Be Ready – Girls’ football match and tournament
Thu 23 Apr 2026The girls in year 5 and 6 have had a busy week of football. The girls played against Abbey Road on Monday and although they lost, played some excellent football. Yesterday, we took 2 teams to the Rushcliffe Spring tournament. Both teams played really well and enjoyed their afternoon. The year 6 team drew one game and were narrowly defeated in the other games. The year 5 team were close contenders in their group but didn’t quite get through. A superb afternoon of football. Thanks to Ms Hewitt for taking the team and to the parents for supporting the girls and for offering lifts too.

Be Kind – Assembly this week
Thu 23 Apr 2026This week, our senior leader assembly was focussed on the protected characteristic of religion or belief and the British Values of mutual respect and tolerance. I started by asking the children why they felt it was important that we learnt about different religions at school. George, in year 3, stated, “So we know what people do and how they celebrate festivals and their beliefs”. Nancy, in year 4 stated, “So we do not discriminate against people due to their belief, faith, religion or god.” Two really sensible and mature responses. We then focused on the Jewish festival of Passover. We talked about where the term ‘Passover’ came from and discussed what they knew about the story of Moses. We discussed how Jewish people celebrate Passover and why it is an important time It was a really interesting assembly and a great way to share how Jewish people celebrate their faith

Be Ready – Year1 trip to Yorkshire Wildlife Park
Fri 17 Apr 2026To support their topic on Animals, the children in year 1 visited the Yorkshire Wildlife Park yesterday and what an incredible day it was. The Year 1 children enjoyed a fabulous day out at Yorkshire Wildlife Park! The sun was shining and all the animals came out to enjoy the sunshine. We were so lucky. The children managed to control their escalating excitement levels whilst seeing Polar Bears, Leopards, Giraffes and Lions very close up! We even got to enjoy seeing a baby Wallaby in the mother’s pouch.
It was rewarding to see all the children enjoying the day and observe their facial expressions as they bravely touched a Corn Snake, held a Hissing Cockroach and a Giant Snail. The behaviour of all the children was fantastic and they can be very proud of themselves. Thank you for your smiles, interesting contributions to discussions on different animals and your positivity throughout the day! We are looking forward to our next trip already
