Weekly Update Friday 18th July
What a week it’s been! As we move ever closer to the end of term, the school has been bursting with excitement, joy, and a fair bit of dancing!
đ Year 2's Show-Stopping Leavers' Assembly
Our amazing Year 2 children absolutely stole the show this week with their unforgettable Leavers’ Assembly. With Pirates, Jellyfish, Mermaids, Turtles (and so much more!), it was a singing and dancing extravaganza that had us all laughing one moment and welling up the next.
The costumes were fantastic – thank you so much to all our wonderful parents for your support! The children performed first to the rest of the school and our Year 3 pupils – the excitement as they left the hall was infectious! A HUGE well done and thank you to the brilliant Year 2 team for putting on such a special performance. Just fantastic!
đž Year R’s Menagerie!
It’s a zoo in Year R – quite literally! Their classroom has been transformed with all the wonderful animal creations they’ve made. A special mention to Gracie, whose cat in assembly was simply purr-fect! Well done Year R!
âī¸ Year 1's Handwriting Heroes
Our Year 1 children have been working so hard on their handwriting, and it’s really paying off. Ophelia was our ‘Star of the Week’ – she could hardly believe her own progress when her name was called! Keep it up, everyone – we’re so proud.
đ Celebrating Outstanding Standards
We’re thrilled to share that our published results this year continue to be outstanding:
-
92.4% of our Year 1 pupils passed their Phonics Screening Check
-
85% of our Year R children achieved a Good Level of Development
Although Year 2 no longer have formal tests, we continue to teacher-assess and are delighted to report fantastic results again this year. To see how we compare to Hampshire and national averages, please do visit the Standards page on our school website.

đ PTA Treat Sale & Exciting Furniture News
Our lovely PTA brought forward their Mega Treat Sale today (because Monday’s looking a bit rainy!) – thank you to everyone who came along and supported.
We’re also excited to share that the furniture for our brand-new Learning Corridor has now been ordered – we can’t wait for its grand opening next term!
â Afternoon Tea – A Big Thank You
On Thursday, our fantastic governors hosted a lovely Afternoon Tea for our staff and PTA to say thank you for all their hard work. A special thanks to Helen for organising everything – it was greatly appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed by all!
đ Break the Rules Day Returns!
Get ready – ‘Break the Rules Day’ returns this Tuesday! The children have been buzzing with ideas and excitement, and we can’t wait to see what they get up to! For details on which rules they can break, please see the posters up around our school.
đĒŠ Year 2’s Magical Leavers’ Party
To round off their week in style, Year 2 had their Leavers’ Party on Thursday evening – and what a party it was! With Crazy M leading the fun, there was limbo dancing, cha-cha sliding, magic, and even snow! The children had a fantastic time – and so did all the teachers who came along for a boogie! Thank you to Crazy M and our brilliant PTA for organising such a fun-filled evening.
Wishing everyone a lovely weekend – and enjoy your final days of term next week!
Warm regards,
Mrs Riches
Headteacher
