Les and Mrs Rees for all their hard work, spiritual guidance and love for the children and community of Needwood as well as the other schools in the federation and parish and other churches in the benefice. The children sang songs, read scripture, poems, prayers, made posters and even told jokes in praise and thanks for Reverend Les’ contribution to the children and staff at our school and the school community.

Published 01/11/17this is just a little update to say that the children are having a ball. They have been blessed with good weather and the activities, food and sleep have been successful (well the sleep as expected). As they enter day 3 they will be getting more tired but the fun they are having and the teams they are building is worth it! There is little connectivity there and staff are on duty the whole time so it’s a bit different to the other sites where they had time to message and post photos. Anyway, just a little update to say that the children are happy and safe and having fun.

Read MoreVisiting Author - Clare Balding
Published 04/10/17Children from across the Forest Federation went to meet the author Clare Balding, in another event organised for us by Burton Library. Following the success of Year 6’s War Bride experience the Year 5 cohort got their chance this time, attending a meet and greet with the author, who was in Burton to launch her new book. They learnt about the writing process and how Clare gets inspiration for some of her stories, as well as getting a chance to buy and get books signed.
