We were delighted to have harpist Alis Huws visit our school to perform as part of Saffron Music Live’s programme of concerts across Essex. Click here: https://bit.ly/alishuws to see a bit more information about what the children experienced, and about musical opportunities across Essex.
It was wonderful to see just how much our Reception children have achieved this year during their class assembly. Their artwork, singing and presentation were truly delightful, and it was clear how proud they were of their learning. Everyone had a huge smile on their faces throughout. Well done to you all!
Monday 8th June and Monday 15th June
We are hugely proud of all our children who took part in the district athletics competitions. Our Year 5 pupils who participated in the fielding events were absolutely brilliant, demonstrating superb team spirit throughout. Our track team did us proud as well, with several first-place finishes and some outstanding effort and attitude on display.
Our Year 6 pupils recently returned from a memorable residential trip to Bawdsey Manor, where they took part in a wide range of outdoor activities. During their stay, the children challenged themselves with adventures such as climbing, raft building, and team-building exercises, all designed to build confidence and cooperation.
The trip provided a fantastic opportunity for pupils to develop new skills, make lasting memories, and strengthen friendships outside the classroom. We are so proud of them for showing fantastic enthusiasm, resilience, and excellent behaviour throughout the visit.

We are so proud of our choir, who performed in front of a full audience at the church on Friday evening. Thank you to Mrs Welch for the many lunchtime rehearsals in preparation for this event—you all did amazingly well!
Thank you to all of the parents that joined class Antarctica for parents lunch today. We hope you all enjoyed it.
Year 4 had a fantastic time on their recent school camp! The children demonstrated wonderful enthusiasm and energy throughout, pitching their tents, toasting marshmallows around the campfire, taking part in team games, and singing together. One of the highlights was the scavenger hunt, where they worked collaboratively to solve clues.
When the weather turned too cold for sleeping outdoors, the children adapted brilliantly and embraced the change, turning it into a fun and memorable school sleepover experience instead. Their positive attitudes, resilience, and teamwork shone through at every stage of the adventure.
We are incredibly proud of all the children for the way they approached every challenge with such enthusiasm and spirit. Well done, Year 4!
Well done, Class Europe! Your assembly was fantastic—we hope all of the parents enjoyed it as much as we did.
Our Reception and Year 5 pupils took part in engaging road safety sessions delivered by the Safer Essex Roads Partnership.
Class Europe visited Colchester Castle, which is one of the oldest castles in England. It was built by the Normans over 900 years ago and stands on the remains of a Roman temple. We explored the museum inside the castle.
We saw Roman artefacts such as pottery, coins and jewellery, as well as medieval weapons and armour. One of the most exciting parts of the trip was going into the castle vaults where we learnt lots about the history of the castle and the Roman temple that stood there before.
Well done to our year 5 & 6 Netball team who took part in a tournament at Great Baddow High School. They came up against some strong teams but still scored several goals. Well done to you all.
EYFS & KS1 were lucky enough to have a visit from Eden Oasis. We got to see, touch and learn about a range of animals, including a tortoise, some sugar gliders, a duprasi, rats and a snake!
