  • Loughton School Tees Up Something New: Golf Has Arrived!

    Published 25/06/26

    We are thrilled to announce that golf is now part of the sporting offer at Loughton School — and our pupils are already loving it!

    Golf remains a relatively rare addition to primary school sports programmes, making this an exciting and progressive step for our school community. At Loughton School, we believe in giving children access to a wide and varied range of physical activities, and golf is a wonderful sport that builds focus, patience, coordination, and confidence.

    Our budding golfers have wasted no time getting creative. As part of Golf Club, children have been designing their very own golf courses — bringing imagination and teamwork into the mix from day one.

    Whether your child is a complete beginner or already showing an interest in the sport, Golf Club is a fantastic opportunity to try something new and develop skills they can enjoy for a lifetime.

  • Years 3–5 Bring our courtyard to life with summer planting.

    Published 05/05/26

    Children from Years 3, 4 and 5 have been busy planting in the courtyard today as part of our summer refresh and we hope that you will agree that they have done a fantastic job! We planted strawberries, herbs, lavender and lots of insect-friendly plants. The children learnt about the different herbs and tried smelling them all. They were particularly keen on the mint, which everyone agreed smelled like toothpaste!

  • Taking Flight by Antonio Pasin

    Published 04/05/26

    Taking Flight is a short film inspired by the life and heritage of Antonio Pasin, inventor of the Radio Flyer wagon. It depicts a boy’s adventure that transforms into a larger-than-life journey.

    For the last couple of weeks, year 4 have been studying the story of Grandpa Nono and the adventures he takes his grandson, Tony, on – traipsing through a jungle full of monkeys, cascading over a high waterfall down to a fast-flowing river, soaring through the skies, fighting aliens…

    The children worked together on creating sentences to retell the story using their most adventurous and exciting vocabulary, descriptive powers and high-level punctuation. Individually, they have been asked to write their own adventures that this unlikely pair of explorers set out on.

    Why don’t you watch the film ( Bing Videos ) with your child and then ask them about the adventures that they have described in their stories? Perhaps, you could describe what adventures you could picture them undertaking. Take this opportunity to share both your thoughts, descriptions and let your imaginations run riot.

  • Celebrating our young musicians’ success

    Published 05/03/26

    On Tuesday, our peripatetic violin and cello students had the exciting opportunity to perform in front of a large audience in a professional setting, in line with the aims of the National Plan for Music Education.

    Our violinists and cellists did an amazing job. They were all brilliant, performing and speaking with confidence on stage. One group was even recognised with an Enthusiasm Award, highlighting their positive attitude and dedication.

    This achievement is especially inspiring, as these students balance lessons during the school day with regular practice at home, showing real commitment to progressing to the next level of their musical journey.

    We are incredibly proud of their hard work and determination and look forward to seeing their continued growth.

    For any parents interested in signing their child up for music lessons, please do not hesitate to get in touch with MK Music Coop by clicking here. 

    Well done to all our talented young musicians!
