• What a day!

  Fri 24 Oct 2025

  Our school crossing patrol lady, Pauline retired today after 39 years! We invited her into assembly to say a huge thank you for all the years of smiles and service. During assembly, Mrs Sraan and some of the children taught us about the festivals of Diwali and Bandi Chorr Diwas.

   

  In the afternoon, we were privileged to receive a visit from Alex Burghart, MP, who answered some very insightful and thought-provoking questions from Years 5 and 6. They learnt about how laws are made, how to become an MP, and so much more. Mr Burghart also invited them to visit him at the Houses of Parliament.

   

  The day ended with all of the KS2 children being treated to French lessons led by some Year 11 students from Brentwood Ursuline. Ils étaient très intéressants et les enfants les ont beaucoup aimés!

  Fri 19 Sep 2025

  Year 5 and 6 welcomed Hala, a Palestinian refugee who answered all of their questions. She was very impressed by their empathy and curiosity. Thank you to Hala and to Mary Stretch from our adopted charity, Calais Light who organised the visit.

  

• Year 2 trip to Brentwood Cathedral

  Thu 19 Jun 2025

  As part of our celebrations for the Jubilee Year of Hope, Class 2 met up with Year 2 children from St Helen's Infant School and visited the Cathedral in Brentwood. Fr John Harvey met the children at the Holy Door and gave them a very interesting talk about the history of the building. They then went for a picnic at St Helen's. The most exciting part, however, was the bus journey there and back!

• Our donations for Calais Light are on their way!

  Tue 29 Apr 2025

  Mary Stretch and Muhammad collected all of your donations today and Muhammad will be driving them over to Calais this week. They were delighted with the load and expressed how grateful they are for your support. What a fitting time to be doing what we can for refugees, continuing Pope Francis' wish for us all to reach out to those who have had to leave their homes. "You are not alone," he said, "Do not lose hope."
