  • ☕🍰 A Fantastic Macmillan Coffee Morning at Lapal!🍰☕

    Published 29/09/26

    What a wonderful morning we had at Lapal Primary School for our Macmillan Coffee Morning!

    It was lovely to welcome so many of our families into school to enjoy a warm drink, a slice of cake and some time together. It was particularly special to see some familiar faces, including former Lapal pupils returning to visit us.

    The fundraising continued at the end of the school day, when our amazing Friends of Lapal returned to sell even more delicious cakes on the playground!

    As a school community, we are incredibly grateful for all the generous cake donations we received and, of course, for the money donated to support such an important cause. Your kindness and generosity are what make our Lapal community so special.

    💚 Together, as one Lapal family, we raised an amazing £371.06 for Macmillan Cancer Support! 💚

    We are incredibly proud of this achievement and would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who baked, donated, bought cakes or joined us for our coffee morning.

    Thank you for once again showing what can be achieved when our Lapal family comes together! 💚☕🍰

  • Ben Miller is Coming to Lapal!

    Published 18/09/26

    We are absolutely thrilled to announce that, as part of our commitment to fostering a lifelong love of reading and celebrating the National Year of Reading, bestselling children's author and Hollywood actor Ben Miller will be visiting Lapal Primary School on Monday 12th October 2026!

    Our Key Stage 2 children will have the incredible opportunity to meet Ben in person as he shares his brand-new book, Diary of a Wicked Witch. During a special KS2 event in the hall, Ben will talk about his journey as an author, the inspiration behind his stories and the magic of reading.

    This is a truly exciting occasion and one that we know will inspire our young readers and aspiring writers alike. Meeting a real-life author is always memorable, but welcoming someone as well-known and talented as Ben Miller makes this event even more special.

    Introducing Diary of a Wicked Witch

    Get ready for a deliciously wicked adventure!

    Spending all her time with stuck-up witches and her ex-best friend, now a total goody two-shoes, leading the course isn't Wendoline's idea of a good time, but she'll do anything it takes to get her powers back. Even with a pompous king and queen to impress, a smarmy Prince Charming to prove wrong, and her own daughter, Rapunzel, to win over, Wendoline is not buying into the whole using magic for good thing, not when being WICKED is just so much FUN.

    There's potions, curses and a whole heap of trouble to miss out on... with 100% wickedness guaranteed, what could possibly go wrong?

    With witches, magic, mayhem and plenty of laughs, this promises to be another fantastically entertaining story from one of children's literature's most popular authors.

    We cannot wait to welcome Ben Miller to Lapal and share this wonderful reading experience with our pupils. The countdown to 12th October has officially begun!

    📚✨ Get ready for a wickedly good time! ✨📚

  • Online Safety Guide

    Published 11/09/26

    This online safety guide explores Character.AI, highlighting risks including inappropriate content, emotional dependency, the reliability of advice, and privacy concerns. 

    Character.AI lets users create and chat with AI-powered characters that can behave like friends, mentors, fictional favourites, or romantic partners. While these conversations can feel engaging and supportive, their convincing human-like responses can blur important boundaries. Young people may encounter inappropriate content, misinformation and privacy risks, or begin forming an unhealthy emotional attachment to an AI companion. For parents and educators, understanding these risks can make conversations about AI companionship more constructive. This #WakeUpWednesday guide explores warning signs such as secretive or excessive use and withdrawal from real-world activities, while offering practical advice on checking age restrictions, protecting personal information, questioning chatbot advice, and responding appropriately when safeguarding concerns arise.
