• 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.
