Well done to our Year 5 and 6 swimmers who competed in the Cheltenham Primary Schools’ Gala. The children took part in relay races, with six swimmers in each team, and represented the school brilliantly.
A special well done goes to our Year 5 team, who came an impressive 4th out of 17 schools, just missing out on the bronze medal. We are very proud of all the children for their effort, teamwork and determination.🏊🏼♀️
🎭 Music & Drama Social Week Highlights 🎶
What an incredible week of creativity, confidence and performance across the Pre‑Prep and Prep!
Our Reception class, Mrs Reid’s Year 1 group, and the Year 2&3 pupils shone brightly at the Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts, taking part in the Year 3 and Under Choral Speaking class. Their wonderfully humorous and expressive performances captivated the audience, showcasing fantastic teamwork, clear voices, expressive actions and excellent timing. Their confidence and enthusiasm lit up the stage.
A huge congratulations to Mrs Reid’s Year 2&3 group, whose brilliant performance of The Hairy Toe particularly impressed the adjudicator and earned them a well‑deserved trophy 🏆
Our Reception class, the youngest performers in the entire competition, achieved an outstanding 2nd place, while our small but mighty Year 1 private drama group delighted the audience and secured 3rd place. What an achievement for all involved.
We were also thrilled to celebrate our solo festival performers too!
Well done to every child for their hard work, dedication and brilliant teamwork in preparing and performing their pieces. We couldn’t be prouder 👏✨

A huge well done to all the children involved — competing against 33 schools was a fantastic achievement, and every pupil should be incredibly proud of their effort and attitude throughout the day. 👏🏅
