Growing together – building work on site
Mon 10 Nov 2025We are very excited with the progress being made in the outbuilding are also looking forward to having the playground back in its entirety for OPAL. The internal work is now complete and we are looking forward to furnishing it and using it for our Dragon’s afterschool club and for interventions during the day. The name of the new building will be the Dragon’s Den. We are very thankful to the Local Authority for supporting the project and to the LBSA for the funds raised too. A great addition to our school site. As part of the grant from the LA, we have to add to our external lighting and this will be addressed this half term.
We have also replaced some of the windows in the Lower School building. Due to the large cost of this, we are splitting the work over the next few years.

Be Ready – Assembly this week
Mon 10 Nov 2025In our assembly this week, we invited Terry and Charlie in to talk to the children. You will no doubt be aware that Terry has been visiting the school for over 10 years and when he is in, he talks to the children about the protected characteristic of disability. Terry gave the children an update on what he had been doing. He talked to the children about work and what adaptations employers should make when employing someone who is partially sighted or blind. He spoke to the children about some of the companies he had visited and what support he had given them to make their workplaces (including some football stadiums) more blind friendly. We also spoke to the children about a challenge we would like them to take part in, in the Spring term to raise money for the Guide Dogs. We will share more details about it, in the near future.

Be Ready – Key Strings visit
Fri 17 Oct 2025We were delighted that Key Strings were able to fit us in for a visit this week. They delivered an amazing workshop on a range of musical instruments. The children learnt lots of musical terminology and also learnt about music through history. Some were also picked to take part in being part of a band in the show. It was truly a fantastic afternoon for children in years 1-6. The main message was that music is for everyone and that it is fun too. A super way to enrich our music provision.

Be Ready – Boys’ football
Fri 17 Oct 2025Well done to the boys’ football team who played their first full fixture this week after their tournament victory. We travelled to Radcliffe on Trent Junior school for the Rushcliffe Large Schools cup match. There are some changes that the year 6 children are having to get used to as the children can no longer head the ball and there are now no throw-ins. The children in year 5 are used to playing this at weekend teams but this was a change for the year 6 boys. Radcliffe were a very good side, but I am glad to say that the boys played some excellent football and we won the game 2-1. A super individual goal form Ethan and a brilliant team goal from Dan won the game for us. We look forward to seeing who we play in the next round.
