• Gold Arts Mark Award

  Tue 19 Dec 2023 Mrs Dowse

  Southglade Primary has been awarded a prestigious Artsmark Gold Award. This is a great achievement for the staff and pupils.

   

  Artsmark is the only creative quality standard for schools and is accredited by Arts Council England.  It is awarded after a rigorous assessment process that ensures that arts, culture and creativity are embedded across the curriculum.

   

  Highlights of our feedback from Arts Council England include:

  • You clearly have a long-term commitment to arts and culture which is beginning to have measurable effects on staff and pupils.
  • All pupils can access a diverse and consistent range of arts and cultural provision through work with local arts and cultural organisations, both in school and on visits outside the classroom.
  • Your work with Creative Collaboratives sound really exciting and we look forward to hearing what new creative strategies are developed in school.

   

  We look forward to developing our creative work further…

   

  A huge thank-you to Mrs Dowse for all of her hard work and commitment to the creative arts at Southglade Primary School

• Silent Disco

  Mon 04 Dec 2023 Mr Pegram

  On Friday 1st of December 2023, Year 5 and 3MC- the leading classes for attendance during the proceeding 4 days- were invited to a silent disco hosted by Gem FM in our KS2 hall. Jo and Sparky from Gem FM set up the KS2 hall and the silent disco began at 2pm.

  The children all had their own set of headphones that linked to Sparky; they enjoyed music including some Christmas classics from Mariah and Wham and some party tunes including Music Man and Cha Cha Slide.

  The behaviour of all the children was exemplary- they even initiated a Christmas Conga; many children enjoyed a Christmas dance with Jo on the dancefloor.

  This was Gem FMs first silent disco at a school and they told us that they had had the best time and that they had felt so welcome.

  The children all agreed that it was the best day ever.

• Y6 Kingswood Residential

  Wed 25 Oct 2023 Mr Pegram

  Between the dates of 18th October and the 20th October, Y6 pupils went on their residential to Kingswood.

  The children enjoyed a range of activities including; a campfire with loads of energetic singing and games; beach activities including hole digging and sculpture building; the leap of faith; Jacob's ladder; mini-beast hunts in the pouring rain, sports of activities and funny races on the lawn and problem solving.

  The children also enjoyed time in their dorms and chilling out with their friends. The weather on the first two days was kind. The Friday was wet thanks to Storm Babet- this resulted in a five and a half hour journey. However, we all arrived home safely.

  Below are a few pictures of the trip.
