Apply for your April 2026 Nursery place

Our Nursery can take children from the beginning of the term following their third birthday.   Children may have up to five terms of free part-time early learning with us before they join the Reception class.  The Nursery aims to create an environment where children can have a variety of experiences through play.  This means we can develop their knowledge and understanding of the world around them and give them a strong foundation upon which we can start to build the curriculum.

Nursery Application forms can be downloaded here for 2025/26 or pop into the office to collect a printed form.

Applications for April 2026 should be returned to the school office by Wednesday 21 January 2026, please, for us to allocate places in accordance with our Nursery Admissions Policy.  

In addition, we have a chargeable lunch club that runs until 1.30pm. Nursery children may have a school dinner or bring a packed lunch.  During this period and for their playtime in or outside, the children remain fully supervised.  We do not offer 30 hours of funded childcare, but you may use extended hours to cover the additional cost of the lunch club (up to 8 hours 20 mins) if you are eligible.

For enquiries regarding Nursery admissions, please email us @ Nursery Enquiries or visit our website.

Refraction in Action

Today in Year 6, we explored the science of refraction and how white light can be separated into its different colours. Using prisms, pupils directed beams of white light and produced small rainbows—this showed us how light bends and splits as it passes through a new medium. We learned how this process, called refraction, happens because light changes speed when it moves from one material to another. We discussed how light bends towards the normal when it slows down, just like the way a straw looks bent or distorted in a glass of water.

To build on this, we recreated Newton’s colour wheels and tested whether spinning a coloured disc fast enough would make the colours blend back into white light. The class loved seeing science in action and discovering that white light really is a mixture of all the colours of the spectrum.

A brilliant afternoon! 

Building Confidence in the Pool with Year 5.

Today, Year 5 enjoyed their swimming session at Framlingham College, making great use of the wonderful community facilities. The children are continuing to develop their skills and confidence in the water. A big thank you to Framlingham College for providing such a fantastic space for our lessons.

Friday enrichment afternoon - Eco awareness group

The Eco awareness group have been busy finding out about different areas of sustainability including energy, food, saving water, biodiversity, renewable and non-renewable energy and how to reduce, reuse and recycle. This group finished this cycle by choosing to make either a board game linked to these topics or they could chose to make a sustainable Christmas decoration using sustainable materials.

In addition to this, the whole school helped make history by attending a special assembly from Union Glacier, Antarctica last Friday about sustainability.   Robert Swan brought children from all around the world to learn why this is a special place and why we all need to help protect it. 

Stars shine out in the church

KS2 Cross Country Success

 Yesterday, twenty-four KS2 children attending a cross country event at Hartismere having qualified at a previous event. 

The children all exemplified our school value of perseverance as they ran a considerable distance and challenged themselves to keep going despite the terrain and weather conditions. 

Of the twenty-four children competing, SRH had 15 children finish within the top 10, six within the top 5 with three placing in the top 3; one first place and two second place finishes. This shows the incredible effort put in by all amongst some tough competition from other schools. 

The positive way the children approached their individual events, their determination during and the way they supported and celebrated each other was a credit to the school. 

Carols in the Castle
