Year 4 Cricket Trip: 13th September 2023

On Wednesday 13^th September, I arranged for Year 4 to attend The Somerset Cricket Foundation Schools' Day at The County Cricket Ground in Taunton. It was the first event of the school year in our local community and it was a great opportunity for the children to experience a day at the cricket and become inspired by our local players!

They watched an exciting game between Western Storm and Central Sparks, met the players and took part in some cricket skills activities. Some of our Year 4 girls were even lucky enough to lead the players onto the ground as the guard of honour! These photos show how much fun Year 4 had during the day!

Year 5 Bikeability : 19th January 2023

An enormous thank you to Mrs Davies and Mrs Edmends, who along with Somerset Road Safety, enabled children in Year 5 to undertake their two day Bikeability programme this week. Despite the occasional snow shower(!) The children were exemplary in their behaviour and we are especially proud that one of our pupils commented to the instructor: ‘I am very grateful for you coming in to teach us as we have enjoyed getting out on our bikes and learning to be safe’.

We were able to ensure that all children were given the opportunity as the school has bought a couple of bicycles to ensure that everyone could be involved.

Cross Country Event : October 2022

Congratulations to the 12 children who took part in the cross country event this week. We have a lot of budding runners with nearly all our children placing within the top 20!

395 runners participated over the two evenings which surpasses the pre-pandemic figures, so that is a huge positive.

Can I take this opportunity to thank Brymore for use of the school facilities, Brymore staff and most importantly to Brymore students who helped out in numerous ways. Also, a big thank you to Alex Caird from SASP.

Northgate Football Tournament : 12th October 2022

What an incredible experience; to be able to watch the St Johns and St Francis football team represent our school! A really big congratulations to each and every child who took part and equally a big thank you to the parents that helped to make it possible to do so.

Overall we came a respectable 3rd out of the 5 teams that took part which is worthy of celebration (Thank you to Oliver’s mum for the sweets)

Below you can see some footage and photos of the game!
