Read below to find out more about some of the different activities we have been getting up to; from sporting and musical activities, to visitors and 'wow' days. We are looking forward to helping our children 'explore and grow' further in 2025-26.

• Parent Lunch

  Thu 14 Nov 2013

  Many thanks to all the parents who came and joined us for lunch today. Lizzie did a stirling job and we all enjoyed a roast chicken main course followed by chocolate sponge and custard.
  
  We are so lucky to have all our meals cooked fresh every day on site. Hopefully you will have been as impressed with quality of the food on offer as we are!

   

• TAG Rugby Tournament

  Wed 13 Nov 2013
  Well done to all the year 5/6 children who took part in the inter-school TAG Rugby tournament. It is always lovely when staff and parents return from sports events and comment on the lovely manners and great sportsmanship that you all show. Four matches were played; we won one and lost three. However, lots of tactics were learnt, and we are looking forward to a rematch, after further training, in March!

• Remembrance Day

  Mon 11 Nov 2013
  Key Stage 2 joined a group of people from Exton village for the village Act of Remembrance at the war memorial. The names of the fallen were read, and some children shared the poems they had written in response to 'In Flander's Fields'. This annual event is very important to the school and we are pleased to be able to join with the village to remember those who have died and are still fighting in the Armed Forces.

• Community Lunch

  Thu 17 Oct 2013
  Thank you to all the people who attended our Community lunch on Thursday. Lizzie's stew was delicious and the treacle tart went down well too.
  Everyone enjoyed the children's singing, from our youngest singing some of their Harvest songs, to the Key Stage 2 children singing some new songs they have been learning, and even taking us on a Roller Ghoster ride!
  Many thanks to the local businesses who contributed prizes towards the raffle. We raised £40 which will go towards improving our school playground painting.
  The next community lunch is on Thursday 12th December at 1.30pm and will be Christmas dinner. Book early to reserve your place!

• Non-uniform day for the Air Ambulance

  Fri 11 Oct 2013
  On Friday 11th October we held a non-uniform day to raise funds for the Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance as they celebrate their 10th anniversary. Putting this together with the money we raised in the summer term we will be handing over a cheque for £120. For a small school this is a great achievement.

• Harvest Festival

  Thu 03 Oct 2013
  Our harvest festival was a great community event, and we were pleased to welcome many parents and people from the local community to join us. This year we focussed on Harvest in the UK, with Key Stage 1 acting out a story and singing some songs, and Key Stage 2 sharing what they have been learning about the farming year.
  
  Our collection for the Rutland Food Bank meant that we were able to hand over more than 75 tins and packets to help support those in the local community who need help putting food on the table for their families.

• A visit from the Bishop of Brixworth

  Fri 27 Sep 2013
  On Friday 27th September we were pleased to welcome the Bishop of Brixworth to our assembly. He bought all of his robes, and we were able to see him 'get dressed' while he explained why Bishop's wear purple, why they then cover this with white robes, why they wear a stole and also look at his Bishop's staff and mitre. Mrs Davis even learnt things, even though she grew up in a vicarage!
  
  
  Before he went, the Bishop bravely answered our many questions. Key Stage One were most interested in how he travelled; while Key Stage Two had plenty of questions about his job and what he did all day!
  
  Many thanks to Clare Hitchcox for bringing the Bishop to us from Greetham. We hope he enjoyed the rest of his weekend in the Cottesmore team of churches!

• FOEG's meeting

  Tue 24 Sep 2013
  Our Parents Association (FOEG's) will be holding a meeting on Tuesday 24th September in the school community room. All are welcome to attend.

• Bikeability

  Thu 05 Sep 2013
  Year's 5 and 6 once again have the opportunity to learn how to ride a bike safely on the roads.
  
  The course runs for 4 weeks.

• Leavers Breakfast

  Fri 19 Jul 2013
  Yet again we shared a delicious leaver's breakfast on the last morning of term, ably cooked by the staff. Sausages, scrambled eggs, baked beans and toast were enjoyed by all. Three cheers for the master chef in the kitchen, Mrs Whitehead, cooking her last leaver's breakfast!
