Our Year 5/6 boys’ football team played an away match against Croft Academy. The game was closely contested throughout; however, the boys were beaten 3–0. Our team found it challenging to adapt to the small, compact astroturf pitch, which played extremely quickly. Despite this, the boys showed great determination and teamwork.

Children in Year 5 enjoyed an immersive experience where they learnt all about Anglo Saxon life and the Battle of Hastings. Children explored Saxon artefacts, took part in a Witan council meeting and played traditional Anglo Saxon and Viking games. Children also used spears and shields to reenact the Battle of Hastings!

Autumn Term 2025 Dear Parents and Carers Summer seems like a distant memory as we wonder where this term had gone! It has been a long and busy Autumn term, packed with events and activities.

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

Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed their coding workshop with Engagedu. The children had a fantastic time learning how to create simple algorithms to move a character on the screen. They showed great enthusiasm, problem-solving skills, and excellent teamwork as they explored the basics of coding in a fun and engaging way.

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.

A Year 5/6 girls and boys athletics team went to Streetly Academy to take part in a Sports Hall Athletics event. Everyone tried their hardest, performed really well and above all, enjoyed the event. They competed against 4 other schools.

The choir brought some festive cheer to the Collingwood Centre this week. They performed a selection of songs for the Lunch Group, filling the room with seasonal spirit. They also sang for a group of adults with additional needs and their carers, who had been invited over from the library. It was a wonderful opportunity for our pupils to share their music with the wider community and to help spread a little joy at this special time of year.

Our School Council enjoyed a wonderful afternoon visiting the Mayor’s Parlour. The children had the opportunity to meet the Mayor, learn about her role within the community, and ask thoughtful questions. They were also given a special tour of the Council Chamber, where official council meetings take place. The visit was both inspiring and informative, giving our School Council members a closer look at how local democracy works. To top off the experience, the children were del
