It has been lovely to hear how the children enjoyed their special time with their families this past week, celebrating Eid.

We've been having a great time back in school, with our EYFS children enjoying our new garden equipment!

The rain hasn’t stopped us today!

The children in EYFS have enjoyed stomping in muddy puddles and have been putting their puddle suits to the test - great jumping everyone!

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our fair this week

The turnout was fantastic and we managed to raise a profit of £325 as a school.

We are going to ask our Academy Council what they would like to spend this money on so please watch this space for their decisions.
