We love being a part of this community and we would like to thank the Dorchester Festival organisers for the wonderful opportunities offered to our school as part of the festival this year. Our Year 3,4 and 5 children absolutely loved taking part in the opera. They made friends from other local schools and were able to sing alongside professional opera singers. They really nailed their Friday afternoon performance and I felt both moved and incredibly proud as I watched our children shine their lights.

We were also able to share the joy with many others as our younger children joined Nick Cope on stage at the end of his show to sing the last couple of songs with him. Once again I felt immense pride as I watched our children take to the stage to perform in front of a packed Abbey.

Recently our children have taken the opportunity to visit Bishop’s Court Farm to see the lambs and other animals and Willow Class took part in a geography field trip to the rec where they created beautiful journey sticks and learned more about our local area.

Our Year 5 and 6 children are looking forward to their residential trip to Woodlands and we are sure they will have lots of amazing stories to tell and memories to cherish.

We have spaces in school and you are welcome to come and visit us to see what we can offer your child. You can find out more from our website here: https://www.st-birinus-pri.oxon.sch.uk/
