Our Year 6 class enjoyed a superb day out in London visiting the Royal Mews and the Houses of Parliament. It was a very early start from Stoke Railway Station but visiting both the House of Commons and the House of Lords during the Brexit debates was well worth the early start and late finish.
As part of their learning challenge linked to their home town, Stoke-on-Trent, year 2 visited Middleport Pottery Museum.

Year 5 have been working with Keele University as part of their Explore University project. The project began with the children creating a university out of lego. This prompted lots of discussion and resulted in some children counting down the years until they could go to university themselves. A great result!
Our key stage 2 children were visited by Staffordshire Fire and Rescue who delivered an assembly on how to stay safe around water, especially lakes and rivers. This was very informative and should help our children to stay safe around water.
