This half term, we have thoroughly enjoyed welcoming parents and carers into the academy for our Stay and Share activities, as well as our class celebration assemblies. It has been wonderful to see so many families engaging in a wide range of classroom experiences, including music, parachute games, and arts and crafts.

Our assemblies were filled with fantastic celebrations of students’ work. The children spoke clearly and confidently, sharing their learning through the stories of The Samaritans and Macbeth, which was a real pleasure to see.

We have had another busy term at Discovery. Have a look at our galleries to see some of the wonderful things we have done.
