With Christ at our side to guide us,
we shine in all that we do.
Our talented Cross Country squad were proudly presented with their gold medals today, after recently becoming South Tyneside Team Champions 2025. Their record breaking score of 168 points meant that they finished 187 points ahead of the second placed team – an incredible achievement! Well done to everyone – we are very proud of you all!
Reception had a brilliant time on their visit to the library this morning. They listened to some fun (and slightly spooky) monster-themed stories that had everyone giggling and guessing what might happen next!
After the stories, the children got stuck into designing their very own scary monsters. There were lots of wild eyes, sharp teeth, and crazy colours—each one was totally unique and full of imagination!
To finish off the trip, everyone chose a book to bring back to school. These special picks will be shared each day during story time. Well done Reception!
Last week, our school was buzzing with excitement as pupils from across all year groups took part in our School Council Elections! It was a fantastic opportunity for children to experience the democratic process first-hand and have their voices heard.
On election day, the children cast their votes using a real ballot box, just like in official elections. They carefully marked their choices on ballot papers and posted them into the box, learning how voting works in a respectful and fair way.
Watch this space to find out who our newly elected members will be…
The children attended Robinwood and had a fantastic time taking part in the numerous activities. A great few days away!

Year 3 are beginnng to learn about telling the time on both analogue and digital clocks. To become more confident with the concept of time children will try and keep readng the clocks and watches around them each day. Great work Y3!
Year 3 enjoyed their Celebration of the Word together today. It was lovely to see the children offering each other the sign of peace ; and also being so determined to go on their mission to be kind to others.
We’re excited to introduce our newly appointed Reading Ambassadors! Thank you to every single pupil that filled out an application form. It was certainly a difficult task trying to choose from so many amazing applicants.
Throughout the year, our Reading Ambassadors will:
The team seem super enthusiastic so we can’t wait to get started!
The young historians in Y3 took part in an oracy session, where they challenged the misconception that early man were mere hunter-gatherers who were solely interested in consuming food. During the debate, we discovered how cave men had a great passion for producing painting; so much so that they cleverly made their pigments from charcoal and colourful minerals. They also had beliefs in the animal Gods and loved their families that they organised respectful burials showing their emotional side; very much like modern day humans.
Well done to the children who bravely stood up to articulate their arguments to a respectful group. They listened, understood and then responded to the view of their fellow historians.
It proved to be a great session, where the children not only thought like historians but also spoke like ones too. They then went on to write a response to their enquiry question with the disciplinary knowledge they had developed from the debating lesson.
