Scooter Safety – Travel Green, Travel Safe! (January 2026)

As part of our Eco School Transport Initiative, we’re encouraging children to use scooters for a fun and environmentally friendly way to get to school. Scooting helps reduce traffic, lowers pollution and keeps us active!

Safety Tips for Scooting to School:

• Always wear a helmet to protect your head.
• Use the pavement or designated paths – never scoot on the road.
• Slow down near driveways and crossings.
• Be aware of pedestrians and share space politely.
• Keep your scooter in good condition – check brakes and wheels regularly.

Let’s make our journeys greener and safer together!

Remembrance Service - Year 6 (November 2025)

Our wonderful Year 6 pupils led a beautiful Remembrance Service in The Secret Garden yesterday.

Their thoughtful readings, heartfelt letters inspired by Dear Jelly, and carefully crafted clay poppies created a touching tribute to those who served - and to the animals who helped them too

We’re so proud of their respect, maturity, and creativity. Thank you to everyone who joined us in remembering and reflecting together

Parkfield Eco Committee Launches ‘Team Nourish and Flourish’ to Promote Healthy Living! (November 2025)

Last term, the Eco Committee met with Mrs Bowkett to set out their exciting priorities for the year: Healthy Living , Transport , and Global Citizenship . After completing their Eco Schools review, the team is ready to take action and inspire positive change across the school!

Building on the success of our recent Harvest Festival, where we explored the benefits of ‘eating a rainbow’ and celebrated seasonal produce , the Eco Committee is now launching a new initiative: Team Nourish and Flourish ! This group will lead the way in promoting healthy eating and wellbeing throughout the school.

As part of this initiative, pupils will be creating fun and informative videos to raise awareness of healthy food choices and encourage everyone to enjoy a colourful, balanced diet . We hope you enjoy watching, ‘Eat a Rainbow’!

Together, we’re growing a healthier, greener future —one rainbow plate at a time!

 

 

 

 

 

Road Safety Week 2025 (November 2025)

Next week, our school will be taking part in Road Safety Week 2025, a national campaign to raise awareness about keeping ourselves and others safe on and around the roads. This year’s theme is "Safe Vehicles Save Lives"

We will be joined by Somerset Road Safety, who will deliver a Road Safety workshop. They will cover:

• How to stay safe as pedestrians and cyclists

• Why speed matters and how small changes can save lives

• The importance of being alert and making responsible choices near roads

Let’s work together to build safer streets and protect every journey. Families are encouraged to continue the conversation at home and help children practise safe habits every day.

Safety starts with us — let’s make it count!

Anti-Bullying Week 2025 (November 2025)

We’re proud to take part in Anti-Bullying Week - a time to celebrate kindness, respect and inclusion across our school community. This year’s theme is “Power for Good”, and we’ll be exploring how we can all speak up, support one another and stand together against bullying in all its forms.

We will also celebrate Odd Socks Day - pupils and staff will wear their brightest, silliest, most mismatched socks to school to show that it’s okay to be different - and that our differences should be celebrated, not judged.

Let’s make some noise, stand united and show that our school is a place where everyone feels safe, valued and respected

 

 

 

 

 

 

Composers of the week (September 2025)

At school, the children learn about a different composer each week. This helps to broaden the range of musical genres and periods they are exposed to. Recently, the children were asked to come up with some questions they would like to ask a composer and two of our composers of the week, Dr Gareth Churcher and Dr Dobrinka Tabakova sent a video back answering them! Parts of the video have been shared with the children in school. If you would like to view it in full, please see below.
