Today has been the first day of lockdown learning 2021...

The STEM challenge has been a real highlight of the week and it was lovely to see the children's amazing tree creations as they followed their brief in mixed age groups. We've had lots of support with project this from donations of card and other supplies to hands-on assistance for our younger children. All groups should feel so proud of their efforts! The winning teams will be going on to represent the school at the regional finals. Thank you to Mrs. Whitehouse for leading this project.

We continue to follow the expert guidance given by Public Health England and we are having various daily updates from other official scientific and educational bodies. We are also in communication with other schools...

The Dance Festival ‘Dance Their Socks Off' was, again, a triumph. The children in Year 5 performed magnificently on stage at the Playhouse on Tuesday evening. Well done to them all and thank you to the Academy for organising such a successful event.

I am delighted to be able to tell you news of the public speaking competition yesterday...

What a fun-packed week we have enjoyed full of exciting events. We had a wonderful day celebrating World Book Day on Thursday and the costumes which were crafted were truly amazing! The children enjoyed various book activities during the day including Mrs. Bowker's famous quiz for KS2. The children excelled themselves with their knowledge of books and characters!

Good luck to our two Youth Speaks teams who are taking part in this Rotary public speaking competition this evening.

We are looking forward to World Book day tomorrow. Have you got your costume ready? We have all sorts of fantastic activities...
