What a brilliant day for Year 6 in London visiting Madam Tussauds and Regents Park to support our learning in History and PSHE. We took a record number of photos, the children were amazing and we all absolutely loved it. Topped off with a lovely lunch in Pizza Express as well as exploring the fantastic St Pancras station. Thank you Year 6 for a beautiful day

We are so incredibly proud of our Year 6 children; they have sung, danced and Disney has come alive through their phenomenal skills and performance of Disney's 'Dare to Dream' Jnr musical. Well done to all of Key Stage 2 for supporting the performance with fantastic singing! You were all 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!'
On Tuesday 1st July, members of our brilliant staff team completed the #RaceforLife at Burghley Park in memory of our dear friend and colleague, Rachel. We are pleased to announce that we have raised over £1500 and would like to thank every single person who sponsored and supported us - Rachel would be so proud.
On Monday 30th June to Tuesday 1st July, our Year 4 children took part in an exciting residential! Fenland Adventure brought the school field to life with lots of adventurous activities, including go-cart building, archery, climbing and many more. The children also slept overnight on the school field in bell-tents and had an absolutely amazing time. This was the first residential we have offered for Year 4 and will definitely become a permanent feature in our trips and visits plan - we have already booked for next year!
Yesterday, the Buttercross children visited The Bramble Patch, linked with our ‘Once upon a time’ topic: we had an amazing day filled with activities!
The children helped the Little Red Hen bake some bread, built a bridge for the Three Billy Goats Gruff and found Cinderella's lost slipper using maps, compasses and reading directions!
Today, was an absolutely fantastic example of what makes John Clare so brilliant. We are super proud of all of our children for trying their hardest and striving for their personal best in today’s Sports Day. Tennyson were this year's winning house team, followed very closely by Rosetti, then Wordsworth and finally Keats. Well done everyone for a fabulous day!
Yesterday, some of our Year 5 children ended the Super SOKE Celebration at Wittering Primary School. This event was led by Will Hussey from the Art of Brilliance and was an opportunity for children from our Trust schools to come together. Each school shared what makes their school utterly brilliant and the children had lots of opportunities to meet each other. At the end of the session, we were awarded with the ‘Outstandingly Happy School’ banner, which is proudly displayed on our playground.
This week, we have been watching as our new outdoor classroom has taken shape. We are very excited that it is now complete and cannot wait to start having lessons there, including our Forest School sessions. A huge thank you to the Friends of John Clare for funding this project - we are so very grateful.
