Year 4 enjoyed a visit from the Fire Service, learning important fire safety advice and what to do in an emergency. The children learnt about the SPARKS fire safety message, including how to Stop, Drop and Roll if their clothes catch fire. A fantastic opportunity to learn how to stay safe!

A huge thank you to all our parents and carers for your generous Harvest donations! Local foodbanks have told us that, although the cost-of-living crisis continues to increase demand for support, donations have significantly reduced. As a school, we are keen to support our local community wherever we can. All the food items donated will be given to The Thomas Project in Aldridge, helping to support those who need it most. We are incredibly grateful for your kindness and gener

Our Reading Ambassadors have now been chosen for each class! These children have an important role in promoting a love of reading across our school. They will be encouraging their classmates to enjoy books by creating posters, completing book reviews and selecting books for their class reading areas and the school library. Later in the year, they will also help with special events, including World Book Day and Pyjamarama Day. Our Year 5 Reading Ambassadors will be opening the

Over the last couple of days, our children have spent time in assemblies thinking about children and families who may be less fortunate than themselves. Mrs Francis introduced our “Donate a Toy” appeal and explained how we can help bring a little extra joy to children who are facing difficult and traumatic circumstances. Children have been invited, if they are able to, to bring in a new toy, book or wrapping paper to school. All donations will be collected and taken to Beacon

Our Year 6 children absolutely blew our socks off with their incredible performance of Joseph! Their talent, confidence, enthusiasm, and teamwork shone through from start to finish, making it a performance to remember. We are so proud of every single child for their hard work and dedication. What a fantastic way to celebrate the end of their primary school journey—well done, Year 6!

Well done to our Year 2 children, who put on a wonderful performance of Cinderella and Rockerfella. We are so proud of their confidence, enthusiasm, and hard work. They entertained us all with a fantastic show!

Children who have been learning woodwind instruments enjoyed the opportunity to perform and celebrate their achievements from across the year. Their confident performances highlighted the progress they have made and the commitment they have shown.

What a wonderful show! Our Year 4 children put on an outstanding performance of the Greatest Show this week. There were solos, group singing, ensembles, dance routines and many lines to learn and they all did a brilliant job, each and every one. Thank you to families for their support, staff for their commitment and continued hard work and the children for trying their very, very best.

As part of their Geography and D.T. topics, Year 1 went on a walk around the local area. For Geography, they were looking for human features in our local area including houses, shops and a church. For our D.T. Topic 'Shade and Shelter' the children will be creating their own shelter so they went on the walk to identify different types of shelters including garages, carports and sheds.

Our Eco Warriors have been making a real difference in our local community! Equipped with litter pickers and plenty of enthusiasm, the group headed out this week to take part in a litter-picking initiative. The children showed fantastic teamwork and determination as they worked together to clean up the streets! We are proud of their efforts and the positive example they are setting. Well done, Eco Warriors—your actions truly make a difference!

We had some lovely Easter bonnets on parade this week - with our Nursery event on Monday and our Reception event on Tuesday. Our Reception donned their bonnets again on Wednesday for a parade around the school - happily waving through classroom windows at our older children! Thank you for all the creations!

Our Nursery enjoyed a wonderfully festive parent workshop! The session began with the children proudly singing a few Christmas songs for their parents — a lovely way to get everyone into the Christmas spirit. After the singing, families enjoyed a range of Christmas activities together. The children were kept very busy as they: Made reindeer food Decorated baubles and stockings Decorated (and then happily ate!) biscuits, while parents enjoyed a mince pie Explored different Chr

Thank you to all our children and families who made a toy donation this year - you all did SO well! Mrs Francis loaded them all into her car and took then to Beacon Church, ready to be collected and taken to a local refuge. Rev Chris was 'chuffed' with how much school had collected on behalf of the Refuge. They hadn't had many donations this year until he collected from Beacon Church and School on behalf of the local community. They can now help so many children and families

We are incredibly proud of all the children who took part in Reception's Christmas production. Every child sang and performed beautifully, filling the hall with festive cheer and getting us all into the Christmas spirit.
