Friday 15th May 2026

Year 2 enjoyed a fantastic educational visit to Sayer’s Croft as part of their Science learning linked to their habitats topic. Throughout the day, the children explored a variety of natural habitats and took part in exciting hands-on activities. They searched for minibeasts hiding under logs, enjoyed pond dipping, and used sweep nets in the meadows to discover a range of living creatures. The children also took part in themed games linked to habitats, adaptation, movement, and camouflage, helping to bring their classroom learning to life in a fun and engaging way. Another highlight of the visit was the Earthwalk, where the children explored the natural environment and reflected on the world around them. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to develop their scientific knowledge through exploration, teamwork, and outdoor learning.

Reception Class delivered a delightful and engaging assembly yesterday morning on minibeasts that captivated the audience from start to finish. The children shared their learning through songs, speaking parts, and wonderful acting. Every child played their part with enthusiasm and pride. It was lovely to see the children working together so confidently and supporting one another throughout the assembly. Their excitement and growing confidence really shone through.

Congratulations to Freddie L (Kindy), Freddie D (Reception), Leo (Year 1) and Matthew (Year 2) who each achieved a Work of the Week in assembly this morning.  Congratulations also to Valo (Year 1) who earned his Gold Award, and to Teddy and Luke (Year 2) who were presented with their Platinum Awards. Super efforts.

Have a lovely weekend.

We kindly ask parents to check the published timetables each week to ensure that students bring their instrument and music to school on the correct day.

With the warmer weather approaching please can we ensure that children are coming to school with water bottles, caps and have had sun cream applied in the morning.

Tree Tots at Barrow Hills

We’re thrilled to invite little ones into our Nursery and Forest School for a our weekly toddler class – Tree Tots @ Barrow Hills!

Tree Tots welcomes girls and boys aged 6 months – 3 years for a magical hour of play. Babies can relax in our baby sensory corner as toddlers take on themed activity stations – we’ll then all come together for songs, games and story time.

The classes will meet every Friday at 9am during term-time – the first two classes will be free to attend, (thereafter £5 per child), and include a hot drink and snack for both carers and their little ones!

Please do bring along any children and spread the word with friends – tickets must be booked in advance, through the Happity website.

Bacon Butties were a welcome treat this morning, and helped raised £348.50. The Bacon Butty stall runs every Friday from 7:45am, serving a selection of delicious breakfast treats and hot drinks, and is a fabulous meeting point for everyone to catch up at the end of the school week.

The second hand uniform sale was also very successful this morning, raising a grand total of £260!

Thanks to our amazing team and the community for your support!
