• Christmas Parties and Elf Day

  Christmas Parties and Elf Day

  On Tuesday, all children were given the opportunity to come to school dressed as elves and they certainly did not disappoint! A huge thank you to all parents for the costumes provided and the donations made towards party food for the children. The day itself was a huge success, with children having the opportunity to play games, dance, draw and complete a range of creative Christmas activities. I was very impressed by Reception’s turntaking during ‘Pass the Parcel’, the dance moves on show in Key Stage 1 and the range of different activities taking place in Key Stage 2 (Miss Peacey’s annual bingo session was once again a hit). To add to the festive feeling we served Christmas lunch to the children. Our wonderful catering staff worked tirelessly to ensure almost 240 meals were served (with a little help from Mr James, Mrs Doherty and Mrs Normington). Throughout lunch we were joined by a host of guests, including our committed governors and our army of loyal volunteers. We are indebted to them for the commitment they show to the school and I hope they know their service is greatly appreciated. May I also thank Mrs Grosvenor and Mrs Grimwood for ensuring all meals were organized and accounted for!

  

• KS1 Nativity

  A King Is Born - Year 1 and Year 2 Nativity

  On Monday, many in our school community were fortunate enough to watch our Key Stage 1 children perform A King Is Born – a retelling of the events of Jesus’ birth. It was a pleasure to watch wonderful performances from all pupils and to witness the pride displayed on the faces of delighted parents. May I take this opportunity to thank parents for turning up in vast numbers and for their support with learning lines and buying costumes. I am indebted to our talented Key Stage 1 team for their hard work and dedication in ensuring children told the Christmas story through smiles, songs and moments of silence. As I am sure you will agree, Mrs Coldman, Mrs Capladi, Mrs Roberts, Mrs Cook, Mrs Hennigan and Mrs Dogaru did an incredible job in preparing such a wonderful occasion.

  

• Carol Service 2025

  Carol Service

  We also hosted our annual Carol Service at school on Monday evening and we were blessed to listen to outstanding performances from members of our Chamber Choir. Our Chamber Choir rehearse weekly and they continue to grow in confidence and stature during each performance. A special thank you must go to Mr Leech (Director of the Schools Singing Programme for the Diocese of Leeds) for his weekly lessons, his wonderful piano playing and his ability to turn potential into talent. We were blessed to have Fr Whitwell in attendance and I must thank him for his beautiful blessing during the service and his spiritual leadership throughout the calendar year. Finally, may I thank the children, parents and parishioners who took time out of their busy schedules to celebrate this occasion. Though we missed the reverence and sanctity of our parish church, those who came together in song made our school hall a beacon of joy and holiness.

• Reception Nativity - December 2025

  Thu 11 Dec 2025

  Reception Nativity: I have been overwhelmed to see our Reception children performing the most important story of Jesus’ birth for you all this Christmas. It was quite moving to be able to have our parents attending this in our school this morning. Photos of these plays are on our website pages for you all to view over Christmas. Our children shone brightly and were true angels. These special moments are always one of my most treasured moments as a headteacher and I thank my incredible children for the joy they bring. The Reception Nativity is always a special moment in a child’s history and one their parents will treasure forever.
