Science club:

Science club is run by Miss Oakley every Monday after school. 

RSPB Wild Challenge
We are currently taking part in the RSPB Wild Challenge bronze award. The Wild Challenge Award is a specially developed suite of activities for schools to engage children with nature and provide practical learning opportunities. It enables pupils to apply curriculum knowledge and skills, as well to develop their resilience and sense of agency through outdoor learning. We hope to complete the activities and earn this award this academic year.
