Happy National Thank a Teacher Day! Today, Wednesday 17th June 2026, we're celebrating every single person who helps make school life special. From our dedicated teachers and classroom assistants to our wonderful admin angels, dinner staff, caretakers, cleaners, and everyone working behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly – thank you. Schools are about so much more than lessons. They are communities built on kindness, support, patience, encouragement, and teamwork. Every smile, every helping hand, and every act of care makes a difference to the children and families we serve. Today, we say a huge THANK YOU to all those who go above and beyond every day to create a safe, happy, and inspiring environment for our young people. Please join us in showing your appreciation for the amazing people who make our schools such special places.

Pirates Pirates Pirates This week Joshua class are starting their final topic in their Reception year! They are learning all about pirates. Today we learnt all about the Jolly Roger, girl pirates, pirate eye patches, telescopes, pirate names and how pirates spoke years ago! They've also started practicing one of the songs they will perform in a few weeks. They are challenging themselves this week to make parrots and match the dots with the right golden number. Lots of fun was had today dressing up, making eye patches, building pirate ships, printing with shells on Playdough Island and playing with the small world pirate ship.

Reminder Today at 5.30pm - NPA Community Champion We would like to invite you to an informal meeting to find out more about the role of Community Champion. It will take place at 5.30pm on Tuesday 16th June at NPA. Community Champions work alongside school leaders to help share what it really feels like to be part of our school, from the perspective of pupils, families, staff and the wider community. The insight gathered is also shared with CELT Trustees, helping to ensure that the voice of our school community is heard at a wider level. This isn't a traditional governance role as there is no formal responsibility for decisions or scrutiny. Instead, Champions focus on listening and bringing together the voices and experiences of our community. As a Champion, you might: Talk to pupils, parents and staff Attend school events and activities Get a feel for day-to-day school life Share what's working well and where things could improve Your insight will help strengthen connections between the school and community, ensuring everyone feels heard, supported and valued. If you are passionate about our school and would like to get involved in a flexible, rewarding volunteering role, we would love to see you at the meeting!

Severn class have had great fun planting cress seeds in Science. They will observe them over the next few days and record their growth. This will help us think about the conditions in which a plant grows best and how we can help them grow by watering them and placing them in sunlight.

On Tuesday, Shannon class became scientists and tested the viscosity of various liquids. They spoke about conducting a fair test and what variables would need to stay the same in order to give accurate results. The children really enjoyed pouring the various liquids and measuring the time it took to drain down the ruler (particularly the golden syrup!).
