It's been a busy week of Sports Days right from EYFS to Year 6. We've managed to dodge the dodgy weather ☔and enjoyed the perfect reward in the sun to cool off. 🍦

Our wonderful Year 6 class performed their fantastic rendition of The Lion King in front of their peers. Well done to Mr Wallace who made the magic come alive! We will be singing Hakuna Matata for the rest of the week! 🦁👑💗

Can you guess which Lion King characters these Year 6's are? The evening performance with families was a huge success and will be treasured for years to come. 🫶

A wonderful afternoon was spent in Benedict nostalgia at the Year 6 Leaver's Lunch. 🍔♥️🍔♥️

A Summer Fayre to remember. Thank you to all the friends and families who came to support with the fundraising efforts this year!

A huge thank you to Siobhain McDonagh who came to visit alongside some young members of the Merton community. Our pupil representatives guided our MP through the stalls. Thank you Siobhain for your generous contributions to our Summer Fayre! 🏅🫶

We are so proud of our Year 6 pupils, and we had a chance to share it during a heartfelt graduation ceremony 😭. The Benedict Family will miss all of Aspen Class!❤️

A fantastic evening spent at the Year 6 Prom, where lasting memories will keep the nostalgia going till they reach Secondary School! Everyone looked fantastic on the dance floor!💃🕺

We are incredibly proud of our year 5 writers for their publication in the Young Writers competition this year. Well done!

A new academic year means new playground buddies! Well done y5 for stepping up to help make our lunch break even better!

Our '100 books to read by the end of ks2' has been updated and refreshed. We're looking forward to hearing what your children think of these classic texts!

🧦 We wore odd socks to celebrate Anti-Bullying Week! A powerful reminder that there's beauty in being different and strength in standing together. Let's keep finding the interesting in the odd and celebrating what makes us unique! 💛 #AntiBullyingWeek #UnitedAgainstBullying

Pupil Parliament represented the school at the local cenotaph for Remembrance. Back at school, we observed a two-minute silence to honour all those who have served, and continue to serve, in conflicts around the world. We will remember them. 🌺#ArmisticeDay #LestWeForget
