St Andrew'sC E Primary School

In consultation with our Trust and local schools, given the extreme weather and associated warnings, please note that we are putting in place different arrangements this week. We plan to remain open all week but on Wednesday and Thursday, if you wish to collect your children from 1pm, after lunch, you are free to do so. These arrangements have been put into place to protect your children as best we can from the extreme heat - please ensure you follow all safety advice once they return to your care. We will have to keep these arrangements under review depending on local circumstances and advice.

We've got space on our lovely new shelves for some lovely new books! Please nominate us to give us a chance of winning this amazing prize! #MakeADifference

Thank you so much! What a lovely surprise! #MakeADifference

This week Year 6 attended the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust leavers service at Salisbury Cathedral. The children enjoyed their exclusive tour from Rev Menzies. They conducted themselves in excellent form and represented the school brilliantly #MakeADifference

Here is this month's FACE family advice timetable. Remember, all of the workshops are free to St Andrew's families - contact the office if you need a reminder of our code #MakeADifference

While some of the Year 6s enjoyed den building challenges, the Year 6s staying back took part in a library building challenge! We were VERY impressed with their flat pack skills, which they applied to help the St Andrew's Primary School PTA create some new shelving for our library! What a team #MakeADifference

Year 6 had an incredible time at Hooke Court on their residential trip. Thanks to all of the grown-ups who made it possible! #MakeADifference

The Year 6's staying in school spent part of today creating artwork for our library. We think they're really impressive! Thanks to Miss Forden and Sarah Denton for their help! #MakeADifference

The children (and grown-ups) at Hooke Court are having a fantastic time. Today the children have had lots of fun today raft building and shelter building. They have all been superstars! We can't wait to hear the stories they come back with when they return tomorrow #MakeADifference

We're feeling incredibly proud of Amelie in Dolphins. She recently attended the All England West Regional Dance Finals, and after 4 days of intense competition she has qualified for the prestigious All England *National* Finals with her dance school. We wish her huge luck for the finals in July; we know that she has the dedication, resilience, and talent to go far! #MakeADifference

Year 6 have had a busy day today! Most of Year 6 have set off on their adventure to Hooke Court. They've arrived safe and well and last we heard they were heading off to do some orienteering! Meanwhile, the Year 6s staying with us spent most of the day taking part in Taskmaster style challenges with Miss Randall. This afternoon they chose stories to read to our preschoolers - and honestly we're not sure whether the little kids or the big ones had more fun with that! #MakeADifference
