Whole School Events
Welcome to our whole school events page!
We would like to share some of the extra-curricular learning that we all take part in as a school community. These range from special themed days/weeks to charity events. It's all part of our aim to provide our children with a curriculum that is purposeful, current and valued.

Road Safety Awareness
Last week was our “Road Safety Awareness” week. With the evenings getting darker, we want our children to know how to keep themselves safe. Our slogan “Be bright, be seen!” threaded through the week.
Our junior Road Safety Officers, Flynn and William, helped to lead the run and judge our competition and answer children’s questions.
Children were taught how to keep safe in assemblies, PSHE and ICT lessons. We held a competition for the best ”Be bright, be seen!” helmet or rucksack design and Isabelle was the winner. Congratulations Isabelle!
