  • Table tennis success

    Mon 24 Nov 2025

    All Saints Table Tennis Festival

     

    A mix of year 4 and year 6 boys and girls represented the school at a recent All Saints Table Tennis festival. In all, 90 children from 9 schools attended a busy afternoon of skill challenges and matches, with Chickerell coming out as the top school!

     

    The afternoon started with skills circuit activities, including serving, footwork, forehands, backhands and accuracy. Following this, pupils were split into random groups in which every school played each other in games. After the first round of games, players were then separated into four ability groups with 8 Chickerell players joining the top ability group for further matches.

     

    The hours of practice at afterschool clubs paid off with Lottie Griffiths winning the competition and Lucas Iacob and Poppy Honnor finishing third and fourth respectively.

     

    Everyone enjoyed a very well run event and all of the pupils represented the school superbly.

  • Yr 5 Poetry

    Fri 02 May 2025

    Our Year 5 children did us proud this week by taking part in a performance to showcase how best to deliver a poem. Although understandably nervous, the children really did well and, again, their behaviour was excellent. Thanks to all the Yr 5 staff for preparing them and taking them to the pavilion.

  • Keeping safe at the beach

    Fri 02 May 2025

    We were lucky enough to have the lifeguards in this week to talk to the children about how we keep ourselves safe at the beach, and in particular in the water. Living in a coastal town as we do, it is vitally important that children understand this.

  • We shall remember them.

    Sun 12 Nov 2023

    Our head boy and girl attended the St.Mary’s Remembrance service on Sunday 12th November. They were accompanied by Mrs Green (and her children), Miss Simmonds and Mr Robinson. They proudly laid the wreath on our behalf and joined the local community in paying their respects during the two minute silence. 
    Thank you both very much. 
    Miss Simmonds’ class also made a poppy for the service, which we laid too.
