout the day. It was inspiring to see older and younger pupils supporting one another and realising just how much our school values shape the way we learn, play, and grow together.

    A meaningful and memorable day for all!

  • Last Day of Term

    Fri 04 Apr 2025

    s the term came to an end, the school marked the occasion with a fun and relaxed Easter celebration. The whole-school picnic, held at lunchtime, brought students and staff together to enjoy some time outdoors.  It was a lovely chance for everyone to sit down, chat, and enjoy the fresh air before the holiday break.

    After the picnic, the Easter Egg Hunt was the next big event of the day. The school grounds were dotted with hidden eggs, and the children eagerly set off to find them. It was a great way to get everyone moving and engaged, with many laughs and little moments of excitement as eggs were discovered in different corners of the field.

    Everyone had a lovely day and all the staff would like to wish all our families a very happy Easter.
