We are incredibly proud to have organised and hosted this year’s annual Country Dance Festival,bringing together 22 schools from across the boroughs of Kingston and Richmond—as well aswelcoming visiting schools from neighbouring boroughs.

This is our new Inclusion Hub, generously funded by the wonderful PSA. It quickly transformed from the old IT suite into a green space with murals on the walls, becoming a delightful and calming multi-purpose area for our children.

Newton Class embarked on a fantastic educational Tudor trip to Hampton Court Palace. We started off with a workshop investigating Henry’s powerful personality and his struggle to break away from the Catholic Church to form the Church of England. The workshop has encouraged the children to reflect on how Henry’s actions shaped history at a personal vs religious principle level, using primary and secondary sources. We also explored the grand kitchen, Henry’s apartments and the

A group of Year 5s attended an athletics event at Weir Archer stadium. The event included a 600m race, a 75m sprint, standing long jump, and a vortex throw. Despite the unpredictable weather, they pushed through and did great. Our school came in 3rd.

Our tennis group were invited to the London Youth Games. They enjoyed learning new skills, meeting new people, and playing lots of matches against schools from all over London.

Our Year 2 explorers headed off on a highly anticipated trip to London Zoo that turned out to be an absolute roaring success. The children had a truly fabulous time discovering a world of incredible creatures, with the magnificent tigers lounging in their habitat and the captivating gorilla family, whose young ones had everyone utterly mesmerised. Moving from the giants to the smaller wonders, the children became expert trackers as they watched industrious leafcutter ants mar

Our Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) did a fantastic job leading our Walk to School Week! They kicked off the week with an inspiring whole-school assembly, reminding us all how important it is to stay safe on our daily journeys. The team gave an excellent presentation on the golden rules of road safety: Stop, Look, and Listen before crossing the road. A special thank you to Jude, who brought his bicycle along to demonstrate top-tier cycling safety. He demonstrated why wear

St John’s was filled with the spirit of discovery as we celebrated the milestone 100th birthday of the legendary naturalist, Sir David Attenborough. From our youngest learners in Nursery to our budding scientists in Year 6, every child took part in honouring a man who has dedicated his life to protecting our planet. Our youngest explorers focused on the magic of the natural world and the significance of the number 100. A highlight of the day for Nursery was the "Attenbear" Pi

This week our Year 5 RRS Ambassadors, Faith Group and School Council led our World Toilet Day assembly. This is an annual United Nations observance day to tackle the global sanitation crisis. Our Ambassadors raised awareness of the 3.5 billion people living without safe toilets and 2.2 billion people living without safe drinking water. They were keen to link this to Article 24: Every child has the right to the best possible health. Governments must provide good quality health

Year 3 have been celebrating Earth Day this week. The class have been gardening and weeding outside the office and the school gates. They have also created pledges and planted some watercress to increase the use of oxygen for humans.

This week, our children have been incredibly busy looking after their environment and putting their green thumbs to the test. They have had a wonderful time getting outdoors and planting seeds, beautiful flowers, potatoes, cress and sunflower seeds! Alongside weeding the flowerbeds and enthusiastically picking up litter to keep our grounds clean, they have been learning that every small action—whether it’s remembering to recycle , turning off the classroom lights, or simply p

Our Key Stage 1 scientists had a blast this week in Science Club exploring the cool world of sublimation and gas expansion. Using dry ice and custom-built "vapor blasters," children observed firsthand how solid carbon dioxide turns directly into a thick, swirling mist. The classroom was filled with excitement (and plenty of fog!) as everyone donned their safety goggles to experiment with pressure and states of matter. It was a fantastic afternoon of hands-on discovery that pr

The nursery children listened to the Easter story. They waved palm leaves and shouted “Hosanna” as Jesus rode into the city on a donkey. They saw that Jesus had a special meal with his friends and thought he might have drunk some water. They remembered that they pray like Jesus did in the special garden. They were shocked to hear that the soldiers came and took Jesus away. When Jesus died, his friends put him in a special cave. Henry was shocked to see that Jesus wasn’t in th

To celebrate and encourage active travel, Nursery and Reception were invited to get creative, decorate their wheels, and ride their bikes and scooters into school for a spectacular grand parade. At the end of the school day, the children paraded their blinged-up bikes and sparkled scooters around the playground as parents cheered and celebrated their hard work. Well done all for your dazzling designs!

A huge well done to Grace in Year 6 for brilliantly leading our Language of the Month! Grace took us on a wonderful journey to Italy, confidently sharing her beautiful language and culture with everyone. During her fantastic presentation, she taught us how to greet each other with a friendly "Ciao" (hello) and how to say "Arrivederci" (goodbye). We also learned about incredible historical landmarks to visit in Rome, such as the famous Colosseum. Fun Fact from Grace: Did you k

Year 5 visited Conerstone church for the Easter experience. The class travelled back 2,000 years to Jesus’ time. They immersed themselves in the Easter story in real-time and met characters who were at crucial events from the last days before Jesus’ death, and those after his resurrection. The class then went to the discovery zone to investigate how the death of Jesus has had an impact on the lives of Christians in present day. Some of the important figures were: Mary Berry,

Our Year 3 boys represented us at a football competition between many schools in the borough. They played with passion and showed great sportsmanship. We are so proud of them.

For our Global Neighbours project, we looked into our food wastage from school dinners. We used our record book of daily waste and added it together for Autumn term, and again for Spring term. We were shocked to find out how much waste we had created, and shared this news with the school. We hope our presentation helps our food wastage decrease in them Summer term.
