Residential 2026

Posted on October 11th, 2025


Well, what an amazing experience Years 5/6 had this week on their residential trip to PGL at Overstrand Hall.

Many activities were enjoyed, including:

Nightline, Climbing, Crate stacking, Problem-Solving, Fencing, Bushcraft Fire lighting, Den building, Team Games, Scavenger hunt, silent disco and campfire.

The children all pushed themselves out of heir comfort zones, supported each other and worked together, even with the bed making!

Kingswood/PGL 2026 was a success!!


*Proud Moment*

We are very proud of the efforts the Year 6’s have put into their Headteacher Prefect letters of application this year.

The decision was extremely difficult but has been made (by 7 separate, impartial adults from our Federation including governors).

Quality Buddy Time

Posted on July 15th, 2025


Friday 11th July

The sun was shining which could only mean one thing: Beach trip!

We had the pleasure of taking the Year 6’s on one last trip out to Hunstanton Beach. Not only that, we took the public bus there and back, where the children asked and paid for their ticket, which is good practice for when they start high school.

Once we arrived, we met up with their Reception buddies and enjoyed a delicious ice cream.

Then we had quality time on the beach having a paddle, making sand castles and forts, before settling down to have chips for lunch.

It was truly lovely seeing the Year 6’s spending that time with their buddies and seeing them having such a fun day!

Mini Tennis Festival

for Yrs 5/6 @ Lynnsport 10/07/25

This was our last sporting event of the school year, 3 teams of 4 (2girls/2boys) travelled to Lynnsport. It was a warm morning, they had taken part in 3 play performances and everyone was feeling a little tired. However, it was a festival therefore no scores were recorded but that didn’t stop them wanting to win. 5 teams took part, Anthony Curton, 2 teams and ourselves, we all played each other. This doesn’t happen often as multiple teams are usually placed in different pools. They were all quite excited about playing against their school mates.

I have to say everyone improved with each game, enjoyed the friendly rivalry and it was a lovely way to end the sporting year.

You are all super stars!

Isaac, Pip, William, Elsa, Dylan, Mila, August, Chloe, Arlo, Lacey, Zacki, Ellenie!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Successful Sports…

Posted on July 7th, 2025


Smithdon Cluster Area Sports

@ Smithdon High School 02/07/25

Following the cancellation of our own Cluster Area Sports we managed to get a place on the Smithdon event. It was a warm evening but there was a bit of breeze which made it ideal. Nine schools took part in various track and field events for years 2-6, in-between there were relay and tunnel ball races which they all enjoyed. For 2 hours it was nonstop and quite hectic which kept the children busy as well as the adults.

The evening was highly competitive with our children rising to the occasion and producing some fantastic performances, with many finishing in the top 3, unfortunately medals were only awarded to winners. Everyone finished with a smile and said they had had a really good time which is what it’s all about.

However we did come away with 3 gold medals, Claudia in the skipping race, Nyla in the 600m endurance race and Pip in the howler throw. Everyone was very happy, supporting and celebrating together as one.

Thank you to all the parents for supporting so we could field a competitor in every event!

Well done

 Pip, Isaac, William, Dylan, Georgina, Harriet, Nyla, Ellenie, Ollie, Cooper, Arlo, Beatrice, Amelia, Ayla, Brogan, Lukas, Edison, Rohan, Otto, Jamie, Claudia, Elodie, Alphia, Rupert.

Pip (Y6) won Gold in the Howler

Nyla (Y5) won Gold in the 600m race

Claudia (Y2) won Gold in the skipping race

Mini Tennis Tournament on 27th June

Posted on June 30th, 2025


Mini Tennis as it’s name suggests is played on half of a full size court and is scored by single points, the first to 7 wins. There were 10 teams taking part divided into 2 pools, the winners and runners up playing off in the semi-final and onto the final.

It started off overcast but the sun soon came out and once again we had a great time at Lynnsport.

Sandringham Spirit played really well, Lacey was joined by Ellenie and Arlo and Zacki, winning 9 games and losing 7, several ended 7-6. They finished 3rd in their pool and 6th overall. Well done Spirit!

Sandringham Stars: Elsa, Pip, William and Isaac won 12 games, losing 4 and finished 2nd in their pool. This meant they went on to play North Wootton Spins in the semi-final; there were some close points but they lost but on games won they finished 3rd overall. Super job Stars!

The event was won by North Wootton Aces with North Wootton Spins in 2nd.

Quadkids at Lynnsport

Posted on June 30th, 2025


Five girls: Lacey, Ellenie, Harriet, Nyla and Georgina along with five boys: Isaac, William, Dylan, Ollie and Edison took part in this competition.

As the name suggests there are 4 skills; 75m sprint, 600m endurance, standing long jump, vortex howler throw which everyone attempts and they gain points for time taken or distance jumped or thrown similar to a pentathlon. You really don’t know where you stand as there are heats and no one knows the times etc. It’s just about doing your best!

I must say that, especially in the 600m they really did listen to advice, inside lane, settle into a comfortable pace and gradually speed up, hopefully passing other competitors along the way for a sprint finish to the line. Obviously it doesn’t always work but it’s important to have a plan. They were nervous but once they started and team members competed it was,

“Yes, I can do this!”

I cannot fail to be proud of our children when they do their best, they encourage and support each other but also competitors from other schools who are struggling to finish. A lady came to me and said, “Please thank that girl over there for encouraging my boy as he went past her!”

There were 10 schools taking part, with 200 points covering the top 4 places which really is not very much.

Denver won, followed by South Wootton, Hunstanton and in 4th Sandringham. It was a lovely afternoon which everyone enjoyed.

Thank you and Well Done!
