We are delighted to share our recent Ofsted inspection report with you.  You can find the report in the key information section of the website.  

Some children in Year 5 took part in an orienteering competition. The organiser reports "It was great to see the teams bond by being placed into a ‘pressure’ environment, using a set of skills to guide themselves around the forest. The groups had 60 minutes to find as many checkpoints as possible, with point deductions for every 1-minute late return, with the highest score possible being 270.

Our team scored 165 points and worked extremely well as a team.  Well done!

Mel Nicholls, a Paralympian, came to visit class 5 as part of their topic on women who have changed the world!  She was a true inspiration and showed us just what is possible. 

This week at Lydney C of E is book week and we are celebrating diversity in literature. 

Well done to our netball team who played fantastically in the tournament.  We came joint third in our group on points. After winning our first game, we had high hopes of winning our group but faced some fierce opposition along the way.  The team all played amazingly and we are very proud of them. 

This week is Children's Mental Health Week. The children have learnt about the importance of mental health and how to look after it.  

A range of activities have taken place in school focused on the 5 ways to wellbeing (Take Notice, Connect, Be Active, Keep Learning and Give) and our school drivers (World Aware, Possibilities, Belonging, Spirituality and Wellbeing).  

Children have enjoyed activities such as local walks to take notice, a visit by an author, an assembly by Young Minds Matter, street dance workshops and internet safety activities focused on Let's Talk.

Well done to our sportshall athletic team who were a credit representing the school at Dene Magna.  They showed such determination and sportsmanship. 

This morning, we had a wonderful Harvest Festival at St Mary's Church. 

It was lovely to see so many of you there.  A  huge thank you for coming and for all your kind and generous donations for the Forest Food Bank.
