We are proud that the majority of pupils receive offers from their preferred senior school.

✨ Victory, Rations & RAF Nurses ✨
🧳 Yesterday we stepped back in time for a fabulous VE Day celebration – and what a day it was!
🖼️ From real ration books, identity cards, and vintage WWII photos in Miss Morrison’s family archive. Pupils imagined life as evacuees and packed their “emergency suitcases” – top items included: a teddy 🧸, blanket 🛏️, family photo 🖼️… and headphones 🎧 (because even in the 1940s, a bit of quiet was golden!).
✈️ We were especially lucky to welcome one of our amazing parents – a real-life RAF nurse – who inspired us with stories from the front line and fascinating facts about the Armed Forces.
Did you know? The RAF is the world’s oldest independent air force, formed in 1918!
🎶 The day ended in true 1940s style with a whole school VE Day picnic – complete with music, dancing, and plenty of sandwiches! 🥪
