We were so proud of all of our Year 6 children who participated in our annual end-of-year production. This year's performance was Alice in Wonderland and the children were fantastic in their roles - from actors to soloists, from the stagehands to the light and sound engineers. Everyone agreed it was an incredibly professional production!
This week, we held our annual Sports Days. Our older children showcased their athletic prowess at the impressive Lea Valley Athletics Centre, while our younger pupils embraced the spirit of friendly competition during their energetic Mini-Olympics. A huge thank you to all parents and carers who came along to support and cheer on our budding athletes!
Year 6 children are having a fabulous end to their time at Chesterfield by spending time together with their friends on their end-of-term trips. Recently, they have been bowling and to a trampoline park, cementing friendships and creating wonderful memories.
Year 3 Hawking Class enjoyed a visit to Forty Hall this week - despite the rain! They found out all about the history of the estate and explored the historic house.

We are really proud of all of them - well done!
To celebrate World Music Day, the whole school dressed in their summer and festival outfits and took part in our World Music Day celebration in the school playground.

As part of their leaver's celebrations, our Year 6 children enjoyed a special trip to the West End to watch Matilda at the Cambridge Theatre in London's West End. This was a well-deserved treat after they worked so hard in their recent SATs tests.
This week, our highly anticipated Intrasports event ignited a passion for physical activity and boosted the health and wellbeing across all year groups! Children embraced the opportunity to engage in a diverse carousel of sports, fostering both individual skill and team spirit. Divided into distinct colour-coded teams, pupils enthusiastically participated in a wide array of activities including the strategic aim of curling, the athletic launch of javelin, dynamic football skills drills, and many other exciting challenges. It was a wonderful display of teamwork, effort, and the joy of movement, all contributing to a healthy and active school community!
Children who achieved 100% attendance this half-term were invited to a special breakfast to celebrate this fantastic achievement! We were absolutely delighted to recognise their dedication and consistency.
We love seeing our pupils in school every day, thriving in their learning environment! Consistent attendance is incredibly important for every child's success and overall wellbeing. Each day at school is packed with exciting lessons, engaging discussions, and hands-on activities that build knowledge and confidence. Being present every day helps children develop strong friendships, feel a vital part of our school community, and truly flourish academically, socially, and emotionally. We truly appreciate your amazing support in helping your child enjoy the full benefits of school every single day!
Here at Chesterfield, we were thrilled to participate in National Numeracy Day on May 21st, joining schools across the country in celebrating the power and importance of numbers!
