Bake Sale

The Courageous Advocacy School Council are holding a charity bake sale to help raise money for a school in Uganda that is being run by the One Love Project. Miss Merricks will be volunteering at the school later on this month. When she explained to the school council what her role would involve and that she was raising money to help the children (many of whom are orphans), the school council were keen to help.

The children suggested a bake sale and would love your support! We would be very grateful for donations of cakes, cookies, brownies or other baked goods for the bake sale next week Tuesday 10th February. Please remember to label any allergens, if donating home baked goods. Packaged items can be dropped off before the day of the sale and home-baked goods are best brought in on the day.

All items will be sold for 50p each. Thank you for your support!

First Day at Arthog – Everyone Having Fun!

Despite one camera failure, we were able to capture some lovely photos of the Year 6 children enjoying their first day at Arthog 2026.  Everyone had a great first day, ate well, and went to bed early in incredibly tidy dorms (one of those is a teeny weeny fib).

Head of School Message

Dear parents/carers,

Despite the dreary weather outside, there has been plenty of hard work, enthusiasm, and great learning happening throughout the school this week. Classrooms have been full of energy, and pupils continue to impress us with their resilience, motivation and positivity.

We are currently planning a number of trips for different year groups, and the children are already buzzing with excitement—especially with Arthog just around the corner next week! A huge thank you to all our Year 4 parents who attended the Liverpool residential meeting; your support and engagement are greatly appreciated.

Next week promises to be a busy and enjoyable one, with the Arthog visit, a KS1 sports competition, and the start of our iRock sessions. There’s lots to look forward to for everyone.

Wishing you all a lovely and restful weekend.

Mrs Mavin

Ready, Steady, Prep!

Willow Class have been busy practising their food preparation skills in this week’s Design and Technology lesson. The children carefully used forks to steady their food, practised cutting soft items with table knives and had a go at  juicing fruit. They followed instructions really well and are growing in growing confidence. They will use these skills later on in the term, when they make a healthy smoothie!
