Hi Everyone!

Cinders!
Very well done to all children in our Performing Arts club. The performance of Cinders was fantastic. Everyone was professional, enthusiastic and made everyone laugh.

Reception Sing-a-Long
Well done to all Reception children who sang their hearts out at the outdoor sing-along. It was lovely to hear those well-known songs again!

Nursery Stay and Play
Thank you to those parents who came into Nursery to play and join in with their child to see what they were learning about.

Christmas Jumper Day
Everyone looked very festive on Christmas Jumper day where we raised £159.45 for Save the Children

Gala theatre
All children in Y1-Y6 had a fantastic time at the Gala theatre where we watched the pantomime, ‘Robin hood.’ The behaviour of the children was impeccable.

New College Pantomime
Children in Y3-Y6 enjoyed ‘A Christmas Carol,’ which was the pantomime provided by New College students. It was enjoyed by all who watched it.

Hi Everyone,

I just want to let you all know the news regarding Ms Middleton. Sadly, she has had to leave Bullion Lane as she has been suffering from Long-Covid for the past year, and unfortunately, she is still unwell.

I would like to thank Ms Middleton for the years of dedication she has given to this school. She is an outstanding teacher whose commitment to all aspects of school life has been invaluable. She has been a huge support to the staff as well as the children. Her musical talents permeated through the school with the many clubs, choirs and concerts she organised and ran, resulting in many confident, happy children that took part in them.

It has been an absolute pleasure and a privilege to work with her, and she will be a tremendous miss. I wish her all the very best for the future and I hope that her health begins to improve soon.

Hi Everyone,

Well, we have made it to half term! It has been lovely to have some form of normality back into school again. Performing arts and football club have started and we have had a successful ‘Crack the Code,’ sponsored event with the money raised going towards our theatre visit and Nursery/Reception parties.

The children have participated in some well-being workshops which were very successful.

Lambton class also provided the school with a Halloween ‘pop-up shop’ which went down a treat!

Hello Everyone,

Mrs Spellman is leaving us at the end of this term to start her retirement. I have had the pleasure and privilege to work with her for the past 10 years. I would like to say a huge thank you to her for the endless commitment, time and energy she has given to the children, and the tremendous support she has given to the staff.
I am sure many of you are appreciative of the support and care Mrs Spellman has given your child during their first year of school. Children have always enjoyed her fun and creative lessons where she has introduced many characters such as The Gruffalo and Jim the Gingerbread Man!
She will be a huge miss, and I will be very sorry to see her go. I wish her all the very best for the future, and hope that she has a very long and happy retirement.

I would also like to say a huge thank you to all children, staff and parents for all their hard work, commitment and support throughout this difficult time. Everyone should now know the arrangements for September, please check the Class Dojo if not.

I would like to wish our Year 6 all the very best for the future and I hope everyone has an enjoyable and restful summer holiday.

It’s great to have everyone back after the Easter holidays. There is a new COVID Premises risk assessment that has been updated which is in the ‘Safeguarding’ section for those of you who would like to read it. 

Our school allotment is a hive of activity at the moment. Thanks to Ms. Baird, classes are in the process of planting a variety of fruit, vegetables and flowers. Ms. Baird has created an ‘outdoor classroom’ in the polytunnel, and with the help of her class and Aaron Ramm (Y6 pupil), they have  also created a bug hotel, herb garden and small pond to encourage frogs to join us. Thank you to everyone who has kindly made a donation to the school for the garden. It is very much appreciated.  

Thanks also to Mrs. Lewis for making ice lollies and raspberry ice-cream to sell, made from the fruit in the school garden. 

Dear Parents/Carers,

We have had a very successful and smooth-running 3 weeks with the children all back at school. It has been great to have the classrooms full again with things running a little more normally than before!

Hopefully, things will continue to head in the right direction.

Have a lovely holiday and thank you for all your support.

Miss Barningham

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are looking forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday. We will be continuing to follow the procedures we put in place last term to keep everyone as safe as possible. Parents will be contacted regularly with any updates messaged on the Class Dojo. Thank you for all the home-learning that has taken place, I know it hasn’t been easy, but you have done a brilliant job.

Fingers crossed we are back for good now!
