Potential Disneyland Paris trip 2027

Please see the details regarding the potential Disneyland Paris trip. The deadline for pupils and staff to sign up is this Thursday. If there is enough interest, all those who have signed up will have names put into a hat and names will be drawn out. I will inform parents via text if there is enough interest to go ahead on Friday and further details regarding payment will be shared then.

You will then be notified via email if your child has a place. The non refundable deposit (£70) will be due by the 25th March. You will only be required to pay the deposit if you are emailed with confirmation your child has a place.

So proud of our Year 6 crew! They have smashed their SPaG!

All children have made progress in SPaG from autumn term to now and this is a testament to their hard work and courage. We have some super quick fixes to help secure our knowledge.

Your child also has a SPaG revision book, please ensure they are completing at least three pages a week in these books as this not only supports consolidating their learning but it also prepares them as they transition to secondary.

Some children will have some extra resources to support them at home.

Thank you so much for your continued support. We really appreciate it and are so proud of our Year 6’s!

TGB Crew

In crew we worked together as a team to complete a fun challenge. Using our shoes we had to build the tallest shoe tower. The children showed great respect and teamwork to complete this challenge! #LovePlover
