As part of our PSHE enrichment this term, eight children from Years 4 and 5 had the wonderful opportunity to visit St Mark’s Meals who are a local charity that provides meal boxes for families who may need a little extra support. During the visit, the children learned about the charity’s mission and the important role it plays within our community.
A big congratulations to our fantastic Year 3 pupils who have been awarded stars for consistently showing our five core values: resilience, respect, creativity, independence, and inspiration.
We are incredibly proud of the effort you put in each day, the positive choices you make, and the way you embody our school values. Keep up the amazing work, Year 3 — you’re doing brilliantly!
In the spirit of the festive season, our pupils spent time exploring a much-loved tradition that encouraged both creativity and thoughtful discussion.

Our School Council had a wonderful time at lunchtime today decorating our Christmas Giving Tree. The children threw themselves into the festive spirit, and we’re sure you’ll agree that the tree looks absolutely brilliant!
As we enter this season of kindness and community, we’d love your support with our Christmas Giving appeal. We are collecting gift donations for children aged 0–18, with a special focus on teenagers, who are often the most overlooked at this time of year.
Donations can be brought into school from now until Friday 5th December. These will then be delivered to the local Children’s Centre on Monday 8th December.
What can you donate?
Items could include toys, books, scarves, hats, gloves, toiletries and other small gifts (please avoid anything battery operated). All items should be new or in “as new” condition. We are also collecting wrapping paper, gift tags and tape.
Please note that gifts should not be wrapped, as this allows parents to choose the most suitable items for their children.
Your generosity will make a real difference to local families this Christmas, and we are incredibly grateful for your support of this meaningful cause.
Thank you for helping us spread some festive cheer!
A huge well done to our wonderful Year 3 pupils who have earned stars for consistently demonstrating our five core values — resilience, respect, creativity, independence, and inspiration.
We are so proud of your hard work, positive attitude, and commitment to living our school values every day. Keep shining brightly, Year 3!
Well done to all those children who have received house tokens for their creative writing this week.

Today, sixteen of our young writers gathered together to find out what makes a home for us all. We read a lovely book by Joe Todd-Stanton called "The Comet" which told the story of Nyla who has to leave her home in the country for a city high-rise when her dad needs to find work.
