Sports Day 2023

8/7/2023

Health week culminated in our annual Sports Day, a fantastic event held at Ladywell Arena athletics track. The children were thrilled to compete at this specialist athletics arena and to race on the running track. The children competed in their teams at Sports Day, completing seven athletic challenges and a sprint race. It was also wonderful to welcome our parents to cheer their children on and take part in a tug of war and parent’s races. Congratulations to our winning teams, in KS1 the champions were the YELLOW team and in KS2 the RED team, both winning with record scores!

Health Week

School Council Summit

28/6/2023

The School Council attended the School Council Summit at John Stainer Primary School to share some of the great work that our school council and other school councils have been doing over the year.
We had a tour of the school and had playtime in their playground. This was followed by a session looking at the resilience celebrities have displayed in their lifetimes, and we found words to describe their qualities. We then created amazing pieces of artwork - one of which is currently displayed in the school office so do take a look!
After lunch on the rooftop garden, all the schools shared presentations about what they have done over the past year. Our School Council had lots to share, including their trip to Parliament, their campaigning for better housing and their recent collection during Refugee Week.
