We would like to make families aware of the Cradley Remembrance Parade and Memorial Service, which will take place on Sunday 8th November 2026. The parade will assemble at Cradley Community Centre before making its way to the War Memorial and then on to St Peter's Church for the memorial service. The event provides an opportunity for our community to come together to remember and honour those who have served and sacrificed for our country. If you are able to attend, we are sure the organisers would welcome your support. Lest we forget. 🌹
🏃🐻 TEMPLE MEADOW RUN PUDSEY CHALLENGE! 🐻🏃 Today, we launched our Temple Meadow Run Pudsey Challenge in support of BBC Children in Need! 💛 Over the next two weeks, children will be running, walking and wheeling laps of a designated route around our school site during breaktimes, lunchtimes and PE lessons. Every lap completed will contribute towards their class target, helping us achieve an amazing whole-school total while raising money for a fantastic cause. This challenge is all about teamwork, perseverance and having fun while being active. Throughout the event, children can look forward to special themed activities, including Music Miles, Buddy Miles, Obstacle Challenges and Beat the Teacher events!

🌳🍂 Forest School Fun! 🍂🌳 It has been fantastic to see how much our Year 1 children have enjoyed their Forest School sessions this half term. From exploring the outdoors to developing new skills and building confidence, they have embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm and smiles! We have loved seeing their adventures and are delighted by all they have achieved. 🌟 Now it's over to Year 3 after half term, and we can't wait to see them begin their own Forest School journey! 🌿😊
Please be aware that there will be some changes to PE days for Reception to Year 6 after half term. A letter containing the full details has been sent home and is also available via MCAS. As a reminder: Children should come prepared for PE on their allocated day. Children not wearing active uniform should bring their PE kit to school. Jewellery should not be worn during PE. Earrings should be removed before school where possible or covered securely with tape. For Year 3 classes taking part in Forest School, this will count as their PE session during Autumn 2. Thank you for your continued support in ensuring all children can participate safely and fully in PE and Forest School activities.
Choosing the right school for your child is a big and exciting step and we would be delighted to welcome you to our Reception 2027 Open Events.
