Year 4 and Year 5 had a wonderful trip to the Cranedale Centre in North Yorkshire this term. They took part in a range of activities including a walk through a dry river bed, river dipping for minibeasts and fish, low ropes, birdwatching for puffins and rock pooling on the beach looking for crabs. We all had such an amazing time, the children even got to buy some cuddly toys from the onsite shop. It was a great adventure helping them team build and make new friendships and memories.

Year 8 Drama pupils enjoyed an exciting outdoor lesson inspired by the Grimm Tales, bringing classic fairy tales to life in a creative and imaginative way. Swapping the classroom for the open air, pupils used the amphitheatre as their stage.

The pupils explored how traditional stories can be adapted for contemporary audiences, using storytelling techniques to create their own unique versions of these well-known tales. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they developed original ideas and brought their performances to life in such an engaging setting.

Year 6 trip to the Highlands 2026

The long-awaited Year 6 residential trip to the Highlands took place last week and we are still reminiscing and wishing we were back there. From feeding red deer and hairy coos, to water activities on Loch Morlich, we loved seeing and feeding the reindeer on the mountain. We searched out our clans at Culloden and couldn’t get enough of the beach every evening. What a fantastic week. Haud yer wheesht – else everyone will want to go there!!

Bonjour!
 
Our Reception children enjoyed a wonderful French-themed breakfast this week and were transported to their very own French restaurant experience!
 
The children had the opportunity to put their French learning into practice by ordering their breakfast in French and using their best manners. Having worked hard on their French throughout the year, it was fantastic to see them confidently using their language skills in a real-life setting.
 
The morning was filled with lots of fantastic French speaking. And of course, starting the day with a delicious pain au chocolat was a definite highlight – that’s always a yes from us! 
 
Très bien, Reception!

Last week, our Year 2 class enjoyed a very special sleepover at school.
 
The children spent the night in the beautiful Drawing Room of the Main House, where they enjoyed games, watched a film, and tucked into a delicious takeaway-themed meal prepared by our wonderful catering team. 
 
After an evening full of fun and laughter, everyone snuggled down in their sleeping bags for a memorable night with friends.
 
For some of our pupils, this was their very first time staying away from home, and they were incredibly brave. We were so proud of how brave and independent they were throughout the experience.
