Year 6 children had a fabulous outing bowling, playing in the arcade and at frankie and Benny’s, what a wonderful evening together. They also enjoyed their lunch with families and delivered an amazing service for the children and families of the school. We are so proud of their achievements and the friendships and confidence shone through in their performances. We wish them happiness, health, love, and success in their future learning and life journeys.
We thank the Well Dressing Committee for their generous donation to our school from the proceeds of the day and for attending our worship in order to present our children with it.
Whole classes across the federation as well as a group of children have enjoyed mindfulness sessions with Anna Morrone this summer, what a wonderful opportunity which will help them manage stress and be more mindful in their daily lives.

We had a super communion service and thank Rev. Les and Wendy and Brian Beck for their commitment to our church schools.
Class 2 enjoyed their trip to Rosliston Forestry Centre on Wednesday. They built shelters in the in the woods during the morning, then solved the picture trail in the afternoon. Their behaviour and enthusiasm throughout the day was amazing!
We are so proud of our friend who has achieved runner up in the Burton Mail Heroes (Courage Award) category. He is so tremendous that despite having an incurable brain tumour that was diagnosed shortly after his first birthday he has just seen his 7th birthday celebrations. Despite facing a much shorter life than other children he remains strong and doesn’t get himself upset about his illness. What a gorgeous picture!
Mr Coltman delivered an exciting worship recapping all the stories from the bible that he had read to the children. Class 2 and 3 competed against each other by recalling facts and scoring points. We thank Mr Coltman for his visit.
Class 1 went to Packington Pork Farm on Tuesday . They saw some sheep and pigs and talked about where our food comes from. They built dens in the woods and went on a woodland trail . They were also very lucky to see two deer .They built rafts out of twigs and leaves and managed to sail them on the pond . They all had a lovely day!
Year 4 and 5 from across the Federation had an amazing day at the Symphony Hall listening to an orchestra and also visiting Dippy the Dinosaur at the history museum as well as sketching the local area and evaluating their day!
Children had an excellent sports morning and it was wonderful to see so many families there to enjoy or event! Thank you to the PTA for refreshments too!
On Saturday 30th June, 11 children took part (with a little support from 3 siblings) in bag packing at the Tesco Uttoxeter store. It was hot and busy, but the children worked really hard and raised an impressive £227.94 in donations from collection buckets at the end of the tills. Well done everyone! Certificates will be awarded to each child during worship as a keepsake for their sterling efforts.
Jordan focused on the fruit of the spirit patience. He told a story about Abraham and Sarah. God told them that they would be given a baby boy. They waited for many years until they didn't believe God's promise anymore. Eventually Sarah gave birth to a baby called Isaac.
