  Key Stage 2 Easter Service

  The  Key Stage 2 children went to St Andrew's church in Norton yesterday for our Easter service. The children shared the Easter Patchwork poem brilliantly and  sang out beautifully accompanied by Mrs Cole on his guitar. 

  It was wonderful to welcome Rev Katherine back from her travels in the Holy Lands.

• Year 6 visit Wellcome Genome Campus

  Wed 08 Mar 2023

  Year 6 visited the incredible Wellcome Genome Campus,  a world-leading Genomics facility in Hinxton near Saffron Walden. Scientists here are undertaking ground-breaking research in DNA base classification and the diagnosis and treatment of genetic conditions. The children learnt about DNA sequencing and created coloured bead bracelets which matched the DNA base pairs for different organisms. Then they had a chance to meet and interview scientists involved with projects as diverse as hoverfly research and gut bacteria. It was a great trip and a chance to experience a real scientific research centre.
