  • Claire Linney Author Visits to Promote Black History

    This week we welcomed ex-pupil of Shottermill Junior School to share with us her children's book:  'Time Tub Travellers' which seeks to bring to life a story linked to a journey through Tudor London, highlighting to children important Black Historical figures of the past. 

    After her whole school assembly, Claire then worked with Year 4 to develop their ideas for a time travelling story of their own!  Thank you Claire for your inspirational messages!

  • #LetGirlsPlay

    Published 13/03/24

    On Friday 8th March - International Women's Day - we had a very exciting day in school!

    As part of #LetGirlsPlay (an FA initiative), the girls were given coaching by some students from Godalming College who are PE students and football players themselves.

    The coaching was brilliant and the girls learnt some great new skills. Many of them commented that they enjoyed the session so much that they now wish to join a football club.

    Huge thanks to Godalming College and the girls who all participated so enthusiastically.

  • Year 5 attend HHH Classical Concerts

    Published 07/11/23

    During October, our Year 5 classes went to two HHH Concerts at St Christopher's Church, Haslemere, to appreciate Classical Musicians perform to the highest possible standard.  Children found the experience fascinating and enjoyable, with some saying the music was relaxing and made them feel calm and able to focus.  Some children also found that the concerts helped them to feel inspired to develop their own musicianship and instrument playing outside of school.  We would like to extend our thanks to HHH concerts for funding this opportunity and inviting us along.
