Head teacher’s message
Dear family,
Welcome all to our new website! Our new website launched just before the holidays and we are very pleased with how it is coming along. We hope that it will become a useful point of reference for parents and visitors. We are still in the process of adding all of the useful information, so please bear with us while we continue to work on it. Please do feel free to explore and check back regularly to see the updates. Newsletters will now be produced on the website and a link will be sent by text each Friday for you to access them.
It has been a positive start to the new half term. We have had a very productive and busy week, as you will be able to see from our class pages. This morning in praise assembly, we celebrated a lot of writing from across the school. There were also a lot of medals, certificates and badges to celebrate from out of school activities.

Collective Worship week beginning 24.2.25
This week, we were delighted to have our assembly led by Father Chris Smith. As it is the first assembly of the half term, it was a Core Value focus. This half term, we will be focusing on our Core Value of Forgiveness. Father Chris told us the story of Jacob and Esau, and how Esau found it in his heart to forgive his brother Jacob.
School Eucharist
Father Adam will be leading our School Eucharist at 9:00am on Monday 3rd March. Members of our school community who wish to take communion are very welcome to join us.
World Book Day 2025
To mark World Book Day on Thursday, March 6th this year, we aim to celebrate reading, which is always at the forefront of our curriculum, with an exciting range of events designed to inspire our students to read for pleasure. Our goal is to spark a genuine love for reading by encouraging every child to discover new titles and explore different genres.
Throughout the day, each class will engage in various reading-related activities, offering plenty of opportunities for students to enjoy stories in fresh and fun ways.
As always, there is no expectation to spend money! We will be hosting a Book Swap Station where children can bring in one book they no longer need and exchange it for one they have never read before. To take part, all we ask is that the book your child brings is in good condition and free from any markings or writing. This is a fantastic chance for students to refresh their bookshelf and enjoy a new adventure in reading!
For more details, be sure to check out our website and Facebook posts for updates on our World Book Day events. Thank you for your continued support as we celebrate the magic of reading together.

The Great Fire of London
History
‘The Great Fire of London!’ – Our new topic for this half term
The children in Year 1 and 2 have started to explore timber houses and structures that were in London in 1666. As the weeks go on, the children will learn more about the catastrophic event that erupted on the 2nd of September 1666, in a small bakery on Pudding Lane, situated near London Bridge. They will explore the suitability of materials and their resistance to fire and make a product that has a door hinge incorporated within it. They will evaluate the suitability of these and we hope to invite the fire service in to demonstrate and discuss the risk of, and the speed that fire can spread across buildings!
