One of our current after school activities is Basketball on a Wednesday. The children who attend this club asked if we could hold a minute silence to remember basketball legend Kobe Bryant who passed away on Sunday in a terrible helicopter crash.
The children respected the minutes silence beautifully and had a really great session afterwards shooting great shots, improving their passing and dribbling skills and more importantly having fun. Please look out for more pictures in our gallery.
May Kobe rest in peace.

The children had a great time at Hartlebury CofE Primary School’s first ever football course with Mr Cadwallader.
Over the two days during October half term, Mr Cadwallader led the children through lots of skills and game based activities. They were able to develop their skills in passing, shooting, defending and controlling. These skills were then put to use in matches and competitions during the afternoon.
Lots of fun was had by all developing sporting and social skills. Please see more photos of the football course in our Gallery.
We had lots of positive feedback from some of our football stars who attended the course.
These reviews can be seen below:
“It was really fun, I enjoyed it alot” – Jacob
“The best part was playing lots of matches” – Oliver
“Seeing your friends over the holiday and playing football was great” – Emma
“I liked winning prizes” – Zac
“The games were brilliant like shark attack” – Aaron
After the success of our February Active Calendars we have decided to launch the March Active Calendars!
Throughout March we are encouraging all of the children to take part in the challenges.
There is a calendar for EYFS/KS1 and another calendar for KS2 children.
Each day follows a different theme such as ‘Let’s dance Thursday’ and ‘Superhero Saturday.’
We hope you enjoy taking part and we would love to see photographs of the children taking part uploaded onto their online learning platforms.
Good Luck and Stay Active
Year 4 and 5 took part in the Stourport Bell Boating Regatta on Monday 11th July 2022.
They raced really well and got through to the final with a very quick time!
It was very hot but they paddled their way down the river and represented our school incredibly well.
Well done Year 4 and 5.
Well done to all of the children who took part in Bikeability.
Some of our Year 4s took part in Bikeability Level 1 on the playground where they learnt how to maintain their bicycles, how to glide, how to control their bikes and how to be aware of their surroundings.
Some of our Year 5s took part in Bikeability Level 2. This began on the playground but then took place on the roads around the village. Children learnt to start and stop with more confidence and they passed stationary vehicles. They also developed their understanding of the road including signals, signs and road markings. Finally, children learnt how to negotiate the roads.
Well done to everybody who took part and thank you to the Bikeability team for running our sessions!
On Friday 7th February 2020, a group of children from Years 4, 5 and 6 went to the Stourport dome for a dodgeball festival. The children had a fantastic afternoon of being active and even managed to finish first in their group which was a huge self-esteem and confidence boost.
