Basketball Wow Day!Our pupils had a day
they will never forget
when they met Britain’s
tallest man who is also
the World’s tallest
basketball player!
Paul Sturgess, 7ft 7in,
and a former Harlem
Globe Trotter, spoke to
the whole school about
his life and career. He
talked about a positive
outlook and embracing
differences – he is
obviously very different
to most people but he
has made this work to
his advantage.
October“The term is underway”
Students visit Springfield House
Our children regularly visit Springfield House and interact with the residents.
“The best part of the visit was when I got to teach them how to sing and dance to ‘Baby Shark’. It was fun. We taught them a dance routine and some boxing techniques.”

Our first charity event of the school year.
Food for The Well
To support our whole school curriculum driver of
Courageous Advocacy we decided in November to
support The Well Food Bank in Wolverhampton by
putting together food parcels that will be sent out
to those families that need some extra support over
the Christmas period.

All of Year 6 had the opportunity to visit Dudley Zoological Gardens. As part of their science lessons, they have been learning about classification of animals so they took part in a workshop to enhance their learning. A chinchilla, parrot, tarantula and cockroach were among the creatures they were able to observe closely and even hold or touch.

Warwick Castle Year 7 visit
On Wednesday 20th November 2019, Year 7 visited
Warwick Castle. Our first activity was the Time Tower,
where we sat in an old Anglo-Saxon style room. In the room
were two projectors which told us stories of the darker
sides of Warwick Castle. We then moved upstairs to a 3D
model of a tiny Warwick Castle that changed colour and had
little animations throughout the experience. Finally, we
ended up in a room where paintings on the wall spoke to us
about the Royals who previously fought and lived around the
castle.
