Welcome to the Kestrel Class page

Welcome back to a new school year Kestrels! 2025-2026 promises to be a brilliant year!
 
We have had a fantastic first day together, getting to grips with new routines…and each other! Year 5 have made a great start to the year, diving into our new to our new geography topic, From Farm to Future while Year 6 are preparing for their residential to Robin Wood, and are also getting ready to take on their responsibilities around school in their new job roles. In a couple of weeks, they will be meeting their Foundation buddies and helping them to settle into our wonderful school.
This year promises to be another exciting adventure through our other topics of Groovy Greeks, Rotten Romans and Rampaging Rivers, with visits from Moveable Feasts Drama Company, and visits to Linton and Burnsall, not to mention some brilliant curriculum days and lots of cooking and creativity!
 
In addition, we have our annual Inter-house football, rugby, cycling and quiz competitions, and the legendary cross-country race, where we will be hoping to beat our scores from last year…fingers crossed! If we are good, Santa and the Easter Bunny may even pay us a visit this year – will you be able to hunt-out your egg?!
 
Another great highlight to look forward to is our end of year performance, along a Groovy Greek theme, which promises to be another sell-out show! By this point, we will be getting our wonderful Year 6s ready for the big step-up to secondary school, and will finally send them off with an emotional trip down memory lane, at our Leavers' Concert.
 
There is so much to look forward to over the next year. Here’s to a fantastic autumn, spring and summer. Let’s work hard and play hard in Kestrel Class!
Mrs Jarvis, Mrs Geary, Mrs Moreton
