  Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “It is of great credit to the children of this country that in world record breaking numbers they picked up their paintbrushes, pens and paints and paid artistic tribute to the heroes of our coronavirus response. Their brilliant efforts represent the collective gratitude of the nation to everyone who went above and beyond during the pandemic. Congratulations to all those who have made it to the next round and thank you to everyone who has taken part.”

      

  Simon Thompson, Royal Mail CEO, said: “We would like to thank all of the 606,049 children who submitted such brilliant designs to the competition. We have been humbled by the sheer volume of entries. And to have achieved a Guinness World Records title in the process shows how much the UK’s children value those heroes who have kept the nation moving during such a difficult period.

• Macmillan Coffee Morning

  Sun 26 Sep 2021

  Thank you to everyone who sent in cakes and contributions for our fundraising event, hosted brilliantly by Year 6. It was lovely to see so many parents back in school, enjoying the opportunity to sit down and meet up with other members of the school community whilst raising money for a very deserving charity. Our Year 6 children, along with the Year 6 team of teachers and support staff, put a great deal of work into planning and promoting the event and I’d like to thank them all for doing such a brilliant job. In the process they have gained themselves their first credit towards our newly introduced Year 6 Citizenship Award which I launched with them this week. Details of how much was raised, following the afternoon’s sell off of cakes will be communicated to parents soon!
