🎶 What an incredible afternoon of music! 🎶
Our Spring Music Showcase was a huge success, and we couldn't be prouder of the talent on display. From first notes to full harmonies, the progress our students have made is simply outstanding.
Here are some of the highlights:
Year 3 kicked things off with a fantastic performance on the recorder.
Year 4 and Year 5 showed off their skills on the J-Sax, filling the hall with great energy.
Year 6 took it to the next level with impressive ensemble work on the saxophone and clarinet.
Our super Choir absolutely brought the house down with their rendition of ABBA’s Mamma Mia! 🎤✨
A massive thank you to all the parents and families who came out to support the children, your presence makes such a difference. We also want to extend a special thanks to our visiting adult band for joining us and inspiring our young musicians with your performance and to Mrs Glanville and Miss Woodcock for your never ending support and enthusiasm!
Well done, everyone! Keep practicing! 🎷🎸🎹 ... See MoreSee Less

🚗 A Friendly Reminder: Parking With Care 🛑
As we approach the end of a busy term, we want to ensure that our school remains a great neighbour to those living in the streets surrounding us.
We’ve had a few concerns raised recently regarding parking during drop-off and pick-up times. We kindly ask all parents and carers to be mindful of where they leave their vehicles to ensure everyone stays safe and happy.
🏠 Please Be Considerate:
Respect Driveways: Please ensure you are not blocking or parking on our neighbours' private driveways. Even "just for a minute" can cause significant disruption for residents trying to get to work or appointments.
Keep Sightlines Clear: Avoid parking on corners or too close to junctions, as this makes it difficult for children and other drivers to see oncoming traffic.
Pavement Space: Please leave enough room on the path for pushchairs and wheelchairs to pass safely without having to step into the road.
We understand that parking can be a challenge at peak times, and we truly appreciate your cooperation in keeping our community spirit strong and our children safe.
Thank you for your support and for helping us stay on good terms with our wonderful neighbours! 🤝✨ ... See MoreSee Less

⛪ A Beautiful Afternoon at St. John’s Church 🕊️
💖Our hearts are full after a wonderful whole-school visit to St. John’s Church. There is something truly special about gathering our entire school community together in such a peaceful setting.💖
The highlight of the service was undoubtedly the children’s storytelling as they shared the Easter story with such confidence and maturity. But what really brought the house down (or rather, lifted the roof!) was the singing.
🎶 Hearing all those voices joined together was a moment of pure magic. From our youngest learners to our Year 6s, the passion and joy in their singing were enough to give everyone goosebumps!🎶
A huge thank you to:
Father Sam and Joyce at St. John’s for such a warm and "egg-citing" welcome.
Special visitors, Naomi, one of our school governors and Sally our chaplain for celebrating Easter with us .
Our Staff for coordinating a safe and smooth walk for the whole school.
Our children for being such fantastic ambassadors for our school.
It was the perfect way to reflect on the season of hope and new beginnings. 🐣✨ ... See MoreSee Less
