Our latest newsletter

Once again, it has been a busy year.

There has been a lot of hard work and many memorable events.

  • The many class and family trips

  • Three residentials

  • Grow to School

  • Sports day

  • The amazing End of Year Performances

We would like to thank everyone for their support this year: children, staff, parents, governors, members of the community and the Co-op Trust.  We would also like to wish all pupils who are leaving today every possible success in the future, and we pray that they will be happy in their new schools.

School re-opens on Wednesday 2nd September 2026 and the Nursery will re-open on Monday 7th September

Summer Fair

A big thank you to all the families who supported the Summer Fair. We raised

£658.00.  This money will go towards our school funds.

A message from the Department of Education

From 25 June to 1 September 2026, the Government is temporarily cutting VAT from 20% to 5% on children's meals in restaurants, children and family tickets to cinemas, theatres, concerts and exhibitions, and admission to a wide range of attractions. Combined with free bus travel during August for children aged 5 to 15 in England, families and young people will be able to enjoy experiences that make summer special, including visits to the kinds of cultural and educational attractions that enrich children's lives outside the classroom.

As part of this campaign, we have launched an attraction finder website which allows families to type in their postcode and find participating venues near them to make the most of summer savings. To use the attraction finder, please visit https://summersavings.gov.uk.
