Thank you to everyone that supported our Harvest Festival in Church. The children did an excellent job of presenting songs and poems on the Harvest Theme and we managed to donate 33.4 kg of food to the foodbank. Thank you to everyone for their support.

Congratulations to Sycamore House for winning sports day 2026. All the children in the school participated with enthusiasm and showed great sportsmanship. Well done to everyone.
Usually, we elect new house captains in September, however we are having a refresh in school!
We will be having four new houses from September as our current houses are very uneven and we thought it would be good to have a change. Our new houses will be Ash, Birch, Hawthorn and Rowan. These are still all native English trees and link to our themes throughout the school.
We have also held our elections and appointed our house captains and deputies for September already! This so they can be trained up for their roles by the outgoing house captains and deputies. They have been paired up but do not know which house they will be in yet. Congratulations to:
David and Ivy
Scarlett and Flossy
Beau and Phoebe
Theo and Alora
