In Year 2, we aim to ensure your child reaches their full potential and we will give them the support they need to do so. Year 2 is an important year for our children as they become more independent and develop a deeper understanding of who God has called them to be.
World Book Day 2025!
A brilliant day was had by all!
The children did themselves proud with their creativity and costumes.
We would just like to say, again, a massive thank you to the parents and carers for their support in making this such a wonderful day!

Design Technology- Healthy Food Wrap
In Design and Technology lessons we became chefs and food critics, all-in-one!
To begin our Design and Technology topic, we read a brief which was set for us by the Minister for School Lunches. He told us that children across the country have been unhappy with their school lunches and that the only protein that they are offered is egg! He suggested that children could have plain bread and water but had been told that this could be problematic for their health. He then said that a well-balanced wrap might be a good, healthy option for children in every school but he was unsure of which ingredients should be included.
We then re-visited our learning in science and spoke about a healthy, balanced meal. We discussed food groups such as proteins, carbohydrates (which we knew would be our wrap within our design), fruits and vegetables, and dairy. We came together as a class to discuss different foods which fit within these categories. We also had to consider a vegetarian option! We know that beans and chickpeas are a good source of protein for vegetarians and tried to think of ways that we could include these in our wraps.
We had a great time designing, creating and evaluating our wraps. Enjoy looking at our photos!
