Year six had a great day today. First their own screen at the cinema, then McDonald's in the park and finished the day with bowling. Well done year 6 - they more than deserve this treat! @ExceedLP

So proud - our amazing Year 6 lit up the stage today with an unforgettable performance of Grease! Incredible energy, slick moves and pitch-perfect singing wowed everyone. "Greased Lightning" was a showstopper, and "Hopelessly Devoted to You" brought tears- well done Y6 @ExceedLP

We’ve had a great few transition days this week, the children have enjoyed being in their new classes with their teachers. Our new teachers have started their induction and new Reception starters have had a great time - it was fabulous to meet their lovely parents too! 💚
