Celebrating the End of SATs – Through Art and Pizza!


























Celebrating the End of SATs – Through Art and Pizza!
After a week of hard work, focus, and determination, our brilliant Year 6s finally completed their SATs! To mark the occasion, we swapped test papers for sketchbooks and took the learning outside for a well-deserved Art Day.
With cameras in hand, the children walked through Rugby town centre, taking photos of the buildings that caught their eye – from intricate details to interesting shapes and bold shopfronts. Back at school, they explored the work of urban sketch artist Phil Dean, using his expressive line style and their own photographs to create some fantastic architectural drawings. There are definitely a few future photographers and architects among us – the level of detail and creativity on show was really impressive.
In the afternoon, we headed to the park to relax and celebrate the end of SATs together. The children enjoyed some fresh air, playtime – and of course, pizza, which was very well received!
We’re incredibly proud of how our Year 6s approached SATs week and just as proud of the way they threw themselves into Art Day with enthusiasm and imagination. What a lovely way to round off a big week!
Year 6's VE Day Fabulous Finish! To wrap up our World at War topic, Year 6 stepped back in time for a day of rationing, recipe planning, and delicious baking! They planned meals for a wartime family of four and baked honey and ginger biscuits for their very own Afternoon Tea street party. Some even came dressed as evacuees to really bring history to life!

Cross Country Success! 🏃♂️🏃♀️
We couldn’t be prouder of our Year 5 and 6 boys and girls for their incredible effort in their first set of cross country races! 🌟 Some of them felt overwhelmed by the pressure at first, but they showed true perseverance and courage, pushing through their fears to perform brilliantly.
In tough weather conditions, they gave it their all and did so well to finish the race. Beyond individual achievements, what stood out the most was their amazing camaraderie—cheering each other on, offering support, and proving that teamwork and resilience go hand in hand. A fantastic effort from everyone! 💪👏
Year 6 got creative today! 🎨✨ They started by posing for each other’s portraits, then tried their hand at drawing their classmates. To finish, they took on the challenge of creating their own self-portraits—lots of concentration, laughter, and impressive artwork!
