What a fabulous week that was – so much creativity throughout the school and every classroom a hive of activity. We hope you were all able to visit the 100 Acre Wood Gallery and see the wonders your children produced in just four days. The standard of work just improves year on year and we are so impressed by the endeavour of all the children and incredible hardwork of the staff.
Greig Trout, who heads up The School of Kindness and the charity ‘52 Lives’ with his wife. He wowed Year 1 and 2 in assembly with his knowledge of the science of kindness, sharing how it is good for us and not just those who we are kind to. After a fabulous assembly the children went back to class and made some truly wonderful creations to share some kindness with their family or friends.
We were delighted to welcome parents into school for our Come and Learn with Me: Maths event. The afternoon began with an engaging presentation in the school hall, where Mrs Whittall shared ideas on how maths is taught and how parents can support learning at home.
After the presentation, everyone moved into the classrooms where parents joined their children in a variety of fun and hands-on maths activities. From problem-solving challenges to games, the sessions were full of excitement, teamwork, and laughter.
It was wonderful to see our pupils sharing their maths skills and enthusiasm with their families. A huge thank you to all the parents who joined us and to the staff who made the afternoon such a success!
We look forward to welcoming you all again at our next Come and Learn with Me event.
Our school was filled with festive excitement as families gathered for our after-school Christmas Concert, a wonderful celebration of music, performance and Christmas cheer.
The evening showcased a fantastic range of talent, with performances from the school choir, recorder group, boomwhackers, handbells, musical theatre group and dance club. Each group performed with confidence and enthusiasm, delighting the audience with a varied and joyful programme.
A special highlight of the concert was our first ever Key Stage 1 ensemble, bringing together recorders, handbells and boomwhackers in a brilliant combined performance. It was a proud moment to see our youngest musicians working together so successfully and performing so confidently in front of an audience.
Parents and carers were invited to join in with traditional Christmas carols, creating a warm and festive atmosphere and a true sense of community.
Well done to all the children who took part for their hard work and dedication, and thank you to staff and families for supporting such a memorable and joyful Christmas celebration.
Our Key Stage 1 Choir enjoyed a very special visit to Rutherford House, where they helped spread festive cheer by singing a selection of much-loved Christmas songs to the residents.
The children performed beautifully, singing with confidence and big smiles as they shared seasonal favourites that filled the room with warmth and Christmas spirit.
This visit was a wonderful opportunity for the children to connect with the local community and experience the joy of giving through music. They represented our school superbly, showing kindness, enthusiasm and excellent behaviour throughout the visit.
A big thank you to the staff at Rutherford House for giving our choir such a warm welcome, and well done to our Key Stage 1 singers for making the visit such a memorable and heart-warming occasion for everyone involved.
Our school hall was filled with sparkle, song and festive cheer as the children delighted families with this year’s Christmas production, Superstar.
The performance was bursting with energy and colour, featuring dancing stars, lively barn animals, and a fantastic shooting star choir whose singing filled the hall with Christmas spirit. The children’s confidence, enthusiasm and teamwork shone through every scene, earning them well-deserved applause from a very proud audience.
A huge thank you goes to all the staff who helped prepare the children for such a joyful performance, as well as to parents and carers for their continued support. Most of all, congratulations to the children for an unforgettable production that truly captured the heart of the Christmas message.
Well done, superstars! ⭐
‘Make a Zoo Day’ – where we collected animal toy donations for children to use for small world play on the playground at lunchtime. Thank you so much for your fabulous donations – look at the zoo we made! Thankyou eco- council for helping Mrs West sorting them all out!

Thank you for all your donations for Children In Need today. We raised a wonderful £392.00 which will be sent straight to the charity. Thank you also to Pudsey who took time out of his busy schedule to visit us all this morning and in again for celebration assembly.
Year One had a wonderful afternoon on Monday when Grandparents visited with some of the toys they played with when they were young. All of the children loved investigating and playing with the different toys and were keen to see how they were different from the toys of today. They were extremely respectful, asked thoughtful questions and spoke potitely to all of their visitors. A huge thank you to all of our delightful grandparents who took the time to visit us, and to Mrs West who brought in a number of old toys to share with the children back in class!
Year 2 walked to Chalfont St Peter Parish Church to see the war memorial and poppy wreaths which had been laid on Remembrance Sunday. They also took their sketch books to draw war memorabilia inside the church. Mr and Mrs King told them all about the importance of Remembrance and showed them letters from soldiers in the war as well as some clothes that they may have worn. To end the session they all created a poppy wreath together which they have brought back to school.
