Find out about our major developments in the school grounds, like our playground makeover, ICT Suite and other developments.

Below are the details of our most recent developments:

The Atrium

Our brand-new, purpose build, school and finance offices and reception area.  The high, cedar ceiling in the reception area, along with the floor to ceiling glass at the rear of the building gives a great sense of space - enhanced by the 'moon' lighting system. 

The Lilac Room

Information coming soon!

 

Andersen Shelter

Children in Year 5 cover a major topic in History about World War 2.  Among the activities the children take part in a a 're-enactment' of an Evacuation.  This year the children will also be able to experience a bombing raid (without the bombs!) by taking shelter in our very own Andersen shelter! 

 

The Fort and Climbing Wall

Information coming soon!

Sensory Garden and Pond

Foundation Stage 2 Garden

Upper School Hall Re-decorated

Mr Porter and Mr Stevens had a very busy Summer Holiday during which the Upper School hall was re-decorated. The need to both brighten the space and bring a little warmth to better reflect the heart of Wessex was long overdue. The blue and yellow colour scheme compliments the newly stripped and re-polished floor and ensures it is a space we can all enjoy during assemblies, lunch times, PE lessons and on many other occasions. The other benefit is that our hall now represents a more inviting location for members of the local community who wish to meet and hire the hall for any number of meetings or functions, bringing in valuable revenue which directly impacts on the general provision for our children.

Kitchen Area in Lower School

Our PTA very kindly donated £1500 from the money they have raised this year to provide our children and staff with an effective resource for learning about food. We aim to provide children with a relevant, practical and hands on approach to their learning wherever possible, whilst at the same time beginning to provide them with the life skills they will need in the future. From our Nursery upwards, all of our children have the opportunity to plant, grow and harvest their own food and gain a first hand experience of where their food comes from. This can now be taken one step further where groups of children will be able to prepare and cook their own food. Examples from last year include bread, pizzas, butter, salad caterpillars, honey, pancakes and biscuits. We know these experiences will continue to grow and flourish with our new cookery area and look forward to opportunities for children to continue to learn both from and about food from around the world.
