Arnan, Finn, Jacob, William and Alexander did some great charity fund raising at the weekend, supported by Oaka. Demonstrating the school values.

The boys all camped out to raise money for the Royal British Legion, to help homeless military veterans in the UK, in the Great Tommy Sleep Out. 

Oaka supported by helping to take the supplies and kit and setting up the camp with them.

They raised a fantastic £432! 

Sponsored Skip

Helping someone in our community.

The School council and sport's leaders worked together to organise a sponsored skip where any monies achieved would be given to a one of our school's family's to support their disabled daughter who neds around the clock care. 

The whole school took part in the sponsored skip. Each child had to skip for 2 minutes. The number of skips was added together with our target being 5,000 skips.

We achieved 7,968 skips altogether!

Staff worked hard to ensure our Christmas fair included the local community to enjoy the count down to Christmas. 

HSBC bank came to support their local community by doing some gardening. The team spent the day with us in school cutting back the hedges, weeding and planting bulbs. Our head boy, girl and deputies gave them a guided tour of school and asked them lots of questions about banking. A huge thank you to the whole team for their dedication and their hard work in to improving the area. 

Mr Wood

Mr Wood is a grandparent of Sophie and Joe who attended our school many years ago. Mr Wood has been volunteering at our coding club for a very long time. We are humble that he gives his time up for free to help our children flourish through the use of technology. Mr Wood lives out our school values through his dedication to our school family and indeed his calm approach to all the questions we ask. Thank you Mr Wood for inspiring our children to have individual one to one attention to share your skills and and gain new learning. 

Parks , year 5 and Mandela worked together in mixed aged groups to create their very own zoo or theme park. The children then presented their creation to the rest of the classes. We saw older children supporting our youngest children with reading, presenting and much more.

Roads / routes connecting us all together to develop as communities. We can't wait to find out how old the coins are once they have been dated. 

Learning about Jewish, Islam and Sikh religions on our school visit.

We have had a lovely few days looking at the Chinese New Year and even acting out races like The Great Race. We discussed respecting other people’s festivals and how we show this. 

We asked the children to decorate an envelope with the theme of world religions. Winners of our competition will be announced on Monday in our Christingle service in Church.  Together we have raised £49.78 for Christingle. Well done Stanley!!

At the end of the Summer term we held a festival day in honor of our children and staff and ho incredibly hard they have all worked over the past year. This was a great opportunity for us to come together as a whole school and celebrate. Please click below to see videos of our amazing festival day. 

After some rather wild weather a large branch had come down in our Eco garden and so made the space unsafe to be used by children and staff. A parent and his colleague was able to get rid of the branch and once again make the Eco garden a safe learning and reflection environment for our children and staff. 

Thank you for your support!

White Hart Stanley Village:

School and the pub work closely together to ensure the safety of the whole community. Georgina at the pub allows school staff to use her car parking facilities on a day to day basis to free up parking spaces outside the church making it safer at drop off and pick up times for our whole community as well as people driving through the village. As a school we really appreciate the support from the village facility and offer our support in return.

Our local Churches:

Amazing support from our Governor Nicky and her daughter in creating the outline of this amazing well dressing for us to decorate ready for the yearly well dressing in the local community. 

We had lots of donations from parents and grandparents to allow us to create such a master piece.
