Well what a year it has been. My final year at my school has been filled with incredible successes, lessons for the future and unforgettable memories.

✅ Outstanding SATS (and writing) results from my year group comfortably above the national average (13% to 17% above)

✅Y6 Athletics (Quad-Kids) Team reached the county finals;Y3/4 team won our area for the same event
✅Continued to run PE lunch initiatives to drive sport for all: Staff v Student Week, School Sport Week, School Football week
✅ A well-received production of Shrek the Musical Jr

With our Y6 performance of Shrek The Musical JR to parents on Friday, it feels right to show our new door display. The children have created such brilliant work, which we completed the day after our trip to see it in the Theatre!

Organising Sports Day is no small feat so

My 3 key wins to help another PE leader:

🔹Walkie Talkies- I didn’t get off it all day 🤣
🔹Coloured Spray Paint- for each house as markers
🔹Detailed Staff Packs- everyone knew where they needed to be, what they were doing, and when

Sports Day 2025 ✅- I am grateful that I was able to put on a fun, successful and well-received day for all 480 pupils in my school (2 weeks ago)!

It was hot, it was hectic, it was stressful, but it was absolutely worth it.

The rabbits out the hat: so excited to be moving to Dubai in August to continue my teaching career! A new challenge awaits and I can’t wait to get started! 🇦🇪👨🏽‍🏫

This week, I organised and ran a week of football fun for @Pokemon #SchoolsFootballWeek across every lunchtime. Over 150 children took part in challenges & sessions to promote a love for the game! All the Children from Y3-6 all loved it- a big success #SFW2025 @SchoolsFootball

Children did some #BlackHistoryMonth artwork recently focusing on reclaiming narratives. We looked at many inspirational black people and presented our work using Vogue style covers. What do you think @Edward_Enninful @KSI
I may be bias, but I have talented artists in my class!!

[Mr Bower @MrBower_]

Residential starting tomorrow! Despite not being the overall group leader 😮‍💨, I’m leading the day to day running of the trip! Wish me luck 🤣 Memories for a lifetime for the children

[Mr Bower @MrBower_]

Spent the day sorting out and getting rid of a lot of water from the outdoor PE container after flash floods in our local area last week. Good chance to give it a good tidy at the same time- I’ll give it 1 week tho!
