We’re excited to introduce our brand-new animation, highlighting the incredible support available to children and young people through The Wave system and The Shore.
This engaging animation shows how our schools create a nurturing environment where every learner feels supported, valued and empowered to thrive.
From tailored learning plans to emotional and social support, we’re shaping brighter futures together.
🌏✨ In our Science learning, Owls have been exploring Earth and Space. In our first lesson, we investigated two different models of the solar system: the geocentric model and the heliocentric model.
The children learned how the geocentric model was adapted by Copernicus when new evidence became available and how he developed the heliocentric model we recognise today. Using compasses, they carefully drew the orbits of the planets in both models and produced some fantastic diagrams 🪐

💙 Kingfisher Class have been busy scientists and health experts this week. In Science and PSHE we have been learning all about food, nutrients and the different food groups, and discovering how each one helps our bodies stay healthy and strong.
The children worked brilliantly together to gather information, explore how different foods provide different nutrients and learn what those nutrients do for us. This led to fantastic discussions about our own eating habits and how we can make choices that support a well balanced diet 🥕🍎
We are so proud of the thoughtful reflections and excellent teamwork shown by everyone in Kingfisher Class 💙

💛 We are incredibly proud of Lauren and Evie, who took part in a national webinar with the Minister for School Standards on the theme “How can we make school fairer and more inclusive?”
This was their first ever webinar and they showed outstanding maturity and confidence. They prepared thoughtful questions, waited patiently for their turn and spoke clearly and bravely to share their views and experiences. We have even heard that some of their points may be considered for the forthcoming White Paper 👏
This is Courageous Advocacy in action, using their voices to help shape a better future for all children. Well done, Lauren and Evie, you have made us all incredibly proud ✨

What a busy and exciting week in Hummingbird Nursery 🐛🎨
Our story of the week was Superworm, sparking brilliant conversations about kindness, helping others and being a good friend. Children painted the snow, exploring colours and textures while building fine motor skills, and loved our doctors’ surgery role-play, caring for friends and linking with our phonics song Miss Molly Had a Dolly to support language through music and imaginative play.
A fantastic start to the new term, full of learning, creativity and smiles 😊
