• EYFS and KS1 sparkle at the nativity

  Wed 17 Dec 2025

  The last two days our EYFS and KS1 have entertained audiences with their wonderful nativity.

   

  All the children sang beautifully and remembered their lines.

   

  Thank you to everyone for providing the lovely costumes and hopefully you all now feel Christmassy

  

• A magical visit

  Fri 12 Dec 2025

  What a day!

   

  A super surprise visit from Father Christmas and his reindeers.

   

  Father Christmas kindly brought the children class gifts and you can imagine that everyone was super excited!

   

  A huge thank you to our special visitors at this very busy time of year for you and making our day at Polebrook CE Primary School really magical!

  

• RLT Christmas choir

  Fri 12 Dec 2025

  On Monday some of our KS2 children joined all the other Rutland Learning Trust schools at Oakham church for a Christmas carol service.

  
  The children sang beautifully and were truly amazing. They bought lots of Christmas joy and we were all certainly ready for Christmas by the end!

  

• Christingle

  Fri 05 Dec 2025

  Yesterday our children made their Christingle candles before taking part in the Christingle service at church.

   

  A lovely time was had by all although the sweets were very tempting to many!

   

  • The orange symbolises the world.
  • The red ribbon shows God's love for the world and the blood of Jesus.
  • The sweets represent God's creations.
  • The four cocktail sticks can represent either the four seasons or the four corners of the world.
  • The candle represents Jesus being the light of the world, bringing hope to those in darkness.

  

• Cyber awareness day

  Wed 03 Dec 2025

  Last week, two of our Year 5 pupils took part in a two day activity along with other children from RLT schools to film a play about online safety.

   

  They all had different roles in the play demonstrating Cyber Awareness.

   

  The children showed great respect, confidence and creativity to work with the producers to develop a Cyberwise video.

   

  They were true ambassadors of Polebrook School.

   

  In January, clips of the play will start to be released to demonstrate safety awareness.

   

  We cannot wait to see the finished videos.

  

• Trip to the National Space Centre

  Fri 28 Nov 2025

  On Monday, MILK class took a trip to the National Space Centre in Leicester.

  The purpose of our trip was to consolidate our learning of our Earth and Space unit from Term 1.

  There were lots of hands on experiences where the children could experience mission control, taking off in a rocket and even test their skills ready to become an astronaut. The children tested their heart rate whilst climbing up over 150 steps to reach the top of the rocket, this was not for the faint hearted!

  We finished our day with a rest in the planetarium where we took a trip to the various planets in our solar system putting our knowledge of the planets to the test.

  It was a fabulous day and the children represented Polebrook incredibly well.

  

• Science Ambassadors

  Wed 26 Nov 2025

  Last week our science ambassadors attended their first science day at Kings Cliffe Primary.

  It was a great day and the children worked with children from our local schools to create balloon cars and a giant brain!

  They showed great resilience and teamwork and represented our school brilliantly!

  We are looking forward to them putting on a science club this term to share what they learnt. 

  

• Polebrook raises funds for Children in Need

  Fri 14 Nov 2025

  All the children had a wonderful day, despite the weather! Raising funds for Children in Need.

   

  Money was raised by a non uniform day, disco, MLK organised some games, the Children in Need Duck Race and the sale of pudsey goods.

   

  An incredible amount was raised by our small school of £227.25

   

  Thank you everyone that participated and donated for your generosity, as always Polebrook was awesome.

  

• Cross Country for MLK

  Fri 17 Oct 2025

  A huge well done to our cross country team from Year 5 and 6 who participated in the RLT cross country tournament at Catsmore College yesterday.

   

  The distance was for Year 5 - 1.8km and for Year 6 - 2km

  The children had an opportunity to watch the first races and observe and judge the distance and whilst doing this they were clapping and encouraging other runners from other schools.

  The distance for some was daunting but the positive attitude and ‘give it a go’ was truly impressive to see.

   

  All the pupils participating had a great time.

   

  Well done Team Polebrook, we are really proud of you

  

• Success at Spelling Bee

  Fri 10 Oct 2025

  A huge well done to the children that took part in the Spelling Bee final, and a particular ‘CONGRATULATIONS!’ to our Year 5 pupil for placing first across the whole of the Rutland Learning Trust!

   

  AMAZING!
