ACTIVE SCHOOLS FLAG 2024-2026
We are currently working towards our Active School Flag. Our primary aim is to encourage our pupils to be more active, with particular emphasis on participation, inclusion and fun! Over the course of the year, we will be partaking in a number of fun active challenges and initiatives. Our Active School slogan is "Walk or run, just have some fun!" Keep an eye on this page for our latest Active Flag news!

Skip around Europe Challenge!
From 31st March to 9th May 2025, we participated in the Skip around Europe challenge! Over 4 weeks, the entire school skipped every day for 5-10 minutes after lunch! With 1 skip = 1 kilometer, we averaged an amazing 2000km each day! We picked a new European destination each week and worked out that we successfully circumnavigated the globe! Thank you to Active Flag for sending us the skipping ropes used for this challenge!

active school week June 2025
For our 2025 Active School Week, we organised a variety of fun and engaging activities to get all pupils moving! During the course of the week, the children rotated between different stations, including tug of war, foot golf and charades. One of the most exciting moments was the Teachers vs. Students penalty shootout, which brought great energy and laughter across the school. We also gave children the opportunity to choose their favourites activities, which included skipping and hot seat basketball! We went for our annual forest walk where we built forts and when we came back we had a huge water fight! The week concluded with our much-anticipated Sports Day, a fantastic celebration of activity, teamwork, and school spirit.
