  • Further Rock Challenge Update

    Tue 24 Apr 2018

     

    In the event of us reaching the final tomorrow, children will need to bring a packed lunch and a packed tea into school tomorrow and children will then not need to be in school on Thursday until 10:45am.

     

    Further arrangements will be notified via the latest news section on the website this evening and to you directly upon collection of your children tonight.

     

    Thank you for your support.

  • Rock Challenge Update

    Tue 24 Apr 2018

     

    We are second to perform today, which means our performance time is approximately 7pm.

     

    For those parents collecting children from the Guildhall, you may collect your child at the end of the first half but only in the interval. However, it is preferred that parents collect at the end of the show, after the awards have been announced, as the children will need to collect their award on-stage.

     

    Rock Challenge will be streaming the result live via Facebook. If you have Facebook account, you can access this via https://www.facebook.com/RockChallenge/

     

    If we are lucky enough to win a place in the final, we will notify all parents and families and send you the arrangements as soon as possible.

  • Hot Weather Reminder

    Fri 20 Apr 2018

     

    During the lovely weather we are experiencing at the moment, please could pupils remember their sun hats, water bottles and apply sun-cream to your child before arriving at school. 

    Thank you

  • Year 5 praised for good behaviour

    Thu 19 Apr 2018

    Year 5 visited the Spinnaker Tower yesterday and were treated to clear views across Portsmouth and Gosport. The trip resulted in not only Year 5 having a fantastic day, but also earnt the praise from members of the public. The class teachers received several comments on how polite and respectful the children were.

     

    Positive feedback like this has a huge impact on the children, the staff and the school as a whole. Well done to Year 5 for extending our school values throughout the community and keep up the positive attitude and behaviour.
