We were delighted to welcome the Shades Team into school to lead a special collective worship celebrating Black history. Through engaging stories, music and thoughtful discussion, the children learned about inspirational Black figures and the important contributions they have made to our world. The session encouraged curiosity, respect and reflection, helping pupils to understand the value of diversity and the importance of treating everyone with kindness and fairness. It was a meaningful and uplifting experience enjoyed by children and staff alike.

We had a wonderful visit this morning, from the Shades from the Diocese. Their theme this year is 'Standing firm in power and pride. Standing firm on God's word and celebrate that we are all uniquely made in the image and likeness of God. Jesus stood firm in truth and justice, showing us how to live boldly, faithfully and in community with one another. We celebrate the stories of hope and courage, shining God's light with our Christian faith being the catalyst to lasting change.'
A fantasic Collective Worship, enjoyed by all!
Transient Art, by Mrs Perry
Date: 28th Jan 2026 @ 4:26pm
Transient art is a creative and playful way for children to explore art using natural and everyday materials such as leaves, stones, shells, fabric and loose parts. Children are encouraged to arrange, design and redesign their creations, developing imagination, problem-solving skills and fine motor control. Because transient art is temporary, there is no pressure to make a finished product, allowing children to express themselves freely, collaborate with others and enjoy the process of creating. This open-ended approach supports curiosity, communication and a love of learning while helping children to connect with the world around them
