2 months ago Posted on 19th Jun 2026 by Mrs Everall Year 4 Go Ape! What a fantastic day Year 4 had at Cannock Chase! They impressed all the adults on the trip with their brilliant behaviour and terrific team-work and it was lovely to see them supporting and encouraging each other as they swung through the treetops and whizzed down the zipline. Well done everyone!
2 months ago Posted on 12th Jun 2026 by Mrs Everall Art Day 2026 This year’s Art Day will be held on Wednesday 24th June. Children are invited to come to school in non-uniform for a suggested donation of £1 (via Parentpay). The theme of this year’s Art Day is Landscapes and Portraits. We are very lucky to welcome back Ironbridge Fine Arts who will be bringing in their printing presses and running workshops with children in Year 1 – 4. Children in these classes will need to bring in Tetrapak or Pure-Pak cartons to make their printing plates before Art Day. Please could you open up the cartons and ensure that they are clean and dry before sending them into school with your child. If you have any spares, we would gladly take a few extras too! Thank you for your support.
