As part of our RE topic about Faith, the Upper School children visited St Peter’s Church in the village to meet the vicar, Rev. Paul, and to find out about how local people show their faith in God. 
We looked around the church to find examples of people of faith and there were many! The stain…

We all can’t quite believe we are starting our penultimate week at school…and what a week it will be! 

It is always so heartwarming to see our Year Two’s initiating play which captivates the enthusiasm of our younger ones. Before our very eyes, play has evolved and spiralled in different…

Middle School have made some excellent progress on their Lake District mountain models in art this week.
