Grow With Us Welcomes Pre-Schoolers For Fun In The Sun
We held our Forest School stay and play session on Monday after school. This was a new event in our calendar designed to welcome the children who are due to start Reception at Crescent School in September 2025 for some fun in the sun. The youngsters enjoyed a scavenger hunt with Mrs Noyce and then a hands-on activity planting sunflower seeds with Mrs Dowling and Mrs Pullen. Parents and little ones got to meet some of the teaching staff and senior leaders and to explore the school’s dedicated outdoor learning area. We hope everyone enjoyed the activities.
We look forward to seeing the youngsters again in June for Move Up Morning, when they will meet the rest of their classmates and teachers.
We still have limited spaces available for Reception 2025, so if you know of anyone interested in applying for a place, do please ask them to contact our Registrar, Mrs Becky Witcomb on 01788 523851 or email admissions@crescentschool.co.uk
St Andrew's Win House Geography Challenge
Crescent School’s annual House Geography competition took place on Tuesday morning and it was a hotly contested affair. Pupils in Year 6 have been working hard in their lessons, learning the mountains, seas, rivers, countries and capitals of the world. They have participated in regular quizzes to test their knowledge with the highest scorers earning themselves the right to represent their House.
Teams of four pupils took on eight rounds of challenging questions. It proved a closely fought competition with the three Houses neck and neck throughout and hardly a mark dropped between them all. Their geography knowledge was just incredible. It was so close that the quiz had to go to sudden death!
This year it was St Andrew’s House that just pipped St George’s and St David’s. The blues were delighted to be back on winning form, reclaiming the trophy once again.
Many congratulations to all and especially to the Blue team, it was a super event, and the best of luck to Year 5 when your turn comes around next year!
