  • Some of the highlights from Swanage 2016!

    Fri 07 Oct 2016 Mrs Dummer

    Mr Potts, Mr Latheron, Mr Coughlan and Ms Marden are all so very proud of the achievements of our wonderful year 6s who have been with them this week. Despite an ongoing battle with the late night chatting and early risers the teachers have reported excellent things about the week. We look forward to welcoming them back after lunch today.

  • Year 6 Swanage trip Day Two update

    Wed 05 Oct 2016 Mrs Dummer
    The children have had an amazing day despite a lack of sleep for some. It seems that the sea air is not having the affect on the children that our poor adults may have hoped... Sun, sea and sleepless nights! Everyone is safe and well so we cannot complain.
  • More from Swanage

    Tue 04 Oct 2016 Mrs Dummer
    Our inboxes have been filled with wonderful photographs of the amazing memories that are being made on the Year 6 residential journey this week.
  • Year 6 Swanage Arrival

    Mon 03 Oct 2016 Mr Latheron

    The children were very well behaved for lunch and arrived safely in Swanage. They were mesmerized by their first sight of the sea - a clear view of the Isle of Wight over the English Channel.

    We are all looking forward to the many adventures that are planned this week.
    All the best for now!
     

  • Sport Relief

    Fri 18 Mar 2016 Miss Tayler

    What a great day we have had for Sport Relief! Thank you to everyone that dressed up in their sports gear today and brought in their £1 to raise money for this fantastic cause.  Children took part in the Sport Relief mile (12 laps of the playground!) and the obstacle course with our fabulous PE coach Mr Plummer.

     

    In class, children have looked at why raising money for charity is important, as well as how the Sport Relief money is used.

     

    As a school we raised over £250 for Sport Relief which is amazing – thank you and well done everyone!

     

    Below are a few photos of the day – the children had a wonderful time!

  • Book Week

    Fri 04 Mar 2016

    This week we have had a tremendous book week. The children have taken part in drama workshops and seen a West End musical production in the school hall. Reception and nursery had a special story teller in which they really enjoyed. They have also done lots of work in class and designed a picture book for Mrs Dummer's baby!
