It was a pleasure to hear the wonderful feedback from the many visitors who saw our school in action during open morning. The year six pupils were superb tour guides and shared all of the many parts of our school.
If you were unable to make the event and would like to visit the school please contact the school office to arrange an appointment.
Well done to the pupils in year three and four who represented our school in the Uni-Hoc competition hosted by Robert Smyth Academy. This is always an exciting event and the children played well in a series of matches against other local schools. They should be proud of their achievements, conceding just three goals over the six matches they played and finishing seventh out of the twelve teams involved.
A big thank you to the sports leaders from Robert Smyth Academy who did a great job refereeing and organising the event.
We are pleased to announce that our conversion to academy status has now been completed and we are now part of Learn Academies Trust. The governors and I would like to thank our business manager Mrs Kully Gill and all involved in the conversion process for all their hard work over the last few months.
We join Learn Academies Trust at an exciting time and look forward to further developing the relationships with the other schools in the trust. Further information about the trust can be found here.
The pupils in year four have enjoyed the opportunity to work with the Royal Horticultural Society who are visiting the school this term. They have been busy in the school garden planting various seeds and considering the various elements that will help to make sure they grow well.
It was wonderful to see the six schools taking part in our annual Tag Rugby tournament this week. The competition was run in a league format ensuring that all involved had plenty of match time. A big thank you to Miss Parker for organising the whole tournament and to the year six Sports Leaders who helped to co-ordinate and referee the event.
Well done to the team of boys from year five and six who represented our school in football matches against Little Bowden Primary School, Kibworth Primary School and Fleckney Primary School. The team played well in some very exciting games and should be proud of their performances. Thanks to Fleckney for hosting the first fixtures of the season.
The pupils had a great trip to Warning Zone in Leicester. This is a regular part of our year six curriculum and covers a wide range of learning opportunities to do with dangers around us and keeping safe. This includes the new e-safety element which has been recently introduced at this superb facility.

A big thank you to Neil O’Brien MP for visiting our school. He took part in a tour of the school and then joined the school for our collective worship.The children really enjoyed hearing about his work at the Houses of Parliament and they had some excellent questions for him. To complete his visit to the school he met the school council who welcomed him to open their first meeting of the year. The newly elected council discussed the parts of the school of which they are most proud and share their aims for the year ahead.
