On Thursday, March 5th, 2026, we’ll be celebrating World Book Day! This year, in the spirit of the National Year of Reading, our theme is 'Go All in - If you’re into it, read into it'. We’re encouraging everyone to dive into their hobbies, interests, and the things that make them happy through reading!

To make it even more fun, our dress-up theme is *Wear what makes you happy*!

Children are invited to get creative with their outfits! Here are some ideas to inspire you:

- Dress up as your favourite book character

- Wear cozy clothes or pjs for that perfect bedtime story vibe

- Choose something that represents your hobbies, interests, favourite colours, or anything else that makes you happy!

We can’t wait to see all the amazing outfits and celebrate our love for reading together! Happy reading, everyone!

This week, our amazing Year 5 students took the stage at the annual UL event StorySLAM held at Hunningley Primary Academy in Barnsley! StorySLAM is a super exciting storytelling competition for Y5 & Y6 pupils, where they get to write and perform their very own stories. It's all about sparking creativity, building confidence, and honing those presentation skills!

We're especially excited to share that this year's special guest was Dan Freedman, author of the beloved Jamie Johnson series! The students were absolutely thrilled to meet him! A massive shoutout to Efah for representing our school with such poise and respect. Way to go, Efah!

Morning families!

We’re super excited to share that our Opal Play project is a hit with the children during lunch times! 🎉 To make it even better, we’re reaching out for your help!

This week, we’re on the lookout for any pushchairs, toy prams and scooters, that you might have tucked away and no longer use. If you have any of these items, we’d love to give them a new home in our play sessions!

And guess what? We’ve got some fun snapshots of the kids enjoying their lunchtime activities last week! 📸

Thank you so much for your ongoing support! You make our community awesome! 💖
