On Friday 25^th September, we celebrated with our usual citizenship / good Samaritan students, achievement certificates, Year 6 award, Headteachers' Award and Birthdays. The additional highlights this week were that our birthday song was played on the piano by a Hamish (Yr 6) and our mixed Year 5 / 6 football team had won the MCS Cup 2026!

On Fridays we love our celebration assembly. From music certificates to sports certificates and achievement awards to birthday celebrations, it is wonderful to celebrate all that has been achieved. We also love to celebrate all the ways in which St Andrew's children have lived out our values, through the Year 6 award, our citizenship book and the Headteacher's award. It is an uplifting finish to the week!

On Friday’s celebration assembly, we celebrated children who had completed the Doodle Maths Spring Challenge, alongside our usual achievement certificates, birthday celebrations and Headteacher’s award. We were also celebrating Pihu (Yr 5) who has been shortlisted by the Peregrine Prize for Young Writers.

For last Friday’s celebration assembly, we welcomed the parents/ carers of our Year 2 children. Year 2 shared their learning about minibeasts, through songs, explanations and pictures. We are so proud of all the children who received certificates or were in our citizenship book – you all demonstrate how you live out our school values.

On Friday 1^st May, the Reception class joined our celebration assembly. They sang songs about May day. This was after a lunch time for some Maypole dancing. In a city which celebrates May day in such a unique way, it was good to reflect this in our school day.

On Friday 17^th April, amongst our usual celebrations during Celebration Assembly, we presented the Young Art Oxford certificates. Lots of children, from Reception class to Year 6, had been winners, with Leo (Yr 5) and Austin (Yr 1) being highly commended for their pieces. Well done to one and all!
