Crucial Crew 2025

Children in Year 6 attended Crucial Crew on Friday 6th June to learn about the kind of everyday hazards that they need to be aware of for their transition to Year 7.  Crucial Crew is vital for developing their life skills as they grow older and become more independent and a member of their local community.

In the photos below, children are experiencing the hazards of alcohol – without alcohol, of course!  They are wearing eyesight impairment goggles and are having to carry out simple actions.

During the day, children also learned about hazards in their local environment: water safety, fire safety, electrical safety, alcohol and vapes.  They learned how to behave near railway lines and the dangers of fast moving trains.  The police spoke to them about their responsibilities in the community and how the police become involved.  The farming community showed them how dangerous large machinery is and how to behave around it.

Lastly, they met a host of children from a range of other schools who were also in Year 6 and who will also be transitioning to secondaries in the area in September.

Dear parents/carers,

We have had a very busy but productive first week back at school! It has been lovely to see how quickly the children have settled back into their school routines.

We have had a number of new school clubs start this week.  Cookery club was a huge success and the smells coming down the corridor were delicious! We are hoping to book this club again for September so if your child didn’t get a place this time, they will have another chance then.  Little Lifesavers has also proved very popular and I have had great feedback from parents/carers.  I am delighted we are able to offer such a range of extra-curricular clubs at our school and we appreciate your support in encouraging the children to try new things and learn new skills.

Lots of children are starting to ask about classes for next year.  A letter will be coming out next week with the class structure and any staff changes for next year.  We will be holding a transition morning on Tuesday 8th July where all children will spend some time in their new classroom or with their new teacher or classmates.  We will also be planning additional transition support for any children that will require further preparation.

Have a lovely weekend with hopefully a bit of sunshine!

Mrs Mavin

Dear parents/carers,

We’re at the end of a very short but very busy half term! We’ve been to lots of different sports competitions, the Year 6s have completed their SATs, our pupil councils have been busy working on various projects, and now we are starting to look ahead to next academic year.  The classing structure will be shared with you after the half term break.

This week, we enjoyed a visit from ‘Pudding and Pie’ who did a live cookery assembly on Wednesday.  They will be running a lunchtime cookery club after half term which will teach the children about healthy eating and nutrition as well as giving them an opportunity to perfect their cooking skills!
