Quiz Champions at Last!

After nearly seven years of trying, the staff team have finally brought the quiz trophy home!

We are incredibly proud of our efforts, from building the tallest tower challenge to putting our general knowledge to the test. However, the true highlight of the evening came during the tie-break dance-off, where Miss Lea's spectacular dance moves helped secure the winning title!

A huge thank you to the VSA for putting on a brilliant night and raising funds for our school.

When we return after half term, our Kindness Ambassadors will be on duty at the school door to welcome children with a warm smile and friendly greeting.

This is part of our continued focus on promoting kindness, inclusion and a strong sense of community across the school. We are proud of the positive role our ambassadors play in helping everyone feel welcome and valued.

We look forward to seeing you all after the break!

Quiz Night

A huge thank you to quiz master extraordinaire Mark Bayley for organising and hosting a fantastic quiz night last Friday! We hope everyone who came had a great time, and a big well done to the teachers’ team, who took home the trophy. Homework clearly pays off! We raised an amazing £2,400 (after expenses) for the school - so thank you all!

We also tried something new this year: a wishlist put together by Mrs Freeman and the teachers, packed with things the school needs, from new library books to Kapla blocks, coloured card to Lego. People could donate money to “tick off” items and make them happen. A massive thank you to our generous wishlist heroes (and a few who wish to remain anonymous): Sarah Wade, Julie Neill, Steph Orsten, Nicole Edwards, Caroline Weston, Kate Fairman, Ben Conolly, Niclas Thomas, Ali Naismith, Laura Preston and Jess & James.
