• Global Goals day

  Wow! What an end to our half term!
  Polebrook have entered the RLT Writing Competition and taken part in the Make a Difference: Global Goals day.
  Each child made a pledge to make the world a better place by 2030 and chose a Global Goal to focus on. They then designed a t-shirt and the top 3 designs will be made into actual t-shirts! Check out some of our fabulous designs!

• Frida Kahlo class went on a visit to Ashby Asparagus Farm in Polebrook.

  Mon 20 May 2024

  To finish off this term's topic of Growing - Frida Kahlo class went on a visit to Ashby Asparagus Farm in Polebrook.

  The children were delighted to be shown all the huge machinery and were even allowed to sit in their brand new tractor.

  Mike Ashby was kind enough to guide us all round the farm and taught us how wheat is grown and showed us where it was dried off.

  We went home with some lovely asparagus although some of it didn't make it home as some of the children loved the taste of it fresh and raw and munched it straight away!

  

• Two teams enter the Schools' Triathlon

  Fri 17 May 2024

  A huge congratulations to two teams of Polebrook children who took part in the Schools' Triathlon in Oundle last Sunday.

  One from MLK and the other from SW.

  On probably the hottest day of the year so far, they all had to swim 50m, bike 1000m and run 750m and they had been busy raising money for the charities involved.

  One comment from a parent 'It was such a wonderful day and such a lovely memory for them all to have. They all had such great team spirit and support for one another which was such an amazing quality to see'

  You are awesome and a huge well done from everyone at school, we are super proud of you all.

• Science Masterclasses UKS2

  Fri 24 Nov 2023

   Staff members from Uppingham School were really keen to support the Rutland Learning Trust Schools again with science masterclasses for our more able Year 5/6 scientists. Four of our pupils attended these masterclasses which focused on our current topic of Earth and Space, as well as Light and Forces. The sessions have now come to an end this year. Thank you so much to our parents who helped with transport to these sessions.
