On 10th December, we’re keeping it simple and sweet—there's no need for donations, just wear your most fabulous Christmas jumper to school!

And don’t forget, a delicious Christmas Dinner will be served in the Dining Room! 🌟

Can’t wait to see everyone’s jumpers and enjoy some great food together!

Dear Parent/Carer

As part of our commitment to offer ‘Education with Character’ your child will have the opportunity to watch a performance of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ on Wednesday, 19th November 2025 in school.

This is sure to be a wonderful experience for all!

To allow us to offer this, please can you provide £5.00 to cover the expense of the performance. Please pay and on the arbor app/parent portal.

If you do not wish your child to watch this performance, please contact the school office.

If you have any questions, please speak to your child’s teacher.

Thank you for your continued support.

Ms Elliott

Principal

On Tuesday 11th November and Tuesday 18th November please can all the Y4 children bring extra clothing to wear over their swimming kits as they will be having a water safety session. Many thanks

Good morning, families!

We’re excited to share that our children are having a blast during playtime, and the OPAL project is really taking off! This week, we’re on the lookout for any old musical instruments, wellies and kitchen utensils you no longer use. If you've got any spare items lying around, we’d be absolutely thrilled to give them a new life in our play sessions!

Also, don’t forget to check out some fun snapshots of the kids enjoying their lunchtime activities from last week!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support! You truly make our community awesome!

Over the last few weeks, our fabulous Y4 classes have been having a blast at Shirebrook Valley Nature Reserve! We've been sharpening our map skills, embarking on a fun scavenger hunt, crafting cozy habitats for hibernating animals, and soaking up the beauty of autumn. 🍁✨

It's been a wonderful way to explore nature and learn together! 🦊🌼
