Events

At our school our children have a wealth of school trips, events, outdoor learning and residentials. These are a major contributor to good health and mental well being for our children. Children taking part in activities often display improvements in their resilience, self-confidence, and their ability to get on with and relate to peers, which in turn boosts their sense of belonging. Team-work builds trust, as well as skills such as collaboration and communication – all of which supports attentiveness, concentration, and performance in the classroom.

Black History Month

As part of Black History Month, our Cedar House Captains and Faith Councillor led a powerful and inspiring worship. They shared the stories of Black individuals whose lives reflect resilience, hope, and strength, reminding us of the importance of honouring and learning from these voices. We reflected on how these stories connect with Joseph’s journey in the Bible, especially the symbolism of Joseph’s stones—each one representing a part of his path and God’s purpose. This meaningful learning continued in our classrooms through a range of thoughtful and engaging activities such as the ones shown in Year 4 where they learnt about Martin Luther King Jr. and created their own “I Have a Dream” inspired posters.

WearGoldDay – Supporting Childhood Cancer Awareness

Today, our school came together to support Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The children looked fantastic in gold, and the day was filled with inspiring moments.
In the morning, worship was led by Miss Whittaker, supported by Max and Finley, who shared their journey and meaningful items, including Olly the Brave and the book Olly Being Brave and Chemotherapy.
Class 6 organised a Bake Sale in the afternoon, raising an amazing £327.35! Funds will be split between CCLG (Children & Young People’s Cancer Association) and Ward E39 at QMC, where Max and Finley received their treatment.
A huge thank you to everyone who baked, sold, and supported – your generosity is making a real difference! 🎗️
