PTA Update – End of Autumn Term 2025

It’s been a busy term for the PTA, with a host of events that have been great fun to plan for our school community. We began the year with a PTA survey and are already making progress on a number of the actions that came out of this. Thank you to everyone who took the time to contribute.

This Term’s Events

It’s been a packed few months, including:

• Parent Socials at the start of term and our Christmas Social, both well attended. We’d love feedback on whether we continue this format, as it’s designed to bring parents together across year groups.
• The Lower School Halloween Party, with huge thanks to our class reps for the brilliant homemade treats.
• Wreath Making Night, always a highlight. It was lovely to have so many staff join us, with Christmas music, creativity, and lots of festive cheer. Photo attached (some wreaths hadn’t been finished at the time the pic was taken!)
• Breakfast with Santa, a real end-of-term highlight. This couldn’t have happened without the generous support of our sponsors Hallets and Foundry Gym, and thank you to parents for such positive feedback.
• Our first joint event with the Kew Society, a Christmas Decorations Workshop at the Trindle Tipi, attended by children from five local schools. We’re keen to build more community partnerships like this in 2026.
  If you’d like to join the Kew Society, membership is £10 per year: https://www.kewsociety.org/become-a-member/

Annual Carol Service at St Anne's Church

Our school community came together at the beautiful St Anne’s Church for the annual Carol Service, a cherished tradition that marks the festive season. The children sang a selection of traditional carols with enthusiasm and joy, filling the church with a wonderful sense of warmth and celebration. Families and staff joined in to make the occasion truly special, and the readings by pupils added an extra touch of meaning to the event. Thank you to everyone who helped make this service such a memorable highlight of our Christmas celebrations!

Year 3 at Kew Sparkle

Our Year 3 children gave a fantastic performance at the Kew Sparkle event on Friday, 5th December.

It was wonderful to see so many families come along to support the children and enjoy the magical atmosphere of this much-loved community event.

Artwork of the Week

The whole school created a variety of Christmas crafts and decorations, which helped everyone get into a festive mood.

Eco Club’s Festive Finale

We enjoyed our final Eco Club session of the year with a fun and relaxed afternoon. The group played an RSPB-themed version of Guess Who, got creative with recycled materials to make their own Christmas cards and wreaths and even shared some RSPB crackers to celebrate the season. Bella proudly showed off the beautiful card she designed, while Pippa and Lily took things a step further by creating their own version of Guess Who alongside a festive wreath. It was a wonderful way to wrap up the year with creativity and teamwork!

Red Belts for our Karate Kids

Congratulations to Ryan, Gabby, Elena, Tamara, Ilaan, Kanna & Nuno in Year 2 for recently passing their 1st karate grading. They are now very proud owners of red belts! Well done all! What an amazing achievement.

Celebrating Frankie's Ballet Success

A huge congratulations to Frankie in Year 5 for her incredible achievement in ballet! She recently completed her Grade 2 RAD ballet exam and was awarded both a Gold and a Distinction. For this level of exam, each student performs three different dances, interpreting three unique characters and styles. The exam is assessed on a wide range of criteria, making this accomplishment even more impressive. Frankie’s favorite piece was her Charlie Chaplin dance, where her comedic personality truly shone, leading to her highest score! Well done Frankie, we are so proud of this outstanding achievement.

Ayan's Musical Achievement

We are thrilled to celebrate Ayan’s recent accomplishment in music! She has successfully passed her ABRSM Grade 2 flute exam with Merit, showcasing her dedication and talent. This achievement reflects many hours of practice and a strong commitment to developing her musical skills. We are proud of Ayan’s hard work and look forward to seeing her continue to grow as a musician. Keep up the fantastic effort, Ayan!

Congratulations to Lily (Y3) who acheived a Merit in her Pre Grade Higher Piano exam and to Isablla (Y5) who achieved a Merit in her Grade 2 Piano exam. Well done to all three of you, we are so proud of your hard work and talent!
