  We had our final assembly earlier today, where we celebrated all the wonderful accomplishments our children made this year.

We also rewarded pupils for shining bright in areas such as science, mathematics, writing, French, sport, music and whole school contribution. The celebrations did not end there; our teachers (nominated and voted for by pupils) won the 'Funny Teacher Awards' in areas such as; coolest, calmest, loudest, funniest, strictest and best dressed. We would like to wish our children, families and staff a wonderful summer break! See you all again in September!

• Murder Mystery!

  Tue 08 Jul 2025

  On Tuesday we went on a trip to Bankside to crack some codes. We had a sheet of paper including clues to help us figure out who committed a fictional murder. The hints were shown on buildings or plaques. We saw many different monuments and shops from the Georgian period (1600-1700). Our main mission was to read the clues from the plaques and sheets then each clue gave a hint as to who we needed to eliminate as a suspect.This trip helped us with our code breaking skills.

  On a wonderful Tuesday, we went on an amazing treasure hunt at Bankside and figured out different kinds of variations of clues on our sheets of paper, to work out who was innocent, who was a fictional murderer and exploring different kinds of places to find some more clues. In the end, we didn't finish it in time, however we had the jolliest time and went to many places which made me really happy.

  We went on a treasure hunt to track down a fictional culprit; there were many clues to consider as we walked around. We had to find answers to mysterious riddles and we had to find things like plaques, monuments and even initials that blended into our surroundings, which was very exciting but also a bit difficult.
