We are a busy and lively school with lots going on to enrich the experiences of all of our children.

In this section of our website, you can find out about what has been happening in and outside of our school and lots of things that we have planned for the coming weeks.

• Jack and the Beanstalk

  Wed 26 Nov 2025

  Once again, this year we would love for our children to experience visiting an actual theatre and watch a pantomime. As such we have reserved tickets for children from Years 1 to 6 to see the morning performance of Jack and the Beanstalk at the Gala Theatre in Durham, on Wednesday 26th November 2025. 

   

  Please see email from school for further details

  

• Children in Need

  Fri 14 Nov 2025

   

   It’s almost Children in Need Day! 
  
  This Friday, 14th November, we’re joining in the fun to support Children in Need! 
  
  In the morning, we’ll be following our usual lessons, but the afternoon will be packed with exciting activities all about kindness, nurture, and helping others. 
  
   Come to school in non-uniform – show off your favourite colours, spots, or Pudsey gear!
   Please bring a tinned food donation to help our local food bank – every tin makes a difference!
   If you’d like to make a donation to Children in Need, you can do so through ParentPay.
  
  Let’s make it a day full of fun, smiles, and giving back! 
  Thank you for your amazing support!

  Have spent much of the morning uploading literally 100s of photos to our school website from an absolutely fabulous 3 days at Robinwood.

  The children were an absolute credit to themselves all week and deserve to be incredibly proud of their amazing attitude, impeccable behaviour and how they have pushed themselves and encouraged each other to be utterly remarkable. Here is a link to the school website where you will find all of the photos taken whilst we were at Robinwood. The photos are in our 'Lastest News and Events' section of the school website.

  A huge thank you as well to Mrs Harper and for Mrs Dooher and the office staff for helping in so many ways with organisation of it all- it involves a huge amount of work and without their willingness to go above and beyond it would not be possible to provide such wonderful experiences and memories for our children.
