Friday 6 June 2025 Pentecost Service What a joyful start to the day we had at the United Reformed Chapel to celebrate Pentecost - the birthday of the church. Year 5 led us in worship magnificently by telling the story of Pentecost, reciting a choral poem and performing a song. Year 3’s ribbon dance brought further joy we were transfixed watching them perform a dance to a wonderful version of Amazing Grace. Thank you to all the parents who joined us.

Thursday 13 February 2025 School Artefacts You may have noticed that we have a new cabinet in the corridor in which are displayed some of the old school log books and a punishment book from the mid 19th and early 20th centuries. I have been sharing some of the entries with the children. I’m sure you can imagine how the ‘Punishment book’ has been a great source of fascination for some. It is interesting to see how the misdemeanours of the past are just as relevant today, such as attendance and punctuality! Mercifully, the cane is no longer in action! Do come and look at the books; they are so interesting to see evidence of our Victorian School.

Wednesday 18 December 2024 Carol Service The carol service was standing room only on Monday evening. What a joyful event it was from the opening solo of Once in Royal sung by Willow to the uplifting sound of the organ with the augmented school orchestra at the end! The choirs (Key Stage 1, 2 and the adults) all performed with panache and we were delighted to have readers drawn from the whole school community including the CEO, Gary Lewis, of our Trust. The staff chime bar group delighted the congregation to a version of 'We Three Kings' and Reception hand-signed Silent Night with confidence to the accompaniment of the harp. Over £170 was raised from the collection. Thank you for your generosity which will contribute to the running of the church.

Friday 10 November 2023 Remembrance 2023 This morning we held a special Remembrance service in the hall with the whole community of the school. War poetry was read by children in Year 6, we sang, ‘Abide with me’ and we held two minutes of silence after presenting our poppy wreaths which each class had made. It was a very moving service and a fitting tribute on this commemoration of Armistice day. We discussed how we can make a positive difference to our world now and uphold the important values we all share. We also listened to some reflective music. The children were a credit to the school, from Reception to Year 6!

Thursday 3 November 2022 Church Day - Heroes and Saints On Thursday, the children had a fantastic 'Church Day' at the beautiful All Saints Church; the focus of the day being 'Heroes and Saints'. The children were told stories about the saints represented in the church and were shown the stunning stained-glass window depicting St Francis of Assisi. They also learnt about the local heroine, Hannah Moore. The children visited different work stations and enjoyed a variety of activities and discussions. One of the highlights was creating their own 'stained-glass window' depicting one of the heroes or saints that they had learnt about during their visit. We would like to give a huge thankyou to Rev David Gent, Rev Andrew Hemming and all the volunteers at All Saints Church for giving the children such an informative and enjoyable day, and also to the parents who helped to walk us safely to and from the church
