A Festive Day Full of Christmas Cheer

20th December 2025Abigale Crawford

What a wonderful way to end the term with so much festive fun! We were delighted to welcome a very special visitor as Santa popped in to spread Christmas cheer and smiles all around. The children also enjoyed a fun and energetic assembly led by our friends from St. Aiden’s Church, where they learned new songs and listened to the Christmas story.

Our school shop was a big highlight of the day, giving children the opportunity to choose a treat in recognition of their achievements throughout the year. We then settled down to enjoy a festive movie, complete with delicious doughnuts kindly provided by Miss Carter, before coming together to sing carols around the Christmas tree.

In the afternoon, the children were surprised by a visit from the Grinch himself, who reassured everyone that he would not be stealing any presents this year!

Thank you for your continued support. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas—enjoy making special memories together, stay safe, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back in January.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Thank you for coming to our Nativity this week and making some Christmas crafts; we really enjoyed our parents coming in to school to work with us. We have had lots of fun on our Christmas party day and we even got a visit from Santa! We would like to wish all our families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

We would like to thank all Parents, Carers and families for attending our Christmas Nativity this week. We hope it got you feeling in the spirit of the season as we get closer to the big day. All of the children have worked really hard to put on the performances for you and they have shown great courage and resilience in doing so. We are very proud of them! As promised, below are the images of your children. We wish you all a restful and peaceful Christmas holiday and a happy and successful New Year.

Expert Visitors!

15th December 2025Mr Pickering

2P had a visit from the local PCSO’s who came to share what their job involves. We talked about how they help people just as much as they have to deal with people that have made poor choices! We explored their van and tried on lots of different uniforms and equipment that they have to use. Some of us even got locked up for our many misdemeanours! We agreed that they were heroes in our community.

Children will bring home the letter with details about how to book tickets to the Chrsitmas Celebration on Tuesday, 9th December.

The show is limited to 2 tickets per family (across the 9.30 am or 2.15 pm performances) to allow us to try and maximise the viewing for the audience.

We would also like to make families aware the performances will be seated only. This is to allow staff to sign to children throughout the performances.

Each performance will have a maximum of approximately 120 tickets available. These will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis from Wednesday morning.
