Feeling so proud to be part of our amazing @WhiteHorseFed family 💚
Today we came together for a Trust-wide TD Day full of inspiration & collaboration.
I had the joy of leading our EYFS session, exploring our Core Commitments, interactive reading, supporting disadvantaged pupils & play progressions.
I’m so proud to say that in creating places of belonging for our children, we’ve also created it for each other ✨

Y6 visited the Williams F1 HQ this week! It was an amazing opportunity for them to visit a real-life working environment. The day included a composites challenge, a session on their simulators & a museum tour. Our pupils were truly inspired to consider future careers in STEM! 🌟

Thank you so much to Owen’s World Foundation for joining us at our TWHF Safeguarding training and network meeting to speak with our headteachers and DSLs.
Your presentation on anti-knife crime was raw, hard-hitting, and incredibly powerful. We are so grateful to Owen’s family, friends, and everyone involved for sharing his story with such honesty and impact.
It was a privilege to hear such an important message, and it left a lasting impression on us all. Thank you for the vital work you do.

🌟 Exceptional writing in Reception across our trust! 🌟 Disadvantaged children in EYFS are thriving, showing that a strong curriculum, purposeful provision, a well-sequenced Talk for Writing approach, shared writing opportunities, and high aspirations lead to incredible success!

Very late with this (sorry, camera trouble 😤) but here are the teams who will be progressing to the national finals of the Premier League Primary Stars Girls Cup!
Our Swindon team from @GrangeJunior made it through the semis on pens, and managed to break Newport's incredible defensive line just the once, but that was enough to crown them champions! A huge well done to @CountyCommunity for an amazing performance, and to @ExeterCCT who beat @CTFCCommunity in the 3rd/4th place playoff to secure their place in the nationals later this year, and of course to our @Official_STFC girls for bringing it home!
