• Year 5 Divali Day

  Mon 27 Nov 2023

  Year 5 have had a fantastic time this week learning about Divali and relating it to their English text ‘Asha and the Spirit Bird’ by Jasbinder Bilan’. After school on Thursday we welcomed parents and carers in to see the beautiful Rangoli patterns we have made, marvel at the amazing narratives we had written and taste some of the Indian sweets that we had made. It was brilliant to have so many of you join us.

  

• 1st Place at Football Tournament

  Fri 24 Nov 2023

  On Thursday, Miss Moule and Mr Fallon took a group of 8 boys to a football tournament at Linton Village College.  There were 14 schools involved including 4 other Meridian Trust schools.  Five matches were played and the team won three and drew two which was amazing.  After each match, each team had to score their opponents for Skill, Teamwork and Fair Play.   We were delighted that, in the final presentation, we scored highest out of all schools for skill!  Our success didn’t stop there! Our team was awarded the highest overall score in the three categories putting us in the pole position.  Each of the team members has been presented with their certificates in assembly today and they also received a Cambridge United jacket each!  We were so proud of how they worked together, the encouragement they gave each other and the other teams in the tournament.

• Silver School Games Mark

  Wed 01 Nov 2023

  We are delighted to announce that we, Histon and Impington Park Primary, have achieved the School Games Silver Mark Award for the 2022/23 academic year. The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success. With a total of young people competing in local inter-school competitions this year, we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible. As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year. Well done to all involved!
