An outstanding performance by all.

This week Reception have thoroughly enjoyed the beginning of our new theme for learning - Space!

Two teams showed great resilience, teamwork and sportsmanship during the tournament.

This week our Year 3 and 4 pupils took us on an exciting journey through history with their performance, 'From Cavemen to Celts.' The school hall was filled with dancing, singing, battle scenes and humour to bring the past to life. The performance began in the Stone Age, with cavemen showing us how early humans lived, hunted and worked together. As time moved on, we travelled through the Bronze Age , meeting new characters and learning how life changed over the years. The final stop was the time of the Celts and the invasion from the Romans.

The pupils impressed everyone with their clear voices, enthusiastic acting and fantastic costumes. We would like to say a huge well done to all of the children for such a brilliant performance. It was a memorable experience and a great way to celebrate learning through music, drama and history.

We hope you enjoy looking at photos from our dress rehearsal. 

As part of our ongoing theme of significant individuals, Year 12 have been learning about influential nurses from across history. The children began with the well‑known Florence Nightingale and, over the coming weeks, will also discover the stories of Mary Seacole and Edith Cavell — with a lovely local connection, as Edith Cavell was born in nearby Peterborough.

To bring their learning to life, the children have been exploring a range of play sets designed to reflect nursing through different eras. Florence Nightingale’s set includes a medical chest inspired by her own, complete with blankets, bandages, ‘medicine’ bottles and even a rat to represent the challenging conditions of Scutari Hospital.

The World War I set features a travel suitcase filled with pretend creams, ointments and bandages, helping the children imagine the resourcefulness of nurses working on the front line.

Our modern nursing set is packed with contemporary ‘mimic’ tools, and one of our teaching assistants enjoyed being thoroughly “treated” by Squirrels Class as they practised their new skills.

The children have loved stepping into the shoes of these remarkable women, deepening their understanding through imaginative play and hands‑on exploration.

All smiles after a great afternoon at SVC!
