We are excited to launch Winterton Junior Apprentice next week to years 4 and 5 as part of our enrichment programme for all pupils. This opportunity will help pupils develop important life skills including money management, budgeting, teamwork, communication, problem-solving and enterprise, while building confidence for the future. As part of the programme, pupils will also focus on aspirations and careers, hearing from our school alumni about their experiences of the workplace, career journeys and jobs of the future. We will share more information soon about how you can get involved.

Starfish Class has been making the most of the spring weather, embracing outdoor learning at its very best! We've been learning all about plants and growing, watching nature come to life around us. The children have loved exploring scientifically in the mud kitchen and water areasmixing, pouring, problem-solving and asking lots of curious questions. Our parkour set has been busy too, helping to develop those all-important gross motor skills, as well as building confidence and perseverance. Alongside this, there has been no shortage of imaginative playfrom den building to creating castles and even relaxing in pretend hot tubs! A wonderful reminder of how learning, play and joy come together every day at our school.
