As we come to the end of another wonderful school year, we'd like to thank you all for your continued support. We've had a fantastic final half term, packed with exciting experiences including residential visits, camp outs and swimming at Lazonby. The children have shown enthusiasm, resilience and teamwork throughout, and we couldn't be prouder of them.
We hope you all have a fantastic summer break and look forward to welcoming everyone back in September.
Good luck to our Year 6 Leavers!
We would like to wish all of our Year 6 pupils the very best as they move on to secondary school. They have been wonderful members of our school community and we know they will go on to achieve great things. Good luck—we will miss you all!
Summer Fair Success!
A huge thank you to everyone who came along, donated and supported our Summer Fair.
Together we raised an amazing £682.78 for our school and our Global Goals charities. We are incredibly proud of the children for designing, organising and running their own stalls. It was a wonderful example of our fantastic community spirit.
Thank you for helping to make the event such a success!
