  • Trip to Holdenby House

    Thu 16 Oct 2025 Rachel Miles

    This half term year 1 and 2 are studying life in the past. This covers homes, toys, transport, communication and appliances. EYFS are learning all about homes and the past.  Holdenby House is a wonderful stately house in Northamptonshire.  The children will have an opportunity to work in a Victorian kitchen, pretend to be a servant and possibly meet Queen Victoria! The children will need to dress up in Victorian clothes for the day but this can be done with their existing school uniform if you don't want to buy anything special. More details about this will follow soon.  

  • Book Fair

    Mon 13 Oct 2025 Rachel Miles

    From the beginning of 13th October until 17th October, we will be holding our annual Book Fair.  This is an opportunity for you to come and purchase some wonderful new books plus raise some money for us to purchase new books for the school. Our wonderful FOCs team will be in touch shortly regarding getting volunteers to run the book fair! 

  • Harvest Festival

    Thu 09 Oct 2025 Rachel Miles

    We will be holding our annual Harvest festival in the church. We will plan to start at 9am so when you drop your child at school please head over to the church to get a seat. We will then bring the children over to the church and present our Harvest celebration to you.  Afterwards, we will take the children back to school and you are then invited to attend our Curriculum Meeting. In this meeting, we will talk about our Reading program, maths, science and foundation subjects. This should only last for a maximum of 30 minutes, as we will need to get back to teaching. We look forward to seeing you! 

  • Curriculum Meeting 9.30 am until 10 am

    Thu 09 Oct 2025 Rachel Miles

    After our Harvest Festival Celebration, we will be holding a Curriculum Meeting back at the school.  This meeting will give you an opportunity to find out about how we teach different subjects.
