📚 Join Us for Book Club! 🐶📖
Yesterday was our exciting first Book Club meeting after school, where we went on a fun adventure with Beau, a lucky rescue dog! 🐾 We followed Beau’s journey as he befriends Penny, a kind young girl, and joins her family, although he’s not too fond of Mable the cat, who loves to stir up trouble! 😺🚫
We explored the games Beau and Penny love to play 🎲, and even met a hilarious pigeon named Bomber 🕊️😂. As the story unfolds, Penny and Beau hear about a strange, crazy name man, Adolf, on the wireless 📻, and they start to wonder if a war might be coming... 😟🕊️
Our Book Club meets on Tuesdays after school and Fridays during lunch 🕒🍴. It’s a relaxed, fun way to enjoy great stories, share ideas, and make new friends! 🎉🤝 We’d love for you and your child to join us — come see what the excitement is all about!
Staff held a Macmillan Coffee Morning yesterday during break time to raise funds for the charity.
Donations from thousands of Coffee Mornings, big and small, help raise vital funds to support the almost 3.5 million people in the UK living with cancer, from the moment they are diagnosed, throughout treatment and beyond.
A big shout out to The Little Bluebird Café for donating some coffee cups to our school for a science experiment ☕🫖🍰🧁😁

Westminster Trip :)
We began our day by watching the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace before strolling along The Mall, which had been specially decorated for President Trump`s visit. We took a break for a picnic lunch in St. James`s Park before continuing on our way. We headed to Trafalgar Square and then down Whitehall, where we caught a glimpse of Number 10 Downing Street and the Cenotaph.
Next, we went to Parliament for a truly amazing tour. We had the incredible opportunity to stand in the Houses of Commons and to observe a debate on the Assisted Dying Bill in the House of Lords, where we even spotted former Prime Minister Theresa May. Following the tour, the students participated in a session on petitions, and how to share their voice, with the education team. They did a brilliant job of presenting their ideas to MP Amanda Hack and then asked her some brilliant questions.
We wrapped up the day with a trip along the Thames, getting a perfect view of the London Eye as we made our way back. It was an absolutely fantastic day, and the students were an absolute credit to the school, and really did us all proud.
