📜✨ Anglo Saxon Day Success in Year 4! ✨🛡️
Last half term, Year 4 travelled back in time for an incredible Anglo Saxon Day! We were lucky to be joined by a special Anglo Saxon from the Newcastle Castle outreach team, who led a full day of hands-on workshops.
The children had an amazing time exploring:
🔍 Real Anglo Saxon artefacts
📖 Fascinating storytelling
⚔️ Thrilling reenactments
🛠️ Creative and interactive activities
It was a fantastic way to bring history to life and deepen their understanding of the Anglo Saxon era. A big thank you to Newcastle Castle for an unforgettable experience! ... See MoreSee Less

🎶 A Special Farewell for a School Legend 🎶
After years of dedication, early starts and countless repairs, our incredible caretaker Mr Morton is retiring. He's been the heart of our school in so many quiet, meaningful ways - and we couldn't let him leave without a proper send-off.
So we wrote him a song. 💙
From all of us at James Knott, thank you, Mr Morton, for everything. You've left a mark on this place that won’t ever fade.

📚✨ SATs Week for Year 6! ✨📚
This week, our amazing Year 6 pupils are taking their SATs - and we couldn’t be prouder of their effort, resilience and spirit! 🌟
However, there’s so much more to them than a test can measure:
🧠 SATs don’t measure their creativity,
💬 They don’t show their kindness or love,
🎨 They miss their talents in art and sport,
🎭 Or how wonderfully they commit!
SATs are just a small part of their journey and they've already achieved so much.
Believe in yourself - we certainly do! You've got this, Year 6! 🎉💛 ... See MoreSee Less
