Dear Parents and Carers,
It has been another busy and positive week here at school, with lots of opportunities for our children to learn, grow and represent the school with pride.
Today we enjoyed a fantastic Outdoor Learning Day across the whole school. It was wonderful to see children engaged in hands-on, practical activities beyond the classroom, developing teamwork, resilience and curiosity. The enthusiasm and behaviour on display were excellent, and it was a great reminder of the value of learning in different environments.
Earlier this week, our Year 6 boys football team travelled to Coventry to take part in a competitive tournament. The team performed brilliantly and finished 5th overall on goal difference, which is a fantastic achievement. A huge thank you to Mr Maxwell for organising and leading the trip, alongside Mrs Scott for her support. Well done to all of the boys for representing the school so positively — we are very proud of you.
Our Year 6 pupils also had the opportunity to visit the Magistrates’ Court in Portsmouth this week. This was a highly valuable experience, giving pupils a real insight into the justice system and helping to bring their learning to life. The children demonstrated maturity and excellent behaviour throughout the visit — a credit to themselves and the school.
We are very much looking forward to our Easter discos next week, which are always a highlight for the children. Thank you in advance to staff and volunteers who are helping to organise these events — we know they will be thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Across the school, I continue to be impressed by the children’s commitment to their learning and the positive attitudes they show each day. Attendance remains a key priority, and we thank you for your ongoing support in ensuring children are in school, on time, every day wherever possible.
As we move towards the end of term, there will be a continued focus on high-quality teaching and learning, as well as supporting pupils’ wellbeing. Thank you, as always, for your continued support — it makes a real difference.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend.
