Thanks to all our family and friends who came to help on Saturday to start the work on our forest school. Thanks also for the refreshments in the Big Blue Box - apologies for the camera not making it in!

Thank you so much to everyone who came along to our tree planting party! You have all helped to plant a little piece of Thrapston history and we are so grateful. Approximately 440 trees went into the ground today which is incredible...this is just the beginning of a beautiful new space for our children to thrive in

We have a forest ready to be planted....

We are excited to announce that our 2025 survey will be launching soon! Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and this is your chance to share your thoughts and help shape the future of our school community. The survey will launch 24th March and close 4th April - stay tuned for details on how to participate!

Further information about our tree planting party next weekend! We are so excited to welcome our lovely families and members of the community next weekend for our tree planting party. Please see below some extra information about the day: What to bring: A trowel/spade and gardening gloves (if you have them - some will be available on the day) A reusable cup to help yourselves to complimentary hot drinks (there will be disposable cups available but we'd like to be as environmentally friendly as possible!) Access: The main gates to the school driveway will be open between 12pm and 3pm. You are welcome to either walk up, or if you will be in your car, you are welcome to park in either the lower or upper car park. In the event that these car parks are full, you are permitted to use the tennis courts/KS2 playground as overflow car parking. Please access the field by walking across the tennis courts/KS2 playground and towards the Blue Box at the side of the field. The Blue Box will be open and inside you will find toilets as well as complimentary refreshments and snacks available. This is also where you can access First Aid should you need to. The tree planting will be taking place at the back of the field (near the gates which lead to the Nene Centre). On the day: Staff members will be around to help guide you - they will be visible in their hi-vis yellow jackets. You will collect your sapling and receive a guide on how to plant it to ensure it has the best chance of survival. There will be X's spray painted on the grass to show you where a tree needs to be planted. There are 6 different types of trees and we would like to ensure that they are spread out/we don't have the same variety all next to each other. The saplings are colour coded with different colour wool tied to them so you can avoid planting the same colours next to each other. Children will then be able to collect a Woodland Trust certificate to celebrate their contribution to the forest. Please ensure you have left the school site in plenty of time - at 3pm the gates will automatically close and we won't be able to open them again! If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact Mrs O'Reilly either via Dojo message or email. We look forward to seeing you next Saturday!

A new job opportunity within our Trust!
