The whole school came together to observe a two-minute silence in honour of Remembrance Day. It was a moment of reflection and respect shared by all. We are especially proud of Jake and Beatrice, who laid a wreath on behalf of the school during the village Remembrance Day parade.

Thank you to all of you that joined us for our Harvest Festival.  We hope you all enjoyed the service as much as we did.  Thank you for all of your kind donations that have been donated to the food bank.

We were delighted to welcome our local MP, Kemi Badenoch, to GWPS recently for a very special occasion – the official opening of our brand new classroom.

Mrs. Badenoch had the honour of cutting the ribbon and marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our school. She has since written to us to share her thanks, saying how much she appreciated the opportunity to be part of such a memorable event.

During her visit, Mrs. Badenoch spoke with our local Councillors; Cllr Steel and Cllr Ball, school staff, members of the FOGWS committee, and our Year 6 pupils. She praised the pupils for their “maturity and enthusiasm”, noting that they are “a real credit to the nurturing environment of the school that the headteacher has created.”

She also commented on the positive impact of the new classroom, describing it as “a wonderful addition to the school which will serve as a vibrant and engaging learning environment for years to come.”

Before leaving, Mrs. Badenoch expressed her gratitude to the whole GWPS team, highlighting the dedication and commitment that was evident throughout her visit.

This was a proud and memorable day for our school community, and we look forward to many happy learning experiences in our new classroom.

Once again, we were blown away by our talented children during the music recital today. The confidence of the pupils, from year 1 upwards is wonderful to see. 

KS1 and Reception had a very enjoyable trip to the Wilderness Foundation, and we received some wonderful feedback which made us all feel very proud.

The organisers shared: 'just to say thank you to all the staff that came with the children and a big thank you to the children, honestly think you might be our favourite school of the year! The children were an absolute credit, and the staff so engaged which makes our life an absolute dream'.

This feedback speaks volumes about the character of our pupils and the dedication of our staff.

Our Key Stage 2 pupils demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination during their trip to Danbury Outdoors. Despite the challenging heat, they embraced the activities with enthusiasm. We were particularly impressed with the strength and courage they displayed during the climbing wall activity.
