The future continues to be Green for Colsterworth!
Tue 10 Oct 2023Colsterworth CE Primary School have been awarded with their second coveted Eco-Schools Green Flag Award. Since achieving their first Green Flag in July 2021 the children and staff have continued their Eco-Schools projects to make a difference to the environment which has seen them achieve the additional commendation of gaining Green Flag with Merit.
Pupil involvement has continued to be a key part of the journey, with children from each class being elected Eco Warriors. Throughout the last two years the Eco Team have worked to be ‘Agents of Change’ by being involved in projects to improve Transport, Energy and Waste in and out of school.
Eco Schools commented that our ‘Eco-Committee has done a fantastic job of rallying peers, parents and staff members to the eco-cause through collective worship, class feedback and your striking and visually-engaging Eco-Board. Involvement and collaborations with a whole multitude of local organisations and initiatives demonstrates an outward-looking approach and stands out as a real strength.’
Louise Jordan (Head of School) said, “We are so proud of our ‘Agents of Change’. Obtaining another Green Flag award is something that the whole school and our surrounding community is proud of. Every child has the knowledge that their actions can change their local environment, and the world, for the better. It has been a fantastic initiative for all involved, however it is by no means over, as the greater challenge is to maintain what we have achieved so far and look towards ways of improving even further.”
Mrs Abbey (Eco-School Coordinator) said “Being an Eco School is really important to our school community. The children are so enthusiastic about all things ‘green’ and they have been empowered to lead change within our school and beyond. The projects we have been involved in have helped our children to see their responsibility to the environment and how we can ‘change the world one step at a time’. We are looking forward to our ever-increasing Eco projects over the next year. We would like to say a massive thank you to our parents and carers for their continuous support with our projects and campaigns over the last two years.”
We are always grateful for support and advice from members of our community when developing our Eco School plans. If anyone feels that they can offer advice, support, equipment or practical help for a ‘one off’ project or on a longer term the children would welcome any enquiries by email on CSW.enquiries@abbeyacademies.co.uk

Hello Yellow!
Tue 10 Oct 2023Colsterworth School brought the sunshine in this week with our fabulous ‘Hello Yellow’ day celebrating World Mental Health day and shining a spotlight on the importance of our children’s mental health. Dressed top to toe in shades of yellow, the whole school joined together to think about this year’s message of ‘Stand out & Show up’. Looking at the Wellbeing Book of the Week, Perfectly Norman, we took time to consider our gifts and talents, that not only help ourselves to soar into the sky but also help our ability to support others. We celebrated what makes us special and reflected on the importance of letting our talents shine through.

Year 6 Whitby Residential
Mon 02 Oct 2023Year 6 visited YHA Whitby in Whitby with Year 6 from Bourne Elsea Park for their 4-day residential from the 2nd - 5th October 2023.
On Monday morning, the children arrived early at school excited about the adventure that awaited them. After travelling by coach, everyone was ready to get stuck into their first activity – a trail around Whitby town. During this walk the children saw many famous sights of Whitby including the 199 steps, the Captain Cook statue, the Whitby whale bones and screamed their way through Dracula’s tunnel.
Each group completed a range of activities including a visit to the Captain Cook Museum, where they learnt about the life of Captain Cook, a famous explorer from Whitby. They also had the opportunity to visit a life size replica of his ship, ‘The Endeavour.’
Year 6 were also extremely lucky to take part in a jet polishing workshop and listen to a jet specialist talk about the history of jet and why it is so important to Whitby. The children took their time to polish their own piece of fossilised wood and turn it into a sparkling smooth piece of jet.
The highlights of the visit however included fossil hunting and a coastal walk testing the children’s perseverance and patience as they combed the sand looking for fossils. Everyone found a treasure to take home with them including ammonites, sea glass and belemnites.
The children enjoyed their time on the beach, where they ate chips from the famous Magpie Cafe and played in the sand. Each child had the opportunity to choose and paint a pebble to remind them of their time at Whitby.
Every year we look forward to our Year 6 residential to Whitby, the children make memories to last a lifetime. They showed fantastic perseverance, friendship, kindness, and teamwork throughout the week. All the staff who attended are proud of all the children; it will be a trip to be remembered. It was wonderful to see new-found friendships being formed with the children from both schools.
