A big thank you to all of the children and parents who took part in our ‘Crazy Hair Day’ for Children in Need. The children looked fantastic! We had a cake sale at break and lunchtime – we raised lots of money!

Our Ofsted report has been published.

We are very proud of our whole school community – well done to everyone!

A huge thank you to all of our families who donated food to our collection for The Salvation Army. Major Vincent Wall visited us in school today to thank our children and to take the food back to the food bank. The food will be divided into food parcels to support families in our local community. We are very proud of our children for their kindness and enthusiasm towards helping others.

We were so excited today to welcome Ben and his friend coach Jack to our school. Ben talked to each of our classes and answered the children’s questions. The children then got to train with a professional footballer and pick up some skills. Finally after school it was  penalty shootout time. Ben saved some goals but our children managed to score some goals. We will announce the winner of the signed t-shirt on Friday! Good luck!

We were very excited today to be visited by a photographer from The Derbyshire Times. We are going to be in the newspaper showing everyone our new starters in the Duckling Class. They even stayed and played with us for a bit, singing and dancing to nursery rhymes!

In order to keep our pupils and school community safe online, and to move forward with e-safety, we have completed the 360Safe review. This is a comprehensive online review of our practice and policy on e-safety. This review will allow us to celebrate our successes and identify ways in which we can continually improve our practice to ensure our children are safe online.
