Upcoming Events
Ice Pop Fridays
Every Friday this half-term, we will be holding our ICE POP FRIDAYS!
Each Friday after school we invite the kids to bring in 50p to buy a delicious ice pop and celebrate the end of a busy week.
This year’s Summer fair: WoodFest 2025
Our afternoon of family fun, live music and food will take place on Saturday, 28th June, 12-3 pm.
Live entertainment starts at midday.
£2 entry (under 12s free).
A variety of live performances will take to the main stage, powered by Planet Music and Dily’s Dance, alongside street food from Lance & Matt’s Shawarma & Sausage Shack, interactive workshops, a festival glitter and tattoo station, unlimited inflatable fun, football activities, ice-creams, games, a huge truck, and a quiet craft zone.
We’ll be in the playground from Monday 23rd to Friday 27th of June selling raffle tickets, £4 wristbands for unlimited turns on the inflatables, and tokens (the majority of stalls will take tokens, not cash). Get your tokens early to avoid the rush.
Card payment will be available to buy your tokens, and on the day, you can also pay by card for entry, raffle tickets, the bar and food.
Huge thanks to our volunteers who will help to make the day a success – but we still need more help – it’s not too late to sign up!
If anyone hasn’t yet thrown their hat into the ring, but would like to lend a hand on a stall or for set-up/de-rig, give us a shout or complete this form.

Thanks so much. Hope to see you in the field!
Tombola Time
We’d love you to donate to our ever-popular Tombola and Sweet Tombola stalls. We’re all crossing our fingers for a sunny day so please no unboxed chocolate (and no nuts, of course), but we’d be delighted to receive the following:
- For the Sweet Tombola stall – bags, cones, boxes or packets of sweets that can be given as individual prizes. Jelly beans, marshmallows, wine gums, millions … we love them all.
- For the Big Tombola stall – any new items that will bring a smile to a lucky winner. A box of crayons, bottle of wine, cuddly toy, tin of food, picture frame, book or a jar of sauce. Be creative but most of all, be generous (or ruthless in clearing out your cupboards).
Donations can be given to class teachers or the school office.
Thank you!

Royal Celebrations!
Today we marked The coronation of Charles III and his wife, Camilla, as king and queen of the United Kingdom. All week children have been crafting crowns and learning about the new King and those who came before him.
Celebrations began with a lunch fit for royalty, including traditional fish & chips and a delightful strawberry coronation Muffin baked by our lovely kitchen team. Heading into the afternoon, preparations for the FOWPS Coronation were threatened by a storm, however, the clear skies prevailed as families joined the children and staff in the playground to sing the national anthem.
Miss Crossley and Dr Hopkins – the Chair of Governors – then planted two commemorative rosebushes to honour the coronation occasion and the remarkable reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II. A delicious cake sale and raffle then took place, with lots of fantastic treats fit for any king or queen!
Thank you to the FOWPS team for organising this brilliant event for the children and to the families who made it happen through bake-sale donations.

A Bingo Bonanza!
The beginning of the summer term saw a bingo bonanza in the school hall, where children (and their families!) were both competitors and companions as they raced to get their numbers dabbed in – A fantastic time was had by all, with children from all year groups attending; FULL HOUSE!
Thank you to FOWPS for organising the event, and shout-out to Mrs Watson-Brown for channelling her inner bingo caller, even creating her own numerical nicknames such as a ‘Duck and a Bowtie’… number 28!
