• Anti-bullying Week 2022

  Mon 21 Nov 2022

  We have once again participated in Odd Socks Day which marks the beginning of Anti-Bullying Week from Monday 14^th to Friday 18^th November. We are celebrating everything that makes us unique and helping to spread kindness.  We have made a donation of £100 to the Anti-Bullying Alliance in support of their 'Reach Out' campaign.

   

  If we come together and reach out to others, we can spread positivity and kindness and counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes.

  Well done to everyone who purchased Pudsey ears to celebrate Children in Need Day on 18th November. Together we raised £250 for the charity! 

• Wear Red Day

  Thu 20 Oct 2022

  Show racism the red card is the UK’s leading anti-racism educational charity. Annually they hold a special ‘Wear Red’ day.

  On 20th October, our school, in partnership with the charity and Walsall Football club held our own ‘Wear Red’ day. The children took part in a range of activities to celebrate differences and individuality. They also developed their understanding of protected characteristics. Walsall FC players met our children and a raffle was drawn that awarded 14 families with match day tickets. 

   

  Especially exciting, was Millie winning the special prize of becoming the match mascot. 

   

  We had such a great day and raised £110 for the charity too!

   

   

• Harvest Assembly

  Wed 19 Oct 2022

   It was standing room only at our Harvest Assembly this year! 

  Thank you to everyone that was able to join us for our morning of celebration. Children from across the school presented songs, poems and prayers as we took time to think about the importance of sharing what we have. 

  Our wonderful School Mayor, Evie-Rose, led the assembly beautifully, and we were especially pleased to have a representative from Ablewell Food Bank with us to explain what happens to all of the generous donations. 

• Wonderful Words Day!

  We had great fun during our Wonderful Words Day!

• Supporting UKraine

  Tue 08 Mar 2022

  We are so incredibly proud of India, our Year 4 pupil, who worked so hard this weekend with her parents to support families in Ukraine. 

   

  India and her parents collected donations of clothing, toiletries and essential items from neighbours, packaged them up and loaded them onto lorries travelling to the Ukraine. 

   

  The donations sent will make a huge difference to people who have left their homes to escape the war. One act of kindness can start a chain that changes the world.
