Have a great summer break and we look forward to seeing you in September!

The school said goodbye to Mrs Buntinx and Mrs Johnson who are leaving Stanley after a combined 75 years teaching our children and several of these children returned as Stanley parents in recent years!

Mr Hawley presented them with leaving gifts and thanked them for their “exceptional service to our school and community” as well as wishing them a very happy retirement.

The school also said goodbye to Mrs McGregor-Ridley, Mrs Beaufils and Mrs Krohn we wish them all every success and happiness for the future.

Well done Year 6 great performances and brilliant memories! 

Good luck at "big school" ... we'll miss you!

Year 6 had their final assembly on the sports field in glorious sunshine.

The children were presented with their Yearbook, a leavers certificate and a leaving card by Mrs Buntinx, who had taught many of the children during her time at Stanley, and Fliss Syrad, Chair of Governors.

Mrs Buntinx is leaving too, after over thirty years at Stanley, and the children presented her with a leaving gift and card. The children also sang and played instruments and were wished the best of luck by Mr Hawley.

Good luck Year 6 … you’ve been a great year group!

The art Stanley pupils have produced recently has been very impressive.

Silver Bubble have been very creative in three project areas: China, Comic Strips and Mexican Masks - here's some of their work for you to enjoy.

Well done Silver Bubble!

Mr Hawley said thank you to Clare Davies and Jo Jamieson who are stepping down after many years of brilliant work as Chair and Treasurer of FOSP. Clare and Jo were also given pictures of the school and other gifts in appreciation of their support over their time at Stanley.  

Mr Hawley said: “Their contribution to our school and the tireless work that they have put in has been immense … thank you – your work is greatly appreciated”

That work has included organising countless events and raising substantial amounts of much needed funds for the school. Clare has been writing the FOSP section of the school’s newsletter and wrote about her, Jo’s and all parent leavers: “We have been: class reps, cake makers, bunting arrangers, Christmas shop Assistants, DJs, open mic performers, BBQ Chefs, cocktail makers (and drinkers), Quiz creators, Librarians, gardeners, summer socialisers, firework fun night organisers ..... and so it goes on!  Haven’t we done so many wonderful things - it’s been so much fun!”

Thank you so much Clare and Jo!

“We've finally done it!

The Year 6 show, Mystery at Magpie Manor', is ready for your viewing pleasure.

Your children have worked very hard to put this together in such a short time.

We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed doing it.”

A report by by Alfie P and Fred A from Bronze Bubble

As a bronze bubble we have been making a comic strip. We started off jotting down ideas on a mind map about our superheroes and villains. Once we had decided who our villains and heroes were we created a storyboard to get an idea of the story line. We then chose the type of comic strip layout we wanted and watched some step-by-step videos on how to draw our characters. When we were confident about drawing them when we got started on the comic strips. We were reminded to use onomatopoeia, speech bubbles, thought bubbles and captions. Finally, we added lots of colour to make it visually inviting and then created front covers. Making the comic strips was fun because we had the freedom to create our own characters and it was lots of drawing!!

Check out the brilliant comic strips ... well done Bronze Bubble!

The art that has been produced both at school and at home over the lockdown period has continued to impress us ... as has another project - bean growing!

You can see below some excellent work including Year 2 poducing abstract art in the style of Paul Klee, French art in the style of Matisse with Ms Tuohy and Lily's (3MC) super art gallery.

As well as art Year 3 have also been creating beans ... each child was given a bean seed to plant and record a bean diary during lockdown. Pictured below is Zane's bean plant, which he nurtured and he has just enjoyed eating his beans.

Part of Year 1's topic of Bright Lights, Big City was to write the the Queen.

 Zaki (Chestnut Class) wrote a letter and she wrote back!
