Autumn 2025

Year 4 visiting Castleshaw.

The children stepped back in time to learn all about Roman forts and what life was like for a Roman soldier. They had the chance to handle and sort Roman artefacts, discovering fascinating clues about the past . The children even tested their teamwork skills by experimenting with different Roman army formations — including the famous Testudo formation. Everyone showed great enthusiasm, curiosity and teamwork throughout the day - what an amazing way to bring history to life!

Year 6 Residential Trip to France

Our Year 6 pupils have had an unforgettable week in France! After a smooth ferry crossing, the children settled in brilliantly - full of energy and excitement from the very start.

We kicked things off with a crêpe-making evening, setting the tone for a week packed with fun and adventure. Throughout the trip, pupils took part in a wide range of activities, including town trails, market exploring, axe throwing, frisbee golf, buggy building, and swimming.

A highlight was our day out in town, where we enjoyed the local sights and markets before heading to Disneyland Paris - a truly magical experience! We also explored iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the River Seine, giving everyone a real taste of French culture.

The trip wrapped up with some memorable moments - from a lively silent disco and trying escargot, to a reflective visit at Vimy Ridge and a warm campfire evening .

It was an incredible week of learning, laughter and lasting memories.
