    Pondhu Primary School

    A very warm welcome to Pondhu Primary School.
    We are all very proud of our school and the children who work hard in order to achieve well.

    Our aim at Pondhu is to provide a rich and balanced curriculum that challenges every learner. Our staff are passionate about getting the very best out of every child ensuring that we maximise every learning opportunity.

    Our school is a positive, exciting learning environment whereby our children are enthused about their learning. We provide opportunities for our children to take risks and challenge themselves in their thinking as well as in their actions.

    Pondhu is rapidly raising standards and expectations. Staff constantly seek to improve their practice and in doing so provide your children with the best opportunities to progress in their learning. Pondhu is a unique and special school with the children at its heart. We create lasting memories for our children and ensure that their learning journey is enjoyable and rewarding.

  • Remembrance Day at Pondhu Primary School Today, we came together for a special Remembrance Day assembly to remember and honour all those who have served, and continue to serve, our country. Our KS2 children proudly laid the beautiful poppy wreaths they had made, and members of our School Parliament read the moving poem 'In Flanders Fields'. We were incredibly proud of how respectfully and thoughtfully all of the children observed our minute of silence. It was a lovely opportunity for us all to pause, reflect and remember. We will remember them. 🌺

  • 🎆🔥What a fantastic week celebrating Bonfire Night in EYFS! 🔥🎆 We've had so much fun exploring all things Bonfire Night in Nursery and Reception through lots of exciting, hands-on activities! We've made our own sparklers using sticks and colourful ribbons, created delicious edible sparklers using breadsticks and chocolate, and experimented with a range of materials to create our own firework-inspired artwork. From pipe cleaners, chalk, glitter and glue to splatting paint, we've explored lots of different ways to make our fireworks burst with colour! 🎨💥 We've also been making marks in the sand to create our own firework patterns and using our scrubbing skills to wash away painted flames. These activities have provided fantastic opportunities to develop our fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, mark-making, creativity and sensory exploration. Alongside all the creativity, we've been learning about why we celebrate Bonfire Night and developing our communication and language skills by talking about the sights and sounds of a firework display. We've been using lots of wonderful descriptive words to explain what we might see and hear on firework night! 🎇 A week full of creativity, curiosity, sensory exploration and meaningful learning, all while having LOTS of fun!

  • 🔥🎶 Pondhu's Bonfire Disco! 🎶🔥 What a fantastic time we had at our Bonfire Disco! The children had a brilliant time dancing, singing and enjoying the party atmosphere. 💃🕺 A particular highlight had to be the amazing rendition of the Macarena, with KS2 and staff showing off their moves! We think there may be a few dance stars among us! 😂 A huge thank you to everyone who helped organise and support the disco. It was lovely to see so many happy faces and everyone having such a great time. A brilliant evening of fun, laughter and dancing! 💙
