• World Book Day 2025

  Fri 07 Mar 2025

  Everyone at school enjoyed the World Book Day celebrations on Thursday 6th March. It was a joy to see all the children looking fantastic in their pyjamas as they embraced the spirit of the day.

   

  The day was filled with engaging activities and reading sessions that captivated our young readers. To top it off, the PTA kindly provided cookies for the children to enjoy during story time, making the day even more special.

• InnovateHer

  Fri 14 Feb 2025

  Over the last couple of weeks, children in Sycamore, Maple, Hazel, and Poplar took part in an online session with InnovateHer, focused on increasing diversity in the tech industry.
  They discovered just how much technology shapes our daily lives and explored the vast range of careers linked to the tech sector—it's not just about game development! With over 3 million people working in tech in the UK, the industry is full of opportunities.
  The session also highlighted the importance of diversity and inclusion in tech, helping the children understand why a variety of perspectives make the industry stronger and more innovative.
  It was a fantastic experience that really opened their eyes to future possibilities! 🚀💻

• EKO Robotics Challenge

  Thu 21 Nov 2024

  This week, four of our classes took part in the incredible EKO Robotics Challenge delivered by Hyett Education!
