Cross Country Success

Here are the photos from the Cross Country event that took place at Brooksbank on 13 November. We are exceptionally proud of all of their achievements and we are now waiting to hear if any of them qualified for the next round. A huge well done to each and every one of them. 

Construction Enrichment

Some of the amazing constructions from enrichment.

School Council

Last week, KS1 and KS2 participated in our school council elections. Every child had the opportunity to participate in this fundamental aspect of democracy, making informed choices when voting to help shape their school. 

Our New Sensory Room

We are thrilled to share with you our brand new Sensory Room. This vibrant space has been designed to engage the senses, providing a calming and stimulating environment for all our students.
 
Whether it's through soothing lights, tactile experiences, or tranquil sounds, our sensory room aims to support the development and well-being of every child.

Enrichment

Our Summer 2 Enrichment Curriculum sessions are in full swing. Children (and adults) are having fun learning new skills, practising hobbies and trying new activities. The children had lots to choose from. This half term, enrichment offers include chess, outdoor games, bracelet making, fitness, coding, watercolour painting, boogie bingo, singing and story-telling.

The logo for our school vision

Each letter of the word CREATION inspires us to think about things we wish our school to provide for everyone who learns and works here.

Can you find the word for each letter?
