  A big well done to our Year 4 cricket team who finished second in the Birmingham and Solihull Chance 2 Shine tournament.

The result was fantastic, coming second out of the over 100 schools who took part.

It was a great evening for the children to enjoy, with a professional DJ providing the entertainment, pizza and chips for dinner and lots of happy memories. Many thanks to the group of parents who organised the evening and gave the children a night to remember.

• Basketball club fun

  Wed 13 Jul 2016
  Miss Jacob's basketball club ended the year rather wet after a fun final session involving lots of water.
