  World Book Day 2026

  Published 10/03/26

  World Book Day was a truly magical celebration of stories, imagination, and creativity across the whole school! The excitement was clear to see as children arrived eager to share their love of reading.

  The children made exciting dioramas at home, inspired by the books they were reading in class. From a range of the Wil Tribe Hero books, their diorama creations were bursting with detail and creativity.

  Each class was also given a special challenge to design and decorate their classroom door, inspired by the habitat of their targeted books. The results were incredible—our corridors were transformed into a journey through a variety of habitats, showcasing the children’s teamwork and artistic flair.

  It was a fantastic day that celebrated not only books, but the joy of reading and the wonderful creativity of our pupils!

  KS2 Cinema Visit

  Published 25/11/25

  Our KS2 children enjoyed a fantastic trip to the cinema as a special end-of-term treat. Year 3 watched The Wild Robot, Year 4 enjoyed Paddington in Peru (Paddington 3), and Years 5 and 6 were entertained by The Bad Guys 2.

  The children had a wonderful time watching their films with friends and were a credit to the school throughout the visit. Their excellent behaviour and enthusiasm helped make the trip a memorable experience for everyone.

  We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Blackburn Vue Cinema for generously donating the cinema tickets. Their kindness enabled our children to enjoy this special opportunity and create lasting memories together.

  Thank you, Blackburn Vue Cinema, for your support and generosity.

  Year 3 had a lovely day on Monday. They had a lovely guided walk around the Cathedral grounds . They looked at different trees from lots of different countries and looked at their leaves and different barks. We collected lots of autumn leaves and made a display at school in the afternoon.
