Last week, the children in Nursery to Year 6 had a lovely visit from their old friend Harrold (our healthy-living giraffe mascot). The workshops were interactive, with children feeling inspired through the use of well-being strategies to ensure they can articulate their needs and feelings to make healthy choices.

On Wednesday 22nd January 2025, the School Travel and Road Safety Team provided a workshop for our Reception, Year 1 and Year 4 Pupils on how to be responsible pedestrians. The children gained valuable knowledge on what to look out for when crossing the road.

On 8th January 2025, we held a special Attendance Assembly to celebrate and recognise pupils who have achieved an impressive milestone: 100% attendance since the start of the academic year. A total of 90 certificates were awarded during the assembly: 29 to pupils in EYFS and Key Stage 1, and 61 to pupils in Key Stage 2. Attendance is not only about being present in school but also plays a crucial role in academic success. Studies consistently show a strong correlation between regular attendance and higher academic achievement. By attending school every day, pupils gain continuous access to lessons, build on their knowledge and skills, and fully participate in the school community. We are incredibly proud of all our pupils who have demonstrated such dedication and commitment. Their consistent effort sets a shining example for others and reinforces the importance of reliability and perseverance. Congratulations to all awardees, and thank you to parents, guardians and carers for supporting excellent attendance! Let’s continue working together to ensure every pupil has the opportunity to thrive through regular attendance.

On 5th December 2024, our Year 5 and 6 pupils had the privilege of hearing from Festus Akinbusoye, the UK’s first Black Police and Crime Commissioner. Festus shared his incredible journey of resilience, determination, and success, captivating our pupils with stories of his entrepreneurial ventures and ground-breaking career achievements. He spoke about overcoming challenges, the importance of staying focused on goals, and the value of making a positive impact in the community. His inspirational message left a lasting impression, encouraging our young learners to embrace their potential, dream big, and approach their futures with confidence and perseverance.

Our Reception and Year 1 pupils truly captured the magic of Christmas by hosting joyful carolling assemblies and performing charming mini nativity skits. Their enthusiasm and creativity shone brightly, leaving parents, guardians, and carers thoroughly entertained and filled with festive cheer. Each performance was a testament to the hard work, teamwork, and dedication of our pupils and staff, who worked tirelessly to ensure the success of the assemblies. We are incredibly proud of our pupils for their efforts and grateful to everyone who joined us to share these special moments.

On Friday 15th November, the children participated in a special ‘fancy dress up day’ to support the British Broadcasting Corporation’s (BBC) annual telethon to raise vital funds for Children in Need, to help improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the United Kingdom. Thank you to all those who contributed to the cause.
