Crazy Hair Day Success! π
Tue 10 Feb 2026We had a fantastic Crazy Hair Day at school, raising money for our School Council. It was wonderful to see so many colourful and creative hairstyles across the school - the effort really was amazing!
A huge thank you to all of the children (and parents!) who got involved and helped make the day such a success. You've helped raised £134 which will go towards the school council's target to raise money for the Angel Star Fish project and our in school project. The creativity on display brought lots of smiles and made it very tricky for our judges.
Congratulations to our Key Stage winners for the best hairstyles:
KS1: Rory
LKS2: Georgie
UKS2: Daniel
Well done to everyone who took part and helped support our School Council!

A Special Visit from the Police π
Thu 05 Feb 2026Year 1 had a very exciting and unexpected visit today from PC Milsom! The children loved learning all about his job as a police officer and had lots of thoughtful questions for him, which he was very happy to answer.
The visit was extra special for Miss Knight, who taught PC Milsom herself when he was in Reception – a lovely full-circle moment. Miss Knight was delighted to see that PC Milsom had achieved his dream of being a police man!
The children were thrilled to head outside to see the police car, where they learned more about how it works. Some even had the chance to press the warning signal and see the blue lights in action, which was a real highlight of the day.
It was a fantastic experience for Year 1 and a brilliant opportunity to learn about people in our community who help keep us safe. A big thank you to PC Milsom for taking the time to visit us!

Years 3 and 4 Egyptian Day
Tue 03 Feb 2026On 3rd February, our Year 3 and Year 4 children had a fantastic Egyptian Day with historian Neil Heasman. The day was packed with exciting, hands-on experiences that really brought their learning to life.
The children had the opportunity to handle replica artefacts, practise writing in hieroglyphics and even take part in a role-play mummification activity. It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm and curiosity throughout the day.
We finished with a special assembly to share what the children had learned. It was lovely to welcome so many families to celebrate their work and achievements.
A memorable and enriching day for everyone involved!

ππ Year 6 Christmas Fair - Financial Literacy in Action π π
Mon 15 Dec 2025As part of their Financial Literacy learning, our Year 6 pupils have been busy planning and running a Christmas Fair for the rest of the school.
Working in groups, the children were given a budget of £10 and were required to pitch their business ideas to Mr Wright in order to secure their £10 investment. Their challenge was to manage their money carefully and aim to make as much profit as possible - they managed to raise a combined total of £362.00!
The fair was a fantastic success! There were delicious homemade cupcakes and biscuits, a range of fun games with exciting prizes, a ‘guess the number of sweets in the jar’ competition, Christmas decoration making and many other festive activities for children to enjoy.
We are incredibly proud of all the children for their creativity, teamwork and hard work throughout the project. A big thank you to all the relatives who popped in to support the event, and for the help given to the children in preparing and setting up for the day.

Year 6 Shine at the Tacchi-Morris Arts Centre Dance Show
Wed 03 Dec 2025Our Year 6 pupils recently had the exciting opportunity to take part in a fantastic dance showcase at the Tacchi-Morris Arts Centre. Over the past few months, the children have been working hard every Friday morning with Premier Education, learning and refining a brilliant dance routine in preparation for the event.
Their dedication truly paid off. Performing in front of an audience of other schools, families and friends, the children delivered a confident and energetic performance. Despite a long day with plenty of waiting backstage, each pupil showed maturity, resilience and team spirit throughout.
We are incredibly proud of all of them. Their enthusiasm, behaviour and talent shone on stage and they represented our school beautifully. A huge well done to Year 6, and a big thank you to Premier Education for their support and expertise.

πAutumn Walkπ
Thu 16 Oct 2025Last Thursday for their ‘WOW Morning’ with Mr Jones, Reception children ventured around Cotford St Luke for an Autumnal walk.
They looked at the colour of the leaves, discussing the different colours of autumn and found it very amusing that the leaves had become crunchy on the ground.
Mr. Jones was SO impressed by Oak Class and how well behaved they were π
