A huge thanks to all who gave up their time for our first Careers afternoon! Years 4,5 & 6 had a great time learning about different careers and routes into them! We are very grateful for their support!

Congratulations to Pegasus who won on a very warm Sports Day of 2024! Well done Phoenix who came second, Griffin who came third and Salamander who came fourth! 🏆☀️

Year 6 have had a fantastic day at Newbury Racecourse today. We learnt all about the different aspects of the Raceday this morning and then got to watch some races this afternoon. A big thank you to Racing For Schools and Newbury Racecourse for inviting us!

Year 4 are already having an excellent time at Rushall Farm!

Well done Year 6 for demonstrating all of our school values this week during your SATs. We are incredibly proud of you all and had a fantastic day with you today! We hope you all have wonderful weekends.

A phenomenal afternoon with Graffiti Classics performing for our school today! The children loved it as did our staff! Tickets still available for tonight!

Fab day for some Quadkids action! Good luck Team Winchcombe! Thanks to all our staff and families for supporting us today! ☀️ 💪🏼 🏃🏼‍♂️

Glorious day for some Y3/4 Cricket! Huge thanks to Berkshire Cricket for hosting us and other local schools! 🏏

Come join us on Friday after school!

As our lovely banner outside school says - our cake and uniform sale is this Friday at 3.15pm in the school hall.
Please join us for a piece of cake and give some pre-loved uniform a good home!
You will be able to donate by cash or by QR code, or if you're in need of some uniform please do come and take it for free, we would rather see it in use than sitting in a cupboard, and remember it is always available in the reception area if you can't make the sale on Friday.

Please bring donations of cakes, biscuits and sweet treats along with a list of ingredients to school reception on Friday morning, and remember we are a nut free school.
Many thanks.

A huge thank you to Mayor, Cllr Nigel Foot and Deputy Mayor, Cllr Andy Moore for hosting our school councillors for Years 5 & 6!

We are holding a Cake and Uniform Sale after school next Friday 26th April.

We have lots of uniform which we would like to see go to a good home - if you would like to leave a donation you will be able to do so in cash or you can pay on SumUp by scanning one of our QR codes on the day - if you haven't already, please visit https://www.sumup.com/en-gb/pay/ in advance to download the app, set up a profile and enter your payment details and make sure you have a QR Barcode Reader on your phone - this will make things quicker for this and future FOWS events.
We do like to see the uniform being re-used, so please do come and take as much as you need!

We would be grateful for cake donations too please, you can leave these in reception on the morning of 26th April.

Thank you for supporting us as always.

Parents/Carers - if you are struggling with the cost of living and would enjoy a free, tasty meal with your children please join us at one of our sessions on Mondays at 3.30. Enjoy eating with us while the children play!

A brilliant day at Reading Museum with Year 6. The children learnt all about life in the Victorian era and experienced an extremely strict teacher in the schoolroom!

Stay tuned for updates on this journey!

Great to round off our Y3 Stone/Bronze/Iron Age learning with hands on history! Not even the ☔️ could dampen our enthusiasm!
