• Feeling Proud

  Fri 04 Sep 2026

  We are feeling very proud of our new Reception children who have stayed with us for lunch every day this week - which includes walking to and from the Village Hall. We are also incredibly proud of their Y6 buddies who have been amazing, helping keep them safe and showing them what to do. 

  

• A new school year!

  Fri 28 Aug 2026

  And just like that, the summer holidays are behind us and we are back in school. We have had a wonderful first few days welcoming all the children back and getting to know all the new faces, including new members of staff - welcome Miss Cross in Reception and Miss Hackney in Class 1! We also have a new class structure and new classrooms, so lots of exciting changes. There has been a wonderful variety of activities going on in school, we have been learning about our refreshed set of Christian Values. We've been writing prayers, starting new books, playing games, creating art and swapping stories from the holidays.

  We've had a DT frenzy in Base 3 - in the last few days we've had fun baking bread rolls and making hand puppets!

  

• Y6 Adventure Day

  Wed 08 Jul 2026

  We had a fantastic day at the Leicestershire Outdoor Pursuits Centre in beautiful weather. We starting with rifle-shooting, moved on to the dizzying heights of the aerial trek and then after lunch went canoeing. A brilliant way to round off 7 years at Scalford School! 

   

  

• Base 2 Roman Day

  Mon 29 Jun 2026

  Base 2 Roman Day

  The children braved the Mediterranean heat to become Romans for a day at the Village Hall, having great fun learning about soldiers, weapons, buildings, food, money and medicine. The day was run by former Scalford pupil, Jed Jaggard! 🙌

  

• Heat

  Fri 26 Jun 2026

  Heat!

   

  This week, we tackled the intense heat by retreating to church in the afternoons. With its space and huge thick stone walls, it was a lovely, cool refuge. It also made a nice change!

  

• Base 3 Production

  Fri 26 Jun 2026

  Base 3 put on a production of 'The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse' this week - a story of resilience, kindness and friendship that meant a lot to us (although it is set in snow - something we could only dream about in the searing heat!). The children worked incredibly hard and should be very proud of their beautiful and moving performance. 

  

• Base 2 Art

  Fri 26 Jun 2026

  The children in Base 2 have been having a brilliant time, making characters from Roald Dahl's 'Dirty Beasts' using air-drying clay. They also used marbling ink to create a beautiful base for their work.

  Thank you to everyone who came and supported this wonderful afternoon. We were so lucky with the weather and we witnessed some amazing performances and tremendous sportsmanship and team spirit. Congratulations to St Peter's for winning.

  

• Bug Hunt

  Tue 09 Jun 2026

  Last week, as part of their Science, Base 3 went on a bug hunt around the Village Hall. The children found a huge variety of invertebrates from ladybird larvae to weevils, parasitic wasps to snails, several species of bee and spider, lacewings, butterflies, earwigs and much more!

  This week they will be using keys to identify them from the photos they took.
