Pupils took part in an engaging and thought-provoking British Values Day focused on the theme of the Rule of Law. Throughout the morning, pupils explored why laws are important in modern society and discussed how they help to keep people safe both online and offline.

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.
