Reception dived into their Sea Creatures topic by creating their very own clay fish!
Little hands were busy pinching, rolling, and moulding the clay, giving their fine motor skills a fantastic workout along the way. The finishing touch came as they carefully pressed colourful sequins into the damp clay to create shimmering scales, bringing each fish to life with its own unique personality.
What a wonderful combination of creativity, imagination, and hands-on learning!

Our senior pupils put their engineering skills to the test as they designed and built spaghetti towers under strict competition conditions for the Mark Jones Award.
Using their knowledge of framework structures, they carefully planned, constructed, and then faced the nail-biting moment of testing to see whose tower could stand the tallest and strongest. A fantastic challenge that showcased creativity, teamwork, and resilience!

Year 5 have thoroughly enjoyed learning about the artist Dean Russo. Inspired by his distinctive style, they created their own animal portraits using vibrant colours, bold patterns and his signature black outline details.
Pupils showed fantastic creativity and enthusiasm, producing a striking collection of bold and expressive artworks.

In Art, Year 2 have been learning about Vincent van Gogh and exploring his distinctive painting style. Using paint to imitate his expressive brushstrokes, they created these wonderful recreations of Plain Near Auvers.
We are so impressed by their creativity, attention to detail and artistic flair. Well done, Year 2!

In a performance worthy of Charles Dickens himself, our talented Year 6 and Year 8 boys transported audiences to the fog-shrouded marshes and bustling streets of nineteenth-century England with an outstanding production of Great Expectations.
A huge congratulations to everyone involved for bringing this literary classic to life on stage. Special thanks to Ms Nayager, Mr Russo and Miss Mahindru for their inspiration, dedication and support throughout the journey.
