A group of 60 very excited children had a trip of lifetime yesterday when they went with a group of staff to see Disney's the Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre in central London. The children were incredibly well behaved and so impressed with the staging, singing, costumes and whole performance. For some of our children, this was the first time they had every been to the theatre and we were so delighted to be able to take them! 

As we mark Remembrance Day, it is important that we all, adults and children, remember the courage that was shown in order to protect and defend loved ones in the countless wars that have taken place in the last century and this one.

Once again, we were privileged to attend the Remembrance Service this morning at Broomfield Park. Thank you to Miss Bispham for organising and supporting the children to sing a selection of World War Two songs and play their instruments. 

Our annual food festival for multicultural week took place at the end of the half term. It was, as usual, a roaring success with lots of food from all over the world. Thank you to everyone who supported this fabulous event!

On Monday, some very weary Year 6 children and staff arrived back to school following their fantastic trip to PGL Caythorpe Court. The children had a wonderful time, taking part in a whole host of different activities: climbing, abseiling, Giant Swing, canoeing, orienteering and archery, just to name a few! Lots of sweets were eaten and not much sleep was had but all of the children demonstrated our school values of courage, ambition and teamwork throughout the trip - we couldn’t have been prouder of all their achievements!
Huge thanks to Miss McBride, Ms Reid, Mrs Conner, Mr Jack and Miss Rosalind for leading the trip and giving the children these life-long memories! 

The Year 6 production of 'A Golden Ticket' was truly magnificent! The children performed so well, having learnt their lines, the songs and the dance moves during the half term. There were singers, dancers, prop makers,  Oompa Loompas, bratty children (who we know are lovely in real life - they are simply great actors!), suspect German actors, poor manners with too much burping, and, of course Willy Wonker herself with a lot of chocolate!! Not forgetting the technicians who ensured that the show ran without a hitch - it was a wonderful team performance from our very special year 6!
Huge thanks to all of the adults who helped to make this show so special: Ms Kelly, Miss Saker, Mrs Leite, Mrs Watson, Mr Jack and many of our support staff who worked so hard to support our children, make the props and help with costumes.  
And to our directors and producers - Ms Reid, Mr Robotham and a special mention for Mrs Barker who choreographed and made sure the show was simply brilliant!
