This afternoon, our reading ambassadors were out in force reading to other crews around school. Our reading ambassadors are really enjoying leading on reading week and they are making me so proud!
This afternoon, we celebrated the grand opening of our new library with a beautiful event attended by lots of our community. With representations from our school community, local council, our XP Trust, and even an author – we thank everyone for attending and sharing the special moment with us.
A special thank you to our Friends of Green Top who have supported us so much with raising money to make our dream happen – without you it would have been impossible!
Thank you also to our wonderful reading ambassadors for hosting the event – we think they did a fantastic job for their first event and they are excited for many more to come!
This video shows the incredible journey we have been on to create our beautiful so please take a few minutes to watch to celebrate how far we have come!
Finally, thank you to Phil Sheppard for taking the time to attend our launch and for your generous donation of books towards our library! We are also pleased to be taking part in the ‘Take10toRead’ on Friday 10th October as part of World Mental Health Day!
Thank you to all the adults that were able to join us on Friday morning to support our first coffee morning of the year and support MacMillan!
Our Student Leaders really enjoyed being a part of their first event and helping to sell some buns and cakes at the end of the school day!
Yesterday, some of last years Crew Councillors went to Thorne Memorial park to see their final boards being displayed. At the end of last school year, the councillors worked with members of Thorne and Moorends Town Council to create some boards to keep the new play area safe. They enjoyed seeing it completed and helping to put them onto the gates.
I’m so proud of all of their hard work last year and I’m looking forward to working with Thorne and Moorends Council with our new Crew Councillors.

After the children had performed and supported at the VE Day celebrations in Moorends, the children were surprised with a visit from a local veteran from the RBL. He was so impressed with their performance and the children’s behaviour that he wanted to give them something back. The children were so grateful for their bars of chocolate – they definitely went down a treat!
