Year 4 Lion class have been learning about power prints this term. The children used crayons to draw creative patterns and then painted over them with black paint.
Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in a week-long Bikeability course, run by exert trainers from the Department for Transport’s national cycle training provider.
The children learnt how to maintain their bikes, glide, control their bikes, pedal and be aware of their surroundings. All in the traffic-free safety of the school playground.
The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and now have greater confidence to enjoy cycling safely.
The Wonderdome landed at Saracens Bell Lane today, to take us on a trip through our solar system and beyond.
Children were amazed during an immersive experience into the wonders of space with our fabulous presenter Matt.
Year 5, who are currently studying Space in their science unit, and Year 6, who studied this topic last year, got to boost their knowledge to new heights whilst some of our more sensory seekers enjoyed a relaxing visual journey through the cosmos.
A generous donation from The Priory Foundation has funded new chromebooks to enhance the children’s learning.
The trolleys purchased at the same time mean the laptops are stored safely and readily accessible.
Perhaps you could ask your son or daughter how they’ve been using the chromebooks in their lessons – I’m sure they’ll be able to teach you something new!
After school drop-off on 16th October we welcomed friends and families to join us for tea and cake and a chance to get to know one another.
We were delighted to receive donations of exquisitie cakes from school families as well as local community champions Apollo Bakeries and Hyper Food Centre.
Our coffee morning, and after-school cake sale, raised an incredible £368 for Macmillan Cancer Support, a charity that supports the 3 million people in the UK living with cancer.
Please check our website and Class Dojo regularly for news of future opportunities to meet together.
On Sunday 6th October our pupils enjoyed the experience of waving flags on the pitch at StoneX Stadium as Saracens and Exeter Chiefs players ran out before the match.
This was a wonderful way to introduce our school to the thousands of Saracens supporters in the stands. As well as watching a short video about our school on the giant screens, the rugby fans could also read about our school in the match programmes. Click here to see the pages a stadium full of supports read that day.
Our first day back to school this September was even more exciting than normal!
Over the summer holidays our school joined Saracens Multi-Academy Trust and we are now Saracens Bell Lane. As the principal, Mrs Tudorache, explained to the children in assembly that morning, lots of things will stay the same: our friends, teachers and community.
However, there are a couple of exciting changes. Our school has a new name, new signs and new uniform. Children in Years 1-6 were given new jumpers thanks to a generous donation from a member of the Saracens family.
On our first day back we welcomed a number of special guests, including the CEOs of Saracens Multi-Academy Trust and Saracens Rugby Club as well as three professional rugby players. The children asked the rugby players brilliant questions and one Year 4 class enjoyed including them in their PE lesson.
It was an exciting day and we look forward to another year of learning, shaped by our new values: Discipline, Hard Work, Honesty and Humility.

Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed the hands-on experience of sowing tomato seeds.
The young farmers learnt about where food comes from and how we can grow our own. We look forward to hearing stories of how the children applied their knowledge at home to help the plants grow. Even better, we look forward to hearing that everyone tried their home-grown tomatoes and discovered that nothing tastes more delicious than something you have grown yourself.
The children in Year 1 had the pleasure of meeting the famous explorer Amelia Earhart (at least, they met an actor playing her as Amelia died in 1939!).
‘Amelia’ told the children wonderful stories about exploring and introduced them to many other great explorers.
In a truly interactive workshop the children created boats and sailed them on oceans (in their imaginations!). They even ‘walked on the moon’ too!
