A win, deserved! Dodgeballs falling like rain

Year 6 dodging like a man insane

No one stood still, but what a thrill!

Goodness Gracious, Great Balls of Dodge!

Last night, Year 6 graced the hall with their dodgeball prowess for our first House Dodgeball competition of the new academic year, showing off not only their athletic skills but also their wonderful house values of determination, perseverance and friendship. Despite a tough battle, Spider house emerged victorious! Well done to all houses that competed. For more pictures from the competition, please see our gallery

Each week, during our Friday Achievement assembly, we celebrate our ‘Pupils of the Week’ from each year group. Pupils are recognised for this weekly award for a variety of reasons and are nominated by their class teacher. They may have excelled in a particular subject through the week; may have shown one, or more, of the school values in abundance, or they may have impressed their teacher, or other staff members with a huge amount of effort. Whatever they are nominated for, they are recognised in the whole school achievement assembly, receive a certificate to take home and get to wear one of our prestigious black and gold t-shirts. 
During the assembly, we also celebrate children who have 100% attendance for the week and have been in school every day on time. A lucky dip, of all children who are eligible takes place, and one pupil walks away with £5 to spend on whatever they want, Standards and presentation of a child’s book, chosen at random, are also reviewed and celebrated with the school and the child, whose book has been chosen, has the chance to win a dip out of the basket of goodies, as long as they have used their best handwriting every day, completed their feed forward marking and taken care in the presentation of their date and learning objective. We are extremely proud of all of the efforts of our pupils and the Friday Achievement assembly recognises this pride.

A Family Hub is a place where children, young people and families can go for services, advice and to meet other families. Raising a family, being a parent or carer, or navigating life as a young person can be a challenge, so staff in the hubs can put you in touch with different services in the area.

Family Hubs are open to everyone and there will always be a safe space available for you if you need it.

On Friday, the Year 6s started off their year by having a Victorian Day. They learnt all about the life of a child in the Victorian era - having their hands checked for dirt before entering the classroom and some children even paying a shilling to come in for the day. Throughout the morning, the children all participated in the 3 Rs (Reading, Writing and Arithmetic), as well as reciting the alphabet backwards! In the afternoon, the children learnt all about Queen Victoria herself before trying out some technical drawing of Osborne House. It was a brilliant day, and all the children were well-behaved!

Reception had a fantastic time at Hatton Country World. The children completed lots of different fun activities throughout the day. These included; tractor ride, feeding animals, holding animals and adventure playground. We all had a great day!
