• Jodie Williams Visits our School

  Fri 15 May 2026

  Today, Olympic medalist Jodie Williams visited our school. She led a fitness circuit with pupils from Reception to Year 6, before leading a whole school assembly. Pupils and staff found the story of Jodie's sports journey very inspirational, including the quote: 'Keep Moving, Keep Believing', something Jodie firmly lives by. Parents/carers are reminded that they can still sponsor our pupils for taking part. Please ensure all money raised is given to school by Friday 22nd May. We would like to thank Jodie as well as Great Athletes for a wonderful day!

  

• Year 5 Visits the Museum of London, Docklands

  Fri 01 May 2026

  Instead of sitting in our classroom, the children and staff in year 5 headed down to the Museum of London, Docklands today to see what life was like during WW2, specifically the Blitz. It was pretty surreal to stand inside an old warehouse that actually survived the war while we explored recreated war streets.

  This week our reception children took to the stage a wonderful sharing assembly all about minibeasts and plant life cycles.

• Maths Championships

  Fri 24 Apr 2026

  Over the last two days, some of our children in KS2 had an opportunity to participate in the Maths Championships at Lathom Junior School. Our pupils had to put their problem solving skills to the test to tackle puzzles across a range of topics, such as area and perimeter, polygons, lines of symmetry, pattern spotting, using accurate mathematical language, to name but a few. They had to use effective communication skills and work together as a group. It was a wonderful two days, filled with marvellous mathematics! 

   

  

• Year 2 Visits Valentines Park

  Thu 23 Apr 2026

  This week, year 2 visited Valentines Park to carry out a research activity. We explored and observed different plants, trees and flowers and recognised the difference between deciduous and evergreen trees. We discussed the conditions in which the plants are growing and linked our observations to what plants need to grow. We also compared plants growing in the light and in the shade. Finally, we identified which plants were seeds and which were bulbs and discussed how the park might look different in winter compared to spring.
