The U11 girls football team have had a fantastic season – ISA London North Champions, local league winners and Bucks Schools semi-finalists.

The girls peppered the opposition goal with shots, with our goalkeeper virtually redundant, but they just couldn’t get the […]

In keeping with the rocket theme for today Year 5 worked on some NASA worksheets in Maths . During the week we have worked on fractions. We used fractions to discuss the number of moons and planets and added and subtracted fractions to determine the distance between galaxies.

The general consensus was that the activities were challenging and fun and that they all had a great feeling of satisfaction from completing them!  

Year 2 had such a fantastic afternoon on Wednesday when Mr and Mrs Press brought in two of their beautiful labrador puppies for the children to meet.

The children were able to see how different volumes of fuel affect flight and were even allowed to launch some rockets themselves! They were fascinated by the activity and would like to thank Mr Borgeson for giving up his […]
