Happy Chinese New Year! It's the year of the rat

What an amazing post from Darren Grigas who visited us yesterday to share his inspiring adventures with Years 4, 5 and 6.

Congratulations to Mrs Wilson, our Office Manager. What a fantastic achievement.

"You don't have to go fast, or far, just go!" Phase 3 and 4 have been left totally inspired after a talk from Darren Grigas. 'Adventure athlete' Darren came in to advise, help and inspire the children by sharing his stories and experiences, which included, running 156 miles across the Sahara, walking a 100 mile frozen lake at -50 degrees, eating around campfires whilst wolves howled around him, sharing uncharted rain forests and never-before run desert crossings passing through hunting grounds for leopards and cheetahs. He has also written and featured in national magazines, been featured on ITV, BBC Radio and TV and has spoken across the country at schools, businesses and even Buckingham Palace. The children then returned back to their classrooms to discuss and think about setting their own aspirations and goals. The children also had the opportunity to ask Darren questions about how to overcome barriers to achieve their goals as well as plenty of questions about what he encountered on his adventures. Thank you for visiting us at Fulbridge today Darren. We can't wait to hear about your next adventure.

We hosted day 2 of a Whole Education leadership course for primary school senior leaders yesterday. The delegates came from all over the country to listen to us talk about our approaches to leadership, teaching & learning and curriculum. We got lots of wonderful feedback (See the photos below)
