Rights Respecting Schools Award

Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.

🚦It’s Road Safety Week! (16th–22nd November) 🚦 Last year, we worked incredibly hard to make road safety a top priority — teaming up with local councillors, the council, and our dedicated wardens to help create a safer environment for our whole school community. 🛑👷‍♀️🚸 We’re really proud of the progress we’ve made together, and we’ll continue to remind our families and visitors to park responsibly and help keep our children safe on the roads around school. Keep your eyes peeled… our brand-new Walk to School incentivise is launching soon!

Well done to the children who took part in an indoor athletics at the Life Centre today. It involved some unique activities not experienced before. The children gave it their all and were a credit to the school and themselves.
