February’s Big Thank You

Congratulations to Mrs Davis who has earned our Big Thank You for February! Mrs Davis was nominated for always being willing to help those in need as well as her ability to make others laugh. Thank you to Bina Tandoori in Caversham for their kind donation.

Habitat improvements

Our caretaker has been busy over half term making some habitat improvements for the local wildlife.  We’re hoping to see some visitors very soon.  

Internet Safety Day

6th February is Safer Internet Day 2024, where we highlight the need for careful consideration of what children are viewing online, how much screen time they are getting, and how to keep them (and ourselves) safe. In a recent survey (Ofcom 2023), it was found that 48% of parents believe that their children know more […]

January’s Big Thank You

Digital Leaders

We were lucky enough to receive a class set of BBC micro:bits this week, thanks to Nominet for donating them to us. Our Digital Leaders were excited to be the first pupils to try them out.

School Council will be holding collection buckets at the school gates. We encourage creativity, you definitely don’t need to buy a new jumper! You can make your own […]
