We really appreciate the support that the Sports Partnership provides for our schools and always look forward to them coming in to work with our staff and children.

Year 6 had a fantastic first Netball lesson on Tuesday 20th February 2024.

Well done Alder class!

Thank you to Nick from Worcestershire Cricket for coming to school to lead a cricket day on Thursday 14th March 2024.

Wow! What an amazing first day of National School Sports Week.

We were joined by Oddstepperz for a Street Dance Day.

Their guiding principle is centred around the belief that dance has the power to transform lives by fostering confidence, promoting a healthy lifestyle, and cultivating a positive attitude towards physical exercise.

Every child from Preschool up to Year 6 had a brilliantly active day filled to the brim with fun activities, dancing and games!

Thank you so much to Darrel and Charlotte. We had so much fun.

The PTA are on a mission to make the school a better place for children to learn and experience days, such as this one, make all the difference!

Amari told us about his life as a footballer and told the children stories about how he has had to persevere throughout his life in order to make it as a professional footballer.

The children were also able to ask Amari questions about his life as a footballer and were excited to find out Amari had played at Wembley and played against Harry Maguire!

Thank you so much for visiting us Amari, the children were starstruck!

We are so proud of all of the children for taking part in our Sponsored Sports Circuit this morning raising money for the Alzheimer’s Society. The school council took a vote around school and this is the charity that the children chose to raise money for.

Children had 15 minutes to run, skip, dribble a football or basketball, dribble a ball with a hockey stick or balance a beanbag on a tennis racket around our playground.

Children were challenged to complete as many laps as they could.

There’s still time to donate to our cause if you wish, please follow this link:

Our Year 5 children are well underway in preparing to become Year 6’s, as they all took part in the Jumping Jaxx training on Thursday 11th July 2024.

This fantastic program teaches them to become play leaders and next year, they will run some small games sessions for the Key Stage 1 children at lunchtimes.

They learnt lots of new skills and games, had fun whilst doing it and I’m sure will make great leaders next year.

Well done Year 5!
