• Maths Day

  Thu 21 May 2026

  We had an exciting and energetic Maths Day! The children had a fantastic time celebrating all things maths, from rocking out in their Times Tables Rock Stars outfits to diving into fun, hands-on number challenges across the school. The enthusiasm and creativity shown by the children (and staff!) was wonderful to see. Whether they were solving tricky puzzles, competing in friendly times tables battles or showing off their best rock star looks, everyone embraced the spirit of the day with joy and determination.

   

  Thank you for your support with costumes, encouragement and helping make maths feel fun and meaningful for our learners. Days like this help build confidence and a love for learning.

• Introducing our new multi-purpose space: The Chestnut Room

  Fri 15 May 2026

  We are thrilled to share that a school meeting room has been transformed into an exciting new multi-purpose space for both children and staff to enjoy. Designed with comfort, creativity and collaboration in mind, after the half term break, the room will offer a ‘home away from home’ feel, featuring a cosy soft sofa area that invites group learning, discussion and reflection in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Alongside this, there are large tables at varying heights to support a wide range of activities, from collaborative projects and creative work to quieter, focused tasks.

   

  An exciting future development for this space is the creation of a dedicated woodwork area, including child‑appropriate woodwork benches. This will further strengthen our Design and Technology provision, giving children valuable hands-on opportunities to design, build and problem-solve. With the support and guidance of staff, children will use the space both individually and in groups, exploring new skills, sharing ideas and, most importantly, having fun. We are incredibly proud to be developing this fantastic new facility and cannot wait to see it come to life as a place of learning, creativity and enjoyment for our whole school community.
