On Friday 14th November, children are invited to come to school dressed up for Children in Need!
They can wear a costume, Pudsey-themed clothing, or spots to show their support.

We kindly ask for a £1 donation to take part, with all proceeds going to support BBC Children in Need.

Throughout the day, children will also take part in a range of Pudsey-themed activities.

To help mark the start of the week, we’ll be celebrating Odd Socks Day on Monday, 10th November. Please encourage all pupils (and staff!) to wear odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique.

🧪 Celebrating Excellence in Science!

We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded the Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM) this October! 🌟

This nationally recognised accreditation celebrates our school’s commitment to developing excellence in science leadership, curriculum design, teaching, and learning. We are proud to be one of just 310 schools across the country to receive this prestigious award.

A huge congratulations to Mrs. Boswell for her outstanding leadership of science across the school. This achievement is a testament to her hard work, dedication, and passion for inspiring young scientific minds.

We also want to thank our incredible staff team and pupils for their enthusiasm and commitment to making science engaging, inclusive, and impactful.

Here’s to continuing our journey of curiosity, discovery, and excellence in science! 🔬✨

🎉 We’ve Achieved the SEND Inclusion Award! 🎉

We’re thrilled to announce that Fordbridge Community Primary School has been awarded the SEND Inclusion Award!

This nationally recognised achievement celebrates our commitment to delivering high-quality education for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The award framework, which aligns with the SEND Code of Practice, focuses on:

• Removing barriers to learning through early identification
• Inclusive teaching and leadership
• Evaluating impact to improve classroom practice and pupil outcomes

This award reflects the dedication of our staff, governors, and wider school community in ensuring every child receives the support they need to thrive. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the evaluation process — your input helped us reach this milestone.
