Children at Old Park enjoyed completing our chicken wire art project with Will Ashley-Norman from ‘Chicken-Wired’.

A great achievement – 3rd place!

An inspirational talk for our children was experienced, as we were visited by Manjinder who completed the London Marathon. He came to speak to our children about his experience. He spoke passionately about self belief and ambition. The children were captivated by him. Thank you Manjinder and congratulations on your achievement.

Ambition holds significant importance in our values, and our children consistently demonstrate ambition across various aspects of the curriculum, both within and outside of school. Recently, we celebrated their long-term aspirations by showcasing their dream professions. Witnessing them all aiming so high was a delight. Marine biologists, art therapists, a jeweller, architects, emergency service workers, pilots, palaeontologists to name just a few.

Our Rock Steady musicians did an amazing job in their bands yesterday. They were rocking out to a live audience for the first time.All 4 bands showcased impressive progression in their specific instrument and we were all very proud of their achievements.
