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.
Thank you for your support

Thank you so much for coming last Thursday to our Celebration of Learning. We know you are just as proud as we are of how brilliantly the children presented their work. We have absolutely loved this expedition and are incredibly proud of the final product.
It was wonderful to see the children so enthusiastically sharing their favourite parts of the expedition with you—showing off their books, demonstrating their knowledge during the quiz, and proudly explaining what they had learned. We can’t wait to display the lovely things you created together.
This week, the children have been taking part in UK Parliament Week, exploring how our government works and why Parliament is such an important part of our democracy.
On Monday, we began with an exciting virtual tour of the Houses of Parliament. The children enjoyed looking around the key parts of the building, including the House of Commons, the House of Lords, and learning about the role of the monarchy. We also talked about what Parliament does and why it matters.
On Tuesday, we learned about the State Opening of Parliament. Together, we explored what happens during this traditional ceremony and why it takes place. The children then worked hard to put the key events of the State Opening in the correct order.
Today, our focus was on the role of a Member of Parliament (MP). Using the iPads, the children researched who our local MP is and gathered the key information they needed. They really enjoyed discovering more about the person who represents our area in the House of Commons.
The children have shown great curiosity and enthusiasm throughout the week. We’re proud of how well they have engaged with these big ideas and developed their understanding of how decisions are made in the UK.
Well done to all of the KS1 Pride of Plover winners this week. We heard stories of tremendous personal growth, resilience and hard work. It makes us all so proud to hear how people can overcome personal challenges to make improvements in their learning and to grow into more independent learners. A big well done to all of our winners!

We couldn’t resist a little adventure into the snow this morning! The children had snow much fun playing with their friends, tasting the snow, and even attempting a few snow angels—despite our gentle reminder that there really wasn’t quite enough snow for that yet.
It was a wonderfully joyful start to the day. And just like that—blink—and the snow was gone. But we made the most of every moment while it lasted!
Today we are delighted to showcase the children’s beautiful Poppy artwork. They approached their creations with such care, focus, and pride; choosing colours, exploring different materials, and talking thoughtfully about what their poppies represented.
Each piece is unique, and together they make a stunning display. We are so proud of their creativity and the meaning they put into their work. What a lovely way to honour and remember through art.
