Music Lessons with Dudley Performing Arts

Dear Parents

 We are working with Dudley Performing Arts (DPA) to provide music lessons in school. Dudley Performing Arts offer high-quality instrumental tuition from specialist music teachers. Group lessons are available for just £10 per week and individual lessons for £14 per week. Lessons are offered on a wide range of instruments making it easy for every child to find something they will enjoy.

Learning an instrument is not only enjoyable and rewarding, but it also supports children’s wellbeing by building confidence, resilience and creativity. Music lessons can enhance concentration and listening skills all of which can have a positive impact on achievement across the wider curriculum. To find out more and enrol for lessons starting in September, visit the Dudley Performing Arts website:  https://www.dudley.gov.uk/things-to-do/dudley-performing-arts/information-for-parents-and-young-people/music-lessons-in-schools/

World Cup Semi-Final Day

Monday 13th July 2026

Dear Families

Celebrating England’s Success 

As the England football team has reached the World Cup Semi-final, we would like to celebrate this wonderful achievement with our students.

On Wednesday 15th July, we will be recognising this special occasion at school. To mark the event, we are inviting all students to wear an England shirt, red and white clothing, or anything else that makes them happy as they show their support for the team.

This is a lovely opportunity for our students to come together and celebrate sporting excellence.

Important Information

Please note that school will start at the usual time on Thursday 16th July, and morning registration will close at 09:30 as normal. There will be no changes to our regular school day.

We look forward to seeing our students in their celebratory outfits and sharing in this moment of national pride.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards

Mrs L Mason

Roman Forts in 3N

 

3N have spent the day creating Roman forts. They have learnt lots about how a Roman fort was constructed and the buildings inside that the fort protected, as well as developing their construction skills and working together as a team. All whilst having a great day!
