🎁🌍 World Give 🌍🎁

Today, a group of our pupils had the wonderful opportunity to work alongside World Give, a charity that provides gift boxes filled with essential items and special treats for children in communities around the world who may not have access to the things many of us take for granted.

The children helped to sort, fill and pack the boxes, knowing that their efforts will bring joy, hope and practical support to other children. They also took part in the filming of a promotional video for the charity alongside local presenter Louise Stones, helping to spread awareness of the incredible work that World Give does.

As a thank you for giving up their time, the charity kindly provided a breakfast club and lots of treats for the children, making the experience even more memorable.

We are incredibly proud of the compassion, generosity and enthusiasm shown by our pupils. They were excellent ambassadors for our school and truly lived out our mission of serving others with love and kindness.

This is just the beginning of our partnership with World Give. In September, we will be launching a whole-school RE homework project and challenging our school community to see how many gift boxes we can fill together. We can’t wait to get involved and make a difference to the lives of children around the world.

Keep an eye out for the finished promotional video, which will be released soon and features some of our wonderful pupils helping to support this fantastic cause!

Thank you to all the families that attended our Year 1 Celebration of the Word and story time. The children loved having you there to share this lovely experience.
Some of parents commented ‘ Thank you for this afternoon. It was a lovely time to hear the children be a part of the celebration of the word and listening to the song.’ And ‘ Thank you for this lovely experience and teaching children how to be kind and grateful through the story of The Rainbow Fish.’

🇬🇧✨ Year 6 had a fascinating history lesson today thanks to Olivia, who shared some incredible family artefacts from both World Wars, including her ancestors’ medals!

She told us about her great-great-great-grandad, who served in the First World War, and her great-great-grandad, who served in the Second World War, helping to bring our learning to life.

We are delighted to announce that 13 of our pupils have been selected to have their poetry published in the Young Writers Monster Poetry anthology! 🎉

The competition challenged children to create their own imaginary monsters and bring them to life through imaginative poetry, inspiring creativity and a love of writing.

We are incredibly proud of all of our talented young writers for this fantastic achievement and cannot wait to see their work in print!
