• Visiting Athlete

  Fri 18 Jul 2025

  Two days before Sports Day we welcomed Team GB England Senior Team 400M Champion Finalist, GB U20 4X400M team member and future Olympian Michael Fagbenle into school.

  Giving full credit to parents, Michael spoke about being inspired into athletics by a book his dad gave him by Michael Johnson. Despite the setback of a broken leg through a relay race, Michael has persevered to achieve his ambitions so far. He hopes to reach the Olympics next!

   

  Each class had a session with Michael which they really enjoyed. They asked him some excellent questions such as, ’What goes through your mind before the race?’. Michael was very impressed with our children and said that he had not come across a school where the children had such passion and interest in sport.

  Our Year 6 children had a fantastic time during their residential trip to Rhos-Y-Gwaliau in November, accompanied by Mrs Thompson and Miss Amey.  Lots of adventures in all weathers, and time with friends old and new!

  

• Camp Yattendon

  Fri 04 Oct 2024

  At the end of term, Year 6 had their overnight camp. A highlight of the evening was staff Vs pupil rounders!  Mrs Coomber led fire-lighting, popcorn and smores on the campfire, followed by spooky stories. A long night followed with great excitement at being in school!  Thank you to Mrs Thompson, Mrs Fulker and Mrs Lawrie who braved the night duties. Thank-you to all other staff who came to help with cooking, rounders and other organisation.

• New Pond and Fire Pit Area

  Fri 26 Apr 2024

  We have been busy in school - the new pond and fire pit area has been created!  This has been an area we have been wishing to develop for a long time.  Many experts have been consulted and a wide range of professionals have been involved in its preparation.  It is finally ready for use and we are extremely excited to be able to have this as part of our offer.

   

  Enormous thanks need to be acknowledged to FOYS and the Yattendon and Frilsham Sports and Social Trust for supporting the project.  Lady Iliffe has begun Gardening Club and class teachers are keen to start pond-dipping and activities around the fire pit.  Many valuable experiences and memories will be made here!
