Year 6 had an amazing time at The Briars, where they grew in faith, spirituality and relationships through their exciting enrolment in the Agents of Love Academy. Throughout the week, they completed a series of missions that helped them explore what it truly means to be an Agent of Love—learning about saints, liturgy, prayer, inspirational religious people and the importance of teamwork. They even created and led their own liturgies, and took part in peaceful morning and evening prayer each day. Outside, they enjoyed lively outdoor team-building games, danced the night away at the disco, and, of course, absolutely loved the delicious food. It was a memorable and meaningful experience for everyone!.

As part of the Jubilee Year of Hope celebrations, Year 6 embarked on a special pilgrimage to St Barnabas Cathedral in Nottingham. The day began with a visit to the Mary Potter Heritage Centre, where pupils learned about the inspiring life of Blessed Mary Potter, a nun who dedicated her life to caring for the sick and the poor. She founded the Little Company of Mary in Nottingham, and her legacy of compassion and faith continues to inspire many today. After exploring the museum, the children were given a guided tour of the beautiful cathedral, discovering its rich history and sacred spaces. The pilgrimage concluded with the privilege of attending Mass, where pupils joined in prayer and reflection, deepening their understanding of faith and the importance of hope in their own lives.
Last week, Year 5 and 6 wowed everyone with their brilliant performance of The Lion King musical. Their singing was powerful, the dancing was full of energy, and every student showed incredible confidence on stage. It was clear they had worked so hard learning their lines and developing their acting skills. The whole production was a joy to watch – a true celebration of their talent and teamwork!
Year 6 enjoyed a visit to the Nottingham Broadway Cinema this week to watch The Lion King movie. They were inspired for their own performance and have brought back lots of ideas!
Year 6 have been very lucky to have a coach from Trent Bridge come and teach them cricket! They’ve learnt key skills in batting, bowling and fielding, alongside good communication and effective teamwork. Some of them are naturals!
