On the last day of term we held the Easter Fair – so much effort from the children, parents and staff – especially Miss Barnett to ensure the whole school community had a brilliant, sugar-fuelled send off for the well deserved Easter break.

Our Year 4 cohort performed their original compositional response to the River Meon on stage this week. The performance was part of the Wild Isles creative project inspired by WWF and Sir David Attenborough’s work. https://www.wwf.org.uk/wild-isles
Parents have already had the opportunity to see the children perform; this was the children’s opportunity to perform on a famous stage with ten other schools linked to the Winchester University / Grange Festival project. They were amazing and had the most incredible experience!

An extensive case about the transformation of our school grounds appears in a landmark book on Sustainability and Climate Change and Outdoor Education in schools. The study highlights how we developed the grounds from a plain green space to an engaging outdoor space for learning and play. We have gained a lot of wider attention because of our work - including that with the South Downs National Park.
The book was also launched our school too!
Our Finance Officer, Mrs Sam Paine recently launched an Amazon wish list to invite parents to purchase resources for the school. Funds are tight at the moment due to reduced funding streams. This innovative strategy has given parents and the wider community the opportunity to make a difference. Thank you all so much. We continue to add to the list all the time.
