• We had a visit from George Hollingbery MP

  Fri 03 Mar 2017 GR

  Today we had a visit from Mr George Hollingbery, the Member of Parliament  for the  Meon Valley Constituency. He talked to Years 1 and 2 about his role in Parliament and then answered the questions the children thought of, such as 'Is it tiring being a MP?', ''How many places does a MP work?' and 'What does a MP do?'. George answered all the questions brilliantly and at the end lots of children said they would like to be a MP when they grow up.

   

  We also toured the school and discussed the things we do that enables us to continue to keep standards high, including our investment into specialised sports coaching and our innovative games curriculum. We also discussed the funding issues all small rural schools are facing.

• What a Fantastic Festival

  Fri 23 Sep 2016 GR

  We had a lovely time at St Peter's Church today celebrating our Harvest Festival. Year R sang 'Dingle Dangle Scarecrow', Year 1 read prayers and recited a poem and Year 2 read their prayers and retold the story of the little Red Hen. Thank you to all the parents who contributed tins for the Winchester Basics Bank, all the parent helpers who walked to the church  and to everyone at the church for giving us a warm welcome.
