Year 6 Cathedral Visit 

Our Year 6 pupils visited Lincoln Cathedral as part of the Church Schools Festival. Each year the Diocesan Education Centre organises the Church Schools Festival in Lincoln Cathedral over the course of six days in June. In total approximately 3000 children from more than 100 schools took part. We were pleased to be able to join our year 6 friends from Morton school.

In the morning, the children had a guided tour of the Cathedral, led by Cathedral Guides. They learned about the Cathedral, about God and about themselves and to give thanks and praise for all that God is and has done. Then, they explored the new Discovery centre, which was an exciting hands-on exhibition, providing engaging interpretation of the Cathedral. We had a wonderful day drawing a Christian symbols to create a stained-glass effect, singing iSing POP songs and hymns, and exploring this wonderful building. In the afternoon there was an Act of Worship, where the bishop blessed the banners and the candles.

Fieldwork to Brayford Pool 

Year 5/6 had a great trip to the Brayford Pool for our local history and geography learning about the changes around the Brayford. Very grateful to BGU Lincoln and their geography students for collaborating with us. 

Hawthorn class at Bomber command

Hawthorn had a fantastic day at the International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln as part of their learning about the Battle of Britain. The children enjoyed a guided tour of the Spire and memorial site, including the chance to step inside a reconstructed Anderson Shelter. They also took part in an interactive exploration of the Exhibition and completed activities using worksheets provided by the centre’s learning team. A favourite part of the day was the object‑handling workshop, where pupils examined real and replica artefacts and uniforms to uncover the human stories behind Bomber Command. It was an exciting and memorable experience that greatly deepened their understanding of this important period in history.

Oak class Farm Trip

Each year our EYFS children visit Rand Farm park in Lincoln or Tattershall farm park in Tattershall as part of their learning about our local community and the important role farming plays in our area. The trip helps children understand where food comes from, why farms matter to Lincolnshire, and how farmers care for the land and animals around us.

During the visit, the children enjoy seeing a range of farm animals, learning how they are looked after, and learn about the different jobs people do on a farm. This experience supports their understanding of the world, deepens their knowledge of the community they live in, and gives them a memorable, hands‑on opportunity to explore life on a working farm.

Whole School trip to the panto

Each year we have a whole school trip to a pantomime - over the years we have enjoyed Rapunzel and Snow White.
