World Book Day was a truly wonderful celebration of imagination and creativity! So many children came to school in amazing costumes, bringing their favourite stories vividly to life. We began the day with a fabulous whole‑school assembly, where Mrs Saxton crafted an adventure story using ideas from every class. The highlight was watching Mrs Garlick guide four talented children as they illustrated the story live while it was being created!

There was excitement in the air at Church Hill this week as pupils took to the stage for the school’s much-anticipated annual Talent Competition.

Please read the newsletter below to find out how we are developing Responsibility in our school community over the next half term.

Church Hill C of E Junior School is delighted to celebrate the achievements of our pupils following the announcement of this term’s Attendance Award and Reading Raffle winners.

We are incredibly proud to share that around 40% of the school did not miss a single day this term, demonstrating fantastic commitment, resilience and enthusiasm for learning. All pupils who achieved 100% attendance were rewarded with 15 house points each, recognising their outstanding effort. Their names were then entered into a prize draw using a spinning wheel, building excitement across the school. The wheel stopped on one lucky pupil, who was awarded an Amazon voucher as this term’s attendance winner.

Our Year 3/4 children delivered a wonderful performance of Don’t Be Afraid, bringing the nativity story to life with confidence, humour and joy. The pupils sang beautifully, spoke clearly and worked together brilliantly to share the true meaning of Christmas with our school community.

Church Hill C of E Junior School held its much-anticipated biannual Environmental Day this week, bringing the whole school together to learn, reflect and take positive action for the planet. The day- led by Mrs Garick, the school's Geography leader- marked an exciting start to a new topic of conversation in which every class explored the environment, the challenges it faces and the steps we can all take to protect it.
