Head teacher’s update

We have made it to the end of a particularly hot and uncomfortable summer term!  And what an end to the term it has been.

Well done, Sunbeam.  Despite some last minute extra house points in assembly, you were the clear house point winners, for this term!

We bid a very fond farewell to our lovely year 6 pupils.  Year 6, you have been an absolute pleasure.  As well as being a lot of fun, you have worked extremely hard and achieved some really excellent results.  We are extremely proud of you and wish you all the very best in the next phase of your education.  Thank you for a really lovely leavers’ service and end to the term – I will never be able to listen to Back Street Boys without thinking of you, again!  Well done and thank you, Year 6.  Good luck for the future.

There are some staff that we will also be saying good bye and good luck to, too.  To Mrs York, Miss Cottam, Mrs Sidaway and Mrs Shipley – we wish you all the very best for your next chapters.  Thank you very much for all that you have done to support and guide our school community. You will all be very missed but we wish you every happiness with your new roles.

I wish you all a very safe, happy and wonderful summer holidays.  We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday 3rd September for lots more learning, fun and adventure.

The end of a wonderful year for Year 1 and 2!

As we come to the end of another wonderful school year, we would like to thank all of our Year 1 and Year 2 children, their families and carers for your support, kindness, and enthusiasm throughout the year.

It has been a pleasure to watch the children grow in confidence, develop new skills, and create so many happy memories. We are incredibly proud of everything they have achieved and all of the hard work they have put into their learning.

A heartfelt thank you for the thoughtful cards, gifts, and kind messages we have received. Your generosity and appreciation mean so much to us and are truly valued.

We hope you all have a fantastic, relaxing, and safe summer holiday and we look forward to welcoming the children back to school in September.

Have a wonderful summer, and thank you again for being part of such a special year!

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

Head teacher’s update

I am sure that all of those of you who have been lucky enough to see our Year 6 production, “Shakespeare Rocks” will agree with me that it was an absolutely incredible performance! I am blown away by the children’s confidence and talents.  Thank you so much to all of the staff and children who have worked so hard to give us such entertaining performances.  You were fabulous and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Well done to all of our reception and key stage 1 pupils for their super sports day, this week.  We are so pleased to have been able to carry out the main races before it became too hot! It was a lovely atmosphere and a privilege to see all of our children taking part and giving it their all. Well done, children.

We are very sorry that we have had to send out communication that KS2 sports day has had to be postponed until the Autumn Term for years 3 – 5.  Year 6 will have an exclusive sports day on Monday and we hope that a shortened version of events will mean that we can be back in school before it gets too hot.

A huge well done to Evie and Isabelle, in our reception classes.  They have won the art competition hosted by the Diocese. Evie and Isabelle’s art work will now take pride of place in the Bishop of Worcester’s offices.

We also had the pleasure of inviting Canon Tim Reid to our assembly, on Wednesday where we were presented our Church and School Partnership Silver Award in recognition of the partnership of parish and school in supporting the community that we serve.

Children enjoyed their transition morning with their new teachers, this week.  It was helpful to learn everything that children wanted us to know about them, in the “what I want my teacher to know about me” activity.  They have been very interesting and a lot of fun to read.

We have had a lovely day in Weston Super Mare with years 1 and 2, today.  The children really enjoyed putting all of their knowledge about human and physical features, into practice.  Well done for your super behaviour and enthusiasm, year 1 and 2.  You were a pleasure to spend the day with.

Collective Worship

This week, we revisited how we are feeling about navigating our way to the next chapter of education, whether that be to a new school for our year 6 pupils or to a new class, for all of our other children. We thought about where else Christians might find support and comfort regarding new challenges and the children identified the Bible as a source.  Recently, we learned about St Paul the Apostle and how, despite the adversity that he faced, he had written a very large part of the New Testament.  We were able to find the following words of support and guidance that Christians may turn to.

In Philippians 3:13 – 14, Paul writes:​
“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus”.

Kind regards

Years 5 and 6 Design Technology

Today, we started our new design and technology unit, which is based on our geography and history work about South America. We sampled some salsa on tortillas, looked at the ingredients and where they originate from.
