We were delighted to celebrate British Science Week with our pupils this year. The theme, “Curiosity: What’s your Question? ”, inspired pupils across the school to think creatively, ask bold questions and explore the world around them with inquisitive minds. Throughout the week, pupils took part in a range of exciting scientific challenges, and we are pleased to share some of the highlights from their learning journey.
Our Nursery pupils had a wonderful time exploring the world of Doctors and Nurses in their role play area. The children enjoyed using medical props, taking turns as patients and practitioners, acting out real-life scenarios, including CPR. This imaginative play not only sparked their curiosity but also helped to enhance their communication skills, develop empathy, and build confidence as they worked together and explored new vocabulary. It has been lovely to see their teamwork throughout this learning experience!
On Tuesday 3rd March 2026, we were delighted to welcome Cllr Philip Corthorne, the Mayor of the London Borough of Hillingdon, to our school. During his visit, the Mayor spent time engaging with pupils from Nursery through to Year 6, taking a genuine interest in their learning, ideas and experiences. He visited classrooms, spoke with staff and pupils, and observed the positive attitudes and strong relationships that make our school community so special. It was particularly wonderful to see the thoughtful and insightful questions our pupils asked. They demonstrated impressive confidence, curiosity and awareness of the wider world, qualities we are very proud to nurture. The visit was a truly inspiring experience for our whole school community and a valuable opportunity for pupils to learn more about local leadership and civic responsibility. We extend our sincere thanks to the Mayor for taking the time to visit and for encouraging our children to aim high and make a positive difference in their community.
On Friday 6th February 2026, pupils across the school took part in NSPCC Number Day - a wonderful event that combined maths fun with fundraising for an important cause.
Our pupils embraced the activities with great enthusiasm, taking on number challenges, problem solving tasks, and interactive games that made maths both exciting and accessible. Beyond the enjoyment, we were proud to support the NSPCC and its vital services, including Childline.
Last week, children from Nursery to Year 6 enjoyed a wonderful visit from their old friend Harold, our healthy living giraffe mascot. The interactive workshops inspired pupils to explore a range of well being strategies, helping them to understand and express their needs and feelings so they can make positive, healthy choices.
National Handwriting Day, celebrated on Friday 23rd January 2026, was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the art of handwriting. We marked this special day by embracing the joy of putting pen to paper and recognising every child’s unique handwriting journey - from Nursery all the way to Year 6. Handwriting helps to build confidence, connection, and creativity, and it remains an important skill in an increasingly digital world. We invite you to join us in this celebration by continuing to encourage your children to explore and enjoy the wonderful world of writing.
On Tuesday, 20th January 2026, the Reception classes took part in an exciting learning experience as part of their topic on staying safe and healthy. We were delighted to welcome a visit from our local police officers, where the children learnt about what police officers do, where they work, and how they help to keep everyone safe in the community. They asked lots of thoughtful questions, including how you become a police officer and what a typical day involves. The visit was interactive and engaging, and the children especially enjoyed trying on police hats, using the radio, colouring in pictures, and chatting with our visitors. It was a wonderful experience that brought their learning to life and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
On Monday 12th January 2026, our Year 6 pupils visited Brunel University to take part in the Junior Citizens event. During their visit, pupils rotated through a range of interactive stations led by key organisations, including the London Fire Brigade, the Metropolitan Police, road safety teams, water safety specialists, Transport for London, online safety advisors, and professionals discussing drugs and alcohol awareness. The sessions were engaging and informative, helping pupils to develop practical knowledge and skills to stay safe and make responsible choices as they grow older. The visit was an excellent opportunity for reallife learning, and the children represented the school exceptionally well.
