World Book Day
Thu 05 Mar 2026
What an amazing array of characters we had visit our school today! Everyone looked amazing!We had our catwalk in the hall this morning then our Head Boy and Girl, along with the Deputy Head Boy and Girl chose the winners. Thank you to everyone who participated and to all of the parents, carers and grandparents for your brilliant costume making talents.
Every child was given their World Book Day token to take home and spend on a book or towards a book. We are sorry we were unable to supply the books this year as Blackwells no longer do this for schools. We hope you enjoy your chosen book.

Jennifer Killick Author Visit
Tue 03 Feb 2026We were very fortunate to secure a visit from the go-to author for children's horror : Jennifer Killick. Jennifer visited every Key Stage 2 class where she talked about herself and her writing as well as reading from her books. She did Q&A sessions with lower KS2 and a bit of writing, then in upper KS2, she did writing workshops. After each session, children were able to get their own copies of Jennifer's books signed in person!
Thank you to Jennifer for making thee long journey to visit us, to Bronnie and Bob at Bookwagon Ltd for facilitating the book sales and to the PTFA for funding the event- the children loved it!
