Celebrating Our Climate‑Ready Classroom Award Achievement May 2026 - The Weatherbies visited our school today to help us celebrate receiving this fantastic award. They were delighted to see all the wonderful eco‑work happening in Nursery and how we use their characters to help our children learn about climate change from such a young age. Their visit recognised the creativity, enthusiasm, and commitment shown by our pupils as they explore weather, sustainability, and caring for our world.

Trip to Wild Ireland as part of the Aspire Shared Education project

Our visit to Wild Ireland as part of the Shared Education Aspire project was a truly magical experience. We explored the Wild Arctic exhibit, where we watched wolves and bears being fed and admired other incredible Arctic animals such as snowy owls and Arctic foxes. The highlight was sharing the adventure with our friends from Hilltop in Buncrana, strengthening our partnership through this special day together. To make it even more festive, we stepped into Santa’s grotto, met his cheerful elves, and were delighted to see Santa’s real reindeers, which brought the perfect touch of Christmas wonder to our visit.
