• Music Concert

  Tue 20 Dec 2022

  Thank you to the eleven children who entertained us in the music concert on the last day of term. From new beginners to seasoned musicians, we were treated to range of Christmas carols as well as tunes learned during lessons. Performing in this way does so much to boost children’s confidence which then spreads into other areas.

  

• Englefield CE Primary Carol Service

  Tue 20 Dec 2022

  The church was packed on Monday for our own Candlelit Carol Service….not a seat left in the house! Amid the flickering candles, Eliza started our service with a beautifully clear rendition of Once in Royal David’s City. Children from all classes then read the story of the Nativity as told through the gospels and sang their carols and Christmas songs with enthusiasm. Such a special part of our school year. Thank you to our parents for the kind donations towards our two charities for this Christmas: New Beginnings and CIRDIC. We raised a total of £220 to share between them. CIRDIC’s share will enable them to provide a hot meal to at least 60 people.

   

  

• St Mark's Carol Service

  Sun 18 Dec 2022

  Tonight, the congregation of St Mark's were treated to 'Child in a Manger Born' and 'Ding Dong', sung by 15 of our choir members during the candlelit carol service. It was such a special evening. The choir enjoyed listening to several Christmas songs sung by a quintet...it was so good for them to hear truly beautiful adult singing...something to aspire to.

• Community Singing

  Thu 15 Dec 2022

  Our choir visited two care homes this week to sing carols and Christmas songs. Firstly they sang at Greenfield House in Calcot and then at Purley Park Trust. The singing was enjoyed by all and a good number of our audience joined in. 

  This was a lovely way for our children to show 'Love of Others' in the local community.

  

• iRock Concert

  Tue 13 Dec 2022

  The whole school was treated to a concert performed by 25 of our pupils who have weekly iRock lessons with their teacher, Jonny. Ths children have formed their own bands and either sing or play the drums, guitar, keyboard or bass.

  The enjoyment was very clear on the band members' faces and they each got rapturous applause.

  

• Santa Fun Run

  Fri 09 Dec 2022

  The whole school plus parents turned out on a cold ansd frosty morning to take part in our annual Santa Fun Run. Each age group either raced or jogged the Englefield Drive which comes to nearly a mile -  the youngest group did half!

  The children were sponsored and the money raised (£266) will be shared between the school's PTA and UNICEF's Soccer Aid.

  Thank you to Mr Fabianczyk, Mrs Carney and our Sports Ambassadors for organising things so well.

  

• Christmas Counts

  Thu 08 Dec 2022

  Parents, pupils, voluntary helpers, the local nursery and some of our local residents thoroughly enjoyed our production of 'Christmas Counts' this week. The children sang beautifully and acted out the story of the Nativity with sensitivity and feeling. The children looked great, wearing a great array of costumes and performing in front of a beautiful backdrop of Bethlehem.

  A huge thank you and well done to the pupils and staff from FS2 and KS1.
