Recently, we hosted a vibrant summer fair that brought together pupils, families and neighbours for a joyful celebration of community and creativity. The playground was filled with excitement as children took part in sponge the teacher, raffles, photo opportunities, a bouncy castle and a wonderful selection of food representing the many cultures within our school.

We also had Face painting, Hena, fishing for rubber ducks, lucky dip prizes and many other exciting activities which created a lively atmosphere that kept everyone smiling throughout the afternoon.

A highlight of the day was seeing pupils perform musical pieces in front of their families, including confident piano performances that showcased their growing creative skills. These moments link directly to the Trust wide Creative Artsphere programme, which celebrates creativity across UST schools.

Creative Artsphere is a festival of workshops, performances, exhibitions and artistic experiences that help children explore creative learning, wellbeing and personal growth. This first year establishes Creative Artsphere as a Trust wide identity that will continue to develop in future years.

The summer fair was organised by our Student Council and our parent community, Friends of St Pauls Way. Their dedication and teamwork helped create a warm and welcoming event, and we are deeply grateful to our families, pupils and local communities for their support in making the day such a success.

This event reflects our value of community because it brought people together, strengthened relationships and showed the power of shared experiences in helping children feel connected, supported and proud of their school.
