Our recent Harvest Festival was a wonderful celebration of community, talent, and thanksgiving! The event was very well attended, with families, friends, and members of the local community coming together to mark this special occasion.

The morning was filled with music and joy, beginning with beautiful performances on the organ and piano by some of our very talented children. Their confidence and musicianship were truly inspiring and set a lovely tone for the rest of the event.

We were also treated to an insightful and heartfelt speech by the EARA group, who reminded us of the importance of inclusion, understanding, and supporting one another—values that lie at the heart of our community.

The celebration concluded with wonderful singing from the children, whose enthusiasm and bright voices filled the room with happiness and warmth. Their songs captured the spirit of the harvest perfectly—gratitude, sharing, and hope.

A huge thank-you to everyone who attended and helped make the Harvest Festival such a memorable and uplifting event. It was a true reflection of our school’s community spirit and the joy of coming together to celebrate all that we have.

Fantastic Results at the Year 3/4 Cross Country Run! 

Butser Hill Challenge – Junior Runners Take on the Heights!

On Sunday 14th September, the steep slopes of Hampshire’s famous Butser Hill were once again alive with energy, excitement, and determination as over 250 junior runners gathered for the annual Butser Hill Challenge, proudly organised by Churcher’s College.

With children from local schools taking part, the event showcased not just athletic talent, but also resilience and team spirit as the runners faced the gruelling climb up the iconic hill. The course is renowned for its punishing gradient, but that didn’t stop our young athletes from giving it their all.

Among the standout performances from our school were:

• Luna and Sophie (Year 3), who showed fantastic courage and enthusiasm in their first taste of the challenge.

• Ted (Year 5), who stormed up the hill to secure an impressive 2nd place in the boys’ race — a brilliant achievement in such a competitive field.

• George (Year 6), who pushed hard and finished strongly, rounding off a superb day of racing.

The atmosphere was buzzing, with families and friends lining the route, cheering on every runner as they conquered the tough ascent. The day wasn’t just about placings — it was about celebrating effort, determination, and the joy of being part of such a memorable community event.
