We held our annual school summer fete on 4th July with all who attended enjoying lots of activities in the sunshine and raising lots of money for the school. It was lovely to see so many familiar, but also new, faces come to the school to be a part of the day. There were lots of smiles as the children enjoyed bouncing on a bouncy castle, beating the goalie in a penalty shootout and winning lots of prizes on tombola’s and in the games zone. The children also enjoyed a new hobby horse competition! Thank you to our Friends of the School team for arranging it and for all our past and present pupils and parents who helped us with running stalls on the day; it is a vital fundraiser for the school. Our Friends of the School team also organised an end of term disco for the children. 80% of the school attended this hot event, enjoying music, dancing and of course the snacks. 

We managed to get our sports day completed during the heatwave, making the most of the early morning cooler hours. The children loved taking part in a range of fun activities before taking part in optional races. St Andrews house group won this hotly contested event. Great sportsmanship was on show throughout the event, with all the children from varying year groups supporting and encouraging each other to try their best. Thank you to all the parents for showing great support on the day and for their help in packing away at the end of the event. 

Our Year 6 children enjoyed their residential to the Caldecotte experience, all sporting their new leavers hoodies. The children took part in a range of adventurous activities such as paddle boarding, kayaking, rock climbing and archery. They showed resilience and courage as they tackled these new challenges especially as they were exhausted on day two after a lack of sleep, the boys in particular!   

Finally, as we look ahead to the autumn term, we have recently welcomed the children and parents of children who will be starting with us in EYFS in September for an information evening and for our settling in visits. The children have settled in really well and enjoyed their time exploring their new classroom and getting to know their new class friends. We’re looking forward to September when we can welcome them in fully.
