Deep Christian roots, Nurturing strong growth, Flourishing children

Welcome to Mrs Ethelston's C E Primary Academy

Mrs Ethelston's offers a high standard of education within a caring and Christian setting. It is important to us that our children leave us as well-rounded, reflective and confident individuals, who achieve their full potential. Children should enjoy school, feeling safe to take on new challenges and experience learning in a variety of ways.

On Friday, we will be having our first 'Stop the Clock' day of the year, where we stop our learning and focus on a different theme for the day. We will be learning all about #HelloYellow, which raises awareness for mental health in young people. We are encouraging the students to come to school wearing an item of yellow - a cardigan, socks, hairband etc with the rest of their normal school wear. If you would be happy to support the cause, please donate here: https://fundraise.youngminds.org.uk/fundraisers/bethanystapleforth/hello-yellow?enref=805871b317e1e8c3856eb4f3de266f95

We are incredibly grateful to some of our Year 6 children who joined Miss Stapleforth at the Minster Church on Sunday. Bishop Mike, from the Exeter Diocese, led a sermon at the church for a first time, to open their new facilities. This was a very exciting opportunity for our school, as our children were able to read part of the service to the congregation. Bishop Mike was kind enough to give us a tree to plant too!

Year 5 and 6 went on a great trip to Bath American Museum yesterday. Despite some interesting bus journeys, the children had a great time and learned loads about Native Americans and their lifestyle, as well as exploring some amazing artefacts. A key moment for the children was rolling down the hill! Thank you to our amazing volunteers who came with us, we really appreciate it!

There is no rest for year 6 as they have wonderful local author Rachel Brooker visiting, leading a great workshop on character and writing with purpose! Thank you for such a wonderful session!
