Smiles and laughter filled the playground at lunchtime as we had fun with our friends. We were grateful that the sun was shining. The dressing up box was a firm favourite today! #opal #PlayTogether @OPAL_CIC https://t.co/yNhWlLqxpN
Happy #Playday2024! How are you celebrating children's right to play today? https://t.co/q93Ur5DAHO
Hanging around in the shade at lunchtime was another popular choice today. @OPAL_CIC https://t.co/zgFLIT3Mi4
Loose parts provide the best play opportunities for us all. We've had a great lunchtime. @OPAL_CIC https://t.co/y3bN1OKKmh
It's the last day of term, the sun has come out and we're all rather hot. What better way to cool off than with some water play. @OPAL_CIC https://t.co/simbKxAB0z
The KS2 children in the Nest had a great time at their Sports Day event this afternoon. They participated eagerly and it was lovely that lots of family members came to cheer them on too. Well done to blue team who were today's winners. https://t.co/0T9xagugEb
The Year 1 pupils have been working really hard designing and then creating hand puppets. They have carefully sewn them together and they look fabulous. https://t.co/ctkBkxDWbQ
Tonight we celebrated Mass with our Yr6s and their families. A significant milestone as they end their educational journey with us and head off to secondary school. Their Leavers hoodies were well received and we can't wait to see them wearing them in school tomorrow. https://t.co/NUkjeCEE5X
So glad we moved our child the best thing we could have done, lovely service today both Heads speak from the heart.

I just wanted to say thank you for all you have done for our child, we were so worried about the transition because of his additional needs but everything has run so smoothly and he is very happy.
Parent
I am so impressed with the way the children are conducting themselves, they are so focussed and want to achieve. Their class teacher has given them so much self-belief.
Parent
We ask you to extend our thanks and congratulations to everyone from the school who was involved in the carol service at the Sudbury library. We have known about music at the school right the way through our almost 40 years in Sudbury, so in that sense Saturday’s event was no surprise. In this day and age, however, it is simply glorious to see children performing with their school like this.
Parent
A big thank you for making St Edmund's school such a wonderful school for our children to go to.
