  • A Huge Well Done to Our Year 6 Pupils!

    Published 14/05/26

    This week, our Year 6 pupils have been truly outstanding. They have given 100% in everything they have done, and we are incredibly proud of how each child approached their SATs. Every pupil showed determination and resilience, completing each test to the best of their ability—which is all we could ever ask for.

    Throughout the week, they demonstrated our core values brilliantly:

    • Excellence in the effort and care they put into their work
    • Perseverance when faced with challenging questions
    • Kindness in the way they supported and encouraged one another outside of the tests

    It has been wonderful to see such maturity, teamwork and positivity across the cohort.

    We would also like to say a huge thank you to our entire school community. All pupils across the school showed exceptional respect, ensuring that our corridors remained calm and quiet and creating the perfect environment for Year 6 to perform at their best. This strongly reflects the British Value of Mutual Respect, where everyone understands the importance of supporting others and creating a positive, considerate environment for learning.

    Finally, we would like to thank parents and carers for their ongoing support, particularly in helping pupils arrive promptly each morning, ready to start their day with confidence.

    As we have shared with Year 6, there is still so much to look forward to this term, and we are excited to enjoy the rest of their final weeks together.

    Well done, Year 6—you should all be incredibly proud!

  • Thank You to Our Local Community for Supporting Forest School 🌳

    Published 27/04/26

    We would like to say a huge thank you to a wonderful local business (Ideal Tree Services LTD) for their generous donation of logs to support the development of our Forest School area.

    While working on a local resident’s home, the team kindly accepted our plea for spare logs, helping us to enhance our outdoor learning environment. These logs are already being put to great use and have become an important part of our natural obstacle course, as well as providing seating for our much‑loved ‘Oak Theatre’, where children gather to learn, create and perform in the heart of nature.

    Our Forest School is a vital space where pupils develop confidence, teamwork, resilience and a love for the outdoors. Acts of kindness like this make a real difference and allow us to continue growing and improving this special area for all our children.

    We are always incredibly grateful for any donations that help support our Forest School and enrich pupils’ experiences. Thank you once again to our fantastic local community for your continued support.

  • Swimming Success

    Published 21/04/26

    We are delighted to share some of the outstanding swimming success achieved by one of our pupils so far in 2026. They have shown exceptional dedication to their sport, training 4–5 times each week, including early morning sessions starting at 6:30am.

    Their commitment has led to remarkable results. At the Halesowen Swimming Club Presentation Evening in February, the pupil was awarded all eight trophies in their age category. They also secured 11 County qualifying times this year and competed at the Worcester County Championships in January and February, reaching multiple finals and finishing 4th in the county for the 50m butterfly.

    More recently, the pupil was selected by Worcester County to attend the County Development Camps in Malvern throughout 2026 and thoroughly enjoyed the first camp held this weekend.

    Alongside this, they are currently in the middle of gala season and have represented their club across four different leagues, taking part in 12 galas so far this year. This is in addition to their continued involvement in football, tennis, golf and athletics, demonstrating an impressive ability to balance a wide range of sporting commitments with their studies.

    We are incredibly proud of the pupil’s achievements and the dedication they show both in and out of school.

  • 🌋🔬 Science Fayre Showcases Curiosity, Creativity and Confidence 🔭🚗

    Published 14/04/26

    Today, children from across the school proudly presented their fantastic Science Fayre projects, filling the hall with excitement, curiosity and innovation. From erupting volcanoes and fascinating planet models to impressive air‑powered cars, there was an incredible range of experiments on display.

    The children stood confidently alongside their projects, explaining their ideas and answering questions while the rest of the school enjoyed visiting each exhibit and learning more about the science behind them. It was a wonderful opportunity for pupils to develop and demonstrate their communication and presentation skills, and they should all be extremely proud of themselves.

    This event strongly reflected our commitment to promoting British Values within school:

    • Individual Liberty was evident as children explored scientific ideas that interested them and expressed their own thinking and creativity.
    • Mutual Respect was shown as pupils listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions and celebrated one another’s achievements.
    • Democracy was highlighted through shared learning, discussion and the opportunity for every child to have their voice heard.

    We are incredibly proud of all the children for their enthusiasm, confidence and hard work. A huge thank you to our parents and carers as well, whose support at home in preparing and creating these experiments made such a difference. Together, you helped make the Science Fayre a truly inspiring celebration of learning.

    Well done everyone – our scientists of the future shone brightly today!

  • 📚 Reading at Home This Holiday – A Simple Way to Make a Big Difference

    Published 27/03/26

    At school, we build time into every day for children to read, explore stories, and discover new worlds through books. As we head into the next two weeks, we strongly encourage you to do the same at home.

    Reading together is one of the simplest yet most powerful ways you can support your child’s development.
    Whether you’re:

    • sharing a cosy bedtime story with a toddler,
    • listening to a 7‑year‑old tackle new words with pride, or
    • chatting with a teenager about their latest book obsession,

    these moments matter. They build literacy skills, emotional resilience, imagination, and a lifelong love of learning.

    The disruptions to education during the COVID‑19 pandemic highlighted just how vital regular home reading is. But here’s the encouraging part: you have incredible influence. Just a few minutes of shared reading each day can shape your child’s confidence, curiosity, and future learning.

    If you’d like guidance, ideas, or support on how to make reading at home easy and enjoyable, follow this link:
    ➡️ https://goallin.org.uk/families-5-11/

    Let’s keep the joy of reading alive this holiday—one story at a time. 💛📖
