Well done to our super swimming team who competed in the ESSP Swim Gala at West Park today. A fantastic performance from our 8 swimmers with amazing team spirit!
A huge thank you to everyone who submitted an entry for this spring’s STEAM competition: Rockin’ Rollercoasters — they were absolutely fantastic! 🎢✨

Congratulations to all the winners from the 8 local schools and an extra‑special well done to one of our amazing Year 6 pupils for being the overall runner‑up in the Upper Key Stage 2 category with her incredible Super Mario Rollercoaster
Hi everyone!
With the half-term break coming up at the end of next week, just a gentle reminder to please start clearing any outstanding balances on ParentPay for school dinners.
If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to contact me directly - I’m happy to help
Wishing all our Year 6 children lots of luck as they sit their SAT tests this week. Just breathe and do your best- you’ve all been working so hard so now is your time to shine.
Good luck!
Before you know it, they will be done and you can look forward to the next events we have planned.
We hope you all enjoy the extended weekend. School re-opens on Tuesday 5th May.
Despite having all day, the bees have now awoken due to the warmth and have decided to swarm around. There may be approx. 300 of them.
Therefore only one gate will be open to the big playground - the single gate between Harrington and Parklands. Please pass through this carefully and without pushing.
Please keep well away from the drive side of the playground and hall area.
Pupils in Y5 and Y6 who walk home on their own via Canal Street/Briar Gate will be released from the door near to Miss Body's room (to avoid the playground altogether). Parents collecting children in Y5 or Y6 should stand on the big playground but closer to the Y5 rooms.
All Year 6 will be released from Miss Bethell's door.
Panada Club are sending separate messages to parents using their facilities tonight.
I have been informed that the bees are likely to have gone in the next few hours. Let's hope so...as nice as they are, we need them gone now,
We have a swarm of bees that have settled on a tree in the area leading down to the school hall.
We believe this is a swarm, resting with the Queen, on route to locate a new nest.
Please ensure you avoid this area on collection. We will have the vehicle gates open, further away from this area.
We are monitoring the situation as the swarm was not there at lunchtime and it is likely they will move on their own accord.
