Value added is the name of the game: most enter the nursery at national standard, but by year 6 the vast majority are well beyond it, with many of them significantly above.
Pupils develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem and resilience to a mature level, encouraged by the school’s focus on perseverance.
Our Cross Country afternoon was a wonderful way to kick off our Saturday house sports events!
Making the most of our fabulous sports facilities and providing children with the opportunity to enjoy physical activity in a fun and friendly way.
We loved their empathy, courage and grace as they encouraged and congratulated each other.
Team sport at its best!

Year 5 had a wonderful day of experiential learning at Hampton Court.
Hands on workshops and immersive experiences are the best way to make learning stick.
And of course it’s super fun too!

What’s the best way to learn new skills?
Through play, fun and testing new things out. Year 6 certainly did that in abundance today as we challenged them to utilise their personal, social and emotional skills in our fabulous woods and green spaces.
Children and teachers loved it all!
