This week our school community came together to mark Remembrance Day.
We created time and space for children to pause, reflect and think about the people who have served and sacrificed in times of conflict. At 11 o’clock, pupils and staff observed a two-minute silence, showing great respect and maturity.
Moments like these help children develop empathy, gratitude and an understanding of the importance of peace. ❤️🌺

Miss Deal generously gave up part of her holiday to continue developing additional green spaces across the school grounds. We are now working with experts in biodiversity and environmental sustainability to explore how we can further enhance these areas. Through this work, we aim to embed sustainability within our school ethos and nurture a lasting appreciation of the natural world, helping our children understand their role in caring for the environment for years to come. 🌳🌳🌍

One of today’s life skills sessions focused on decorating biscuits for Remembrance Day.
Through this activity, children developed their fine motor skills, creativity, independence and ability to follow instructions, while practising patience, concentration and working together.
It was also a lovely opportunity to reflect on the importance of Remembrance Day and why we take time to remember those who have served and sacrificed 🌹

One of the greatest strengths of our school is the rich diversity of our community. Today, we spent time recognising and learning about Diwali, the Festival of Lights, which is celebrated by many of our pupils and their families. It was a wonderful opportunity to deepen our understanding, celebrate different cultures and reflect on the values of kindness, hope and togetherness.

We just love celebrating our children’s achievements outside of school! 🌟

Fantastic curiosity and teamwork from our young scientists! 🌟

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has been in touch to offer donations. Your generosity really does mean the world to us, and we are so incredibly grateful.
An extra special thank you to our Headteacher’s husband, the wonderful Mr Riley and daughter , who gave up their Saturday morning to drive all around Nottingham collecting the donations. What absolute stars! ⭐
