From dazzling dance moves to glittering outfits, every child brought their sparkle to the dance floor. With games and plenty of smiles, it was a magical celebration of fun, friendship, and the joy of summer. A huge thank you to Joe Banana who helped make it such a special event – memories were made that will last all summer long!

• Year 6 Educational Visit to the National Army Museum

  Tue 17 Jun 2025

  Year 6 had a knowledge-filled day of fun at the National Army Museum. We took part in a workshop centred around London during the Blitz and the jobs taken on by civilians to support the war effort - first researching, then presenting. We then had an opportunity to explore the museum’s galleries on a treasure hunt for significant artefacts. Year 6 showed excellent historical knowledge, so much that the helpers at the museum were astounded by everything they knew! Well done, Year 6, for an enthusiastic day of fun and engaging learning!

  We were delighted to celebrate a joyful Going Forth Mass at St Mary and St Ethelburga Parish Church, marking the next step in faith for our First Holy Communion children. The church was filled with pride, prayer and community spirit as we honoured these young members of our school community.

  Their journey continues and we’re so proud of each child for embracing this special milestone. A heartfelt thank you to the families, Father Paul and everyone who made the day so meaningful.

   

  God bless our First Communicants!

  On Thursday 12th June, Year 5 set of on an adventure to explore the past at the British Museum. Each class arrived at the entrance of the Ancient Greek exhibit and began a scavenger hunt that was set thousands of years ago. Using tablets to participate in the challenge via augmented reality, the children searched for ancient artefacts such as the chest of Poseidon, and uncovered the meaning of key vocabulary in the context of history. After that, the completed a more paper based scavenger hunt, completing a quiz using information in displays about ancient Greek childhood, medicine, industry and clothing. It was a fantastic day, and wouldn't have been possible without our wonderful parent helpers!
