13th May 2026
Yesterday, Tuesday 12th May, an impressive 245 children, staff, and parents took part in a special Walking Bus event to mark 'Walk, cycle or scoot to school.' Participants gathered at the school at 8:25am before setting off on a 10-minute route, collecting pupils at three designated points along the way.
The event ended on a high note as everyone returned to school to be greeted by a special visitor—Winnie the Pooh—much to the delight of all involved. Everyone who took part was presented with a special badge marking the walk to school week.
Tomorrow, we have our second walking bus of the week - we hope to see you there!
