As we come to the end of another successful year at Belswains Primary School, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to all our parents/carers, staff, governors, pupils and members of our wider school community. Your continued support has been invaluable in helping us create a positive and enriching environment for our pupils. 

A special mention goes to our fantastic Year 6 cohort; you have shown resilience, enthusiasm, and a wonderful spirit throughout your time with us. As you move on to secondary school, we know you will continue to uphold the Belswains values of kindness, courage, respect, and health. We are incredibly proud of you and wish you every success in this next exciting chapter.

We hope all our families enjoy a relaxing and enjoyable summer break, filled with joy, rest, and special moments with loved ones. We look forward to welcoming pupils back for the new term on Thursday 4th September. 

Kind regards

Mrs Claridge 

Nursery Trip to Ashridge

Year 6 PGL 

Last week, our Year 6 pupils took part in an unforgettable adventure at PGL Marchants Hill — and what a week it was! From rock climbing and zip lining to paddle boarding and high ropes, the children threw themselves into every challenge with energy and enthusiasm.

They worked together during team-building activities, showed incredible courage on the high ropes, and even found time to enjoy a classic campfire evening (complete with marshmallows, of course!) and a lively disco to round off the fun.

It was a week full of laughter, personal growth, and shared experiences that brought everyone even closer together. We are so proud of how our children represented the school, they supported each other, took on new challenges, and made memories that will last a lifetime.

What a brilliant way to celebrate the end of primary school! 

Year 2 Trip to Knebworth House

On Thursday 3rd July, Year 2 enjoyed an educational and engaging visit to Knebworth House. The day began with an activity focused on creating a timeline of Tudor monarchs, during which the children impressed staff with their excellent historical knowledge.
Following this, pupils had the opportunity to immerse themselves in Tudor life by practising traditional Tudor writing, trying on period costumes and exploring musical instruments from the era. A highlight of the morning was a traditional knighting ceremony, where Clara proudly knighted Jorgie.
After a well-earned picnic lunch, the group headed to the adventure playground. The children (and adults alike) enjoyed the thrilling slides and play equipment.
Throughout the day, the children represented Belswains with exemplary behaviour and enthusiasm. They were a true credit to the school.

Open Evening

Thank you for joining us at our Open Evening! It was fantastic to see the school buzzing with excitement as children proudly shared their work with parents and carers. From colourful beach huts to intricate Egyptian tombs and impressive Greek amphitheaters, each classroom was filled with creativity, curiosity, and hard work. We loved seeing the smiles, hearing the conversations, and celebrating the brilliant learning that has taken place this term.
Thank you for being part of such a special evening!

Colour Run

The PTA recently held a wonderful Colour Run event that was a great success. Children had a lovely time running through clouds of colour, and adults enjoyed being part of the fun too. Thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it such a special day.

iRock Performance

On Wednesday 16th July, the school was treated to a fantastic outdoor concert as our incredible iRock bands performed on the MUGA for pupils and parents. Five talented bands took to the stage, showcasing their hard work and musical skills through energetic and entertaining performances of well-known songs.

A huge thank you goes to Matthew, our brilliant iRock teacher, for his dedication and support in guiding the children throughout the year. His enthusiasm and expertise have helped inspire a love of music in so many of our pupils.

We are thrilled to announce that, from September 2025, the number of iRock bands at our school will double- giving even more children the opportunity to experience the joy of performing in a band. If you would like your child to be part of this exciting opportunity, please speak to the school office for more information.
