• Cat in The Hat at Repton School

  Wed 05 Jul 2023 S Tague

  On Tuesday 27th June we were invited to watch the Year 9 performance of Cat in The Hat at Repton School. Our children walked up to the school en masse and were perfectly behaved. The show itself was amazing and our children were mesmorised. After the show the staff at Repton treated us to ice lollies and drinks. We would like to thank Repton for inviting us to this great show and for their wonderful hospitality.

• Y3 Bushcraft Residential

  Wed 21 Jun 2023 S Tague

  On the 12th June I had the pleasure of accompanying our Year 3 children, Mrs Karamucki and Mrs Walters on their bushcraft residential. This was the very first time that we had attempted this type of residential. It was fantastic and the children got the chance to acquire a wide range of skills including first aid. They slept well in their tents and put their skills into practise with a simulated aeroplane crash. Our children were fantastic from start to finish. Well done and thanks to the staff for organising it. Check out the Y3 class pages to see pictures.

• Year 6 residential to The Hollowford Centre

  Wed 21 Jun 2023 S Tague

  On 7th June I had the pleasure of accompanying our Year 6s on their residential to Castleton in The Peak District. It was the first time that we had used The Hollowford Centre and we are glad we did! Our Ravens were given a packed timetable which gave them the opportunity to push themselves to their limits through a wide range of activities. Most of the activities involved travelling off site via minibus. These included abseiling off the viaduct at Millers dale, 'weaseling' amongst the rocks near Stanage Edge and canoeing on a reservoir. Our children really did us proud. Well done to the Y6 staff for organising this event.

• East Midlands Regional Swimming Competition

  Mon 24 Apr 2023 S Tague

  On Friday (21st April), we had the privilege of taking part in a regional schools' swimming competition. The event, held at Repton School, was predominantly aimed at independent schools around the region but we were invited to take part alongside a few other state-maintained schools. Our Year 5 and 6 children did very well indeed - finishing 2nd in their medley and freestyle races. A big thank you to Repton for the invite and a huge congratulations to our children who represented our school proudly. Their behaviour was of course excellent at all times. Well done Emie, Charlotte, Martha and Jacob.
