Welcome back to the final half-term of the school year!

The summer weeks always seem to fly by, and we have plenty of learning still to enjoy, alongside a wide range of exciting school events and activities. We look forward to a busy, productive, and enjoyable remainder of term.

The automata created by Year 5 as part of their ShiftED project have arrived, and they are truly amazing. The design and technology skills the children have developed throughout these workshops are clearly evident in every piece. What we love most though is the individuality of each automaton, with every piece reflecting the children's creativity, imagination and personalities.

Year 4 started their kayaking course this week, and whilst the weather interfered with their first session, it was great to get a taster of what to expect in the weeks to come! 

Earlier this year some children entered the Young Engineers competition - a prestigious national competition with over 70,000 entrants. Regional year group winners are selected and we are incredibly proud that two children have winning entries. They have both been invited to an awards event at Kingston University.

Thank you again to everyone who supported the fantastic CBC Night. The evening raised a phenomenal £2,337 profit!

Library Cards - a ticket to adventure!

Camden Reading Together 2025-30 is a borough-wide strategy dedicated to reading for pleasure. As part of this every child who isn’t currently a member of a library will be auto-enrolled. Library cards will then be delivered to school for distribution.
