Oracy
“The school has created an oracy rich environment, where voices are valued and listened to. Pupils are provided with significant opportunities to develop their oracy skills in every subject and in every lesson.”

Music
“Music is taught very effectively as pupils learn to play instruments and sing to a good standard. Music and singing play a large part in the school’s life. Pupils participate enthusiastically in making music and singing in special events at the school and in the local community. Pupils sing in tune and in harmony using three parts with good tonal quality.” – OFSTED

Sports
Achieving the gold mark for Physical Education since 2018!
“The primary physical education and sport premium is spent very well. Pupils have benefited from access to a wide variety of after-school clubs, competitive events and special activities. As a result, increasingly more pupils participate in a wider range of sports” – OFSTED

Curriculum
“The school’s aims are clear. They are committed to delivering a challenging and engaging curriculum, that is broad and balanced. The curriculum sequence is coherent and clear cross curricular links are made. Such links are further strengthened by the school’s additional ‘Building the Kingdom’ curriculum”

Our year 1 children and parents have had a fantastic time learning together at our Art gallery workshop . The children spoke like real experts explaining the skills and techniques they had acquired in our Drawing unit . Together we explored lines , focussed on artists and went on to create their very own masterpieces inspired by Bridget Riley and Paul Klee . The children loved walking their parents around our art gallery and using their Oracy skills to discuss what they had learned.
Our parents were blown away by their children’s knowledge and confidence in Art .
We have had some lovely comments in our Family learning book which really celebrate the enjoyment and importance of families learning together .
“ A wonderful workshop, the children definitely sound like Art experts. ..
It was a really enjoyable workshop. I enjoyed spending quality time with my child. A big thank you to the amazing teachers for their continued support.
A very effective workshop, very engaging. I loved seeing the Art exhibition. Thank you to all the fabulous teachers.”

Some of our Year 4 children had the opportunity to take part in a brilliant morning of inclusive sport where they tried boccia, archery and new age curling.
The children showed great enthusiasm as they competed against pupils from other schools and enjoyed trying new activities.
It was a wonderful experience for everyone involved and we are incredibly proud of how well the children represented our school. Their teamwork, effort and positive attitude were outstanding throughout the morning. Well done everyone! 🎯👏

Today, we were delighted to welcome parents into school to share in a beautiful Celebration of the Word with our Year 6 children. Together we reflected on the story of The Woman at the Well and its message of acceptance, forgiveness and new beginnings.
It was wonderful to come together in prayer and reflection as a school community. Thank you to all the parents who joined us and helped make the celebration so special.

🙏 Lent Stay and Pray 🙏
Thank you to Charlie and Leon in Year 5 who led us beautifully in our third Lenten Stay and Pray.
We reflected on the importance of showing love during Lent, using the example of Jesus.
Thank you to all children, staff and families who attended.

📚Maths in Action! 📚
Year 4 and their big smiles, big thinking and big excitement in their maths lessons today! Our children have been loving their brand new maths textbooks and the buzz in the classroom has been incredible!
These textbooks are helping bring our maths learning to life. They support the choral reading we enjoy together during lessons and give every child a clear close up view of the maths we are exploring.
It is wonderful to see their confidence growing as they dive into new challenges and discoveries.
We cannot wait to keep using these amazing textbooks as our maths journey continues. 📚✏️🟰🤩
