This year, we were absolutely thrilled to be part of the magic of Red Nose Day 2025! As one of the UK's most iconic fundraising events, Red Nose Day is a time when the entire nation bands together to share joy, embrace laughter and turn humor into hope.
To join the fun, we hosted a dazzling, rainbow-themed non-uniform day, thanks to the inspired suggestion of our brilliant Student Councillors. They knew that rainbows aren’t just colourful—they’re symbols of happiness, positivity, and unity! Children lit up the school by donning tops in vibrant rainbow shades, creating a spectacular display of community spirit.
And that’s not all—our pupils also dove into engaging learning activities provided by Comic Relief, discovering firsthand how their incredible efforts are helping to change lives. From lifting communities out of poverty to supporting vulnerable individuals, every laugh, every colour, and every pound raised is making a world of difference. Let’s keep the good vibes going! 🌈✨

What an incredible day we had once again at the Colsterworth Festival of Performing Arts! We couldn't have predicted the pride and absolute joy we'd feel in walking away with four gold medals, four trophies and the Growler Shield for best overall performance.
As always, the children dedicated themselves to their performances, mastering words and actions, perfecting their recorder tones, and working together as a cohesive team to deliver stunning performances that left the adjudicator in awe.
Our Year 6 Jaguar Class kicked off the event, showcasing their bravery and musicality by singing both solo and in small groups. They arranged the piece themselves into three sections, building on their learning in music lessons, which added depth and complexity to their performance.
Next up, our Key Stage 2 children brought unparalleled enthusiasm. Their focus and concentration created a powerful presence in the beautiful surroundings of St John's Church, Grantham. The adjudicator praised them for "A fantastic display of storytelling and communication," commending their clear diction and dynamic range. This phenomenal performance earned them a gold medal, the Choral Cup and the Growler Shield for the best performance of the day.
Our newly formed recorder group followed, delivering excellent tone and control, which earned them a gold medal and a trophy.
Finally, our Key Stage 1 choir, although small in number, demonstrated great musicality and courage. Their teamwork resulted in a fantastic performance, placing them first and bringing home the cup.
Participating in the festival alongside other schools was a wonderful celebration of music and performance. It provided the children with a valuable opportunity to broaden their musical horizons and appreciate a diverse range of styles and genres.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Colsterworth Festival Committee for inviting us to take part, Mrs. Bidwell from the Lincolnshire Music Service for her invaluable support and Mrs. Dawes for her unwavering dedication, enthusiasm, and passion for nurturing the love of music within our school. Their efforts truly made this incredible day possible.
