• Fabulous Year 6 SAT results

  Thu 13 Jul 2017

  We are so proud of our Year 6 pupils, who have achieved everything we could of asked from them in the recent SATs. 

  Our provisional data shows the percentage of pupils who have achieved at the expected level is above the national figure in all subjects (reading, writing, SPAG and mathematics) and 77% of our pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics combined, compared to 61% nationally. 

  What is even more impressive are the figures for the percentage of pupils attaining at the higher level (greater depth), where we are significantly above the national figures in all subjects.  This has been a focus for us over the last year - and we are thrilled with these results!

   

  Well done Year 6. 

• WE WON - the Quicksticks Hockey Level 3 competition

  Thu 29 Jun 2017

  What an amazing achievement for our Hockey players, who this afternoon won the Level 3 School Games Quicksticks hockey tournament, beating winning teams from areas all around Cambridgeshire.

  Last week they won the Huntingdon area tournament, beating thirteen teams and this put us through to today's tournament where we played teams that had won their area tournaments, all around Cambridgeshire. 

  On top of that, the team were complimented by one official for being the most polite and cheerful team - wow!

  The whole school community are so proud of you!  A big thank you to Mrs Johnson for all her hard work coaching you.

  

• Squirrels and Hedgehogs turn party planners

  Thu 29 Jun 2017
  Bear had never had a birthday, so Hedgehogs and Squirrels turned party planners last week and today all of their hard work turned to fruition when we helped Bear celebrate his birthday.  There were party games and party food and we gave him presents and cards as well as singing 'Happy Birthday' to him and helping him to blow out the candles on his cake.  He had a lovely time but was exhausted afterwards and we learnt lots about organizing an event!

• I wonder week ...

  Mon 22 May 2017

  What a great start to our 'I wonder...' week. In Collective Worship we started to consider what was meant by spirituality and began to think about our own I wonders ...  then this afternoon, all classes began with a short time of calm to give us practise at being still, quiet and reflective. 

  After that, our Hedgehogs used nature to make art work, Squirrels and Foxes came up with their own I wonder questions, and Badgers had a go at building their own shelters collaboratively.

• Year 5 Maths Challenge

  Tue 25 Apr 2017

  Success yet again, in our heat of the Year 5 Maths Challenge, that took place at Alconbury School this evening. Our team of only three (compared to all but one of the other teams consisting of four), took joint second place, beating a number of other local schools including Abbots Ripton, Alconbury, Ermine Street, Holme, Stilton and Spaldwick. Alistair, Ava and Gabriella were commended particularly on their success with the bonus question in the memory round. 

  Very well done team. We are very proud of you - and thank you parents (and grandparents) for your help and support in getting them there. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
