• Stars attend Ashmount event

  Wed 25 Mar 2015 Dave

  On 23^rd March our fantastic multi-sensory room was officially opened by members of the Wooden Spoon charity  who helped to raise the £14,5000 to pay for it. The Wooden Spoon is a rugby based charity who fund raise for similar causes.

  The room was opened by the current Leicester Tigers team captain Ed Slater, who then enjoyed joining children for an interactive session in the room where he learnt how the various effects enhance learning. Ed was joined by another Tigers legend Bleddyyn Jones (now with BBC Radio Leicester) and members of the Wooden Spoon committee. An unexpected special guest was ex Tigers and England captain and Tigers Chief Executive Peter Wheeler. As a member of The wooden Spoon Society Peter joined us for a tour of the school and saw how our new building has helped achieve our consistently outstanding results for our students.

  We would like to thank The Wooden Spoon Society for their sponsorship of the multisensory room and for their continuing support for the school.

• World Book Day

  Thu 05 Mar 2015 Dave

  We had a great World Book Day on March 5th with all students and staff dressing up as characters from books, or stories. We worked on literacy themed topics then finished the day with a whole school parade and judging of costumes in the hall. Thanks to all mums and dads who helped with the fantastic costumes. A great fun, reading and learning day for all!
