❤️ Inclusion and belonging – better for everyone! ❤️
Today we had the wonderful opportunity to share our work on inclusion and belonging with colleagues from other schools. Something we feel incredibly passionate about!
At the heart of everything we do is one simple belief:
✨ What works for children with additional needs works for EVERYONE! ✨
Caring staff, predictable routines, calm and nurturing environments, engaging lessons, movement breaks, high but achievable expectations and, above all, a feeling that everyone is seen and valued.
We believe that when we get it right for the children who need us most, we get it right for everyone.
Because inclusion isn’t just about making sure everyone has a place, it’s about making sure everyone feels they belong. ❤️

Year 3 travelled back in time this week as they became prehistoric toolmakers! Using the ancient technique of knapping, the children carefully shaped their own tools, just as Stone Age people would have done thousands of years ago. There was plenty of concentration, patience, and excitement as they discovered how much skill was needed to create even the simplest tool. Thankfully, there were no woolly mammoths to hunt afterwards, but the children certainly impressed us with their prehistoric craftsmanship! 🦴🪨🔨✨

To celebrate their fantastic effort and enthusiasm, some children were invited to a special tea with Mrs Riley and Mrs Milner-King. The children enjoyed the very grand experience of drinking from fine bone china and did their absolute best to show off their impeccable manners. There were plenty of polite “pleases” and “thank yous”, lots of careful sipping, and not a pinky finger out of place! It was a lovely opportunity to recognise and celebrate their hard work, achievements, and the positive attitudes they are bringing to school every day. ☕️🫖✨

🏰 Welcome back, everyone! 🏰
Year 2 have had a fantastic first day back, full of exciting learning opportunities!
They have been introducing their brand-new topic, ‘Towers, Tunnels and Turrets’, and what better way to spark curiosity than by becoming castle builders for the day?
The children have been busy designing and creating their very own castles, complete with battlements, drawbridges, arrow loops and moats! 🏰

Our little skeletons have been having a skele-ton of fun learning all about the human body!
From skulls to ribs, they’ve been discovering the different bones in our bodies and learning how our skeleton helps us move, stand and stay strong! 🦴
