This afternoon house leaders have been very busy writing questionnaires.
They want to know your ideas to improve the school. Next week they will be coming into your classrooms to find out what you want. They will be asking you:
-How the school can help you form friendships?
-How the school can celebrate your talents?
-How the school can improve writing and the library area?
-How the school can improve worship?
We are delighted to inform you about our recent SIAMS inspection. We have been judged as outstanding in all areas again for a second time.

Oh Dickens! It’s Christmas
To finish off our Victorian topic in style, Year 3 are fundraising to pay towards a visit to Chatsworth House this December. On Wednesday 13th December we shall be putting on our glad rags and heading out to the beautiful Peak District. Letters to come home tomorrow and lots of fundraising planned. Here is an overview …
The Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future will all visit Chatsworth this year as the festive season is given a Victorian Gothic twist with ‘Oh Dickens! It’s Christmas’, a celebration of Charles Dickens’ best loved works.
Actors playing Scrooge, Fagin, Miss Havisham and others from Dickens’ rich cast of characters will bring the theme to life, along with room guides in period costume, as they roam around in the fog and gaslight of Chatsworth’s grand rooms. Visitors of all ages can join in the fun by choosing from dozens of character costumes ready to try on and made by Chatsworth’s textile team.
Rooms throughout the house feature period sets that evoke both the splendour and squalor of Dickensian London – as well as the London docks and Victorian shop fronts, specific scenes from the books, such as Scrooge’s bed, have been recreated in detail. Thousands of traditional and lavish seasonal decorations and hundreds of metres of ribbon will dress the celebrated Painted Hall, Oak Room, Chapel, State Dining Room and Sculpture Gallery, which will also contain 25 real trees, two of which stand more than seven metres tall.
This enchanting interpretation of books such as A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist, The Old Curiosity Shop and A Tale of Two Cities will feature large-scale illustrations, wall murals, sound and light effects, projections and props. Artists such as the paper sculptor Su Blackwell are working with Chatsworth to help recreate the Christmas spirit that Dickens sought to highlight in the gathering together of families and the enjoyment of food, drink, dancing and games.
Displays will also include related items from Chatsworth’s own collections, such as letters from Dickens himself to the 6th Duke of Devonshire; first editions of books including Little Dorrit and A Tale of Two Cities; and letters from Duchess Georgiana to her mother from Paris during the uprising referenced in ‘A Tale of Two Cities’.
