We are so excited to share that our beautiful Shepherd’s Hut is nearly ready for its grand opening next week! 🌿💛

The children have been busy choosing items they’d love to see inside – helping us create a warm, cosy, and inspiring space just for them 🥹

If you’d like to support, we’ve created a wishlist here:
👉 https://www.thingstogetme.com/2203421a74db9

Every little contribution will help us decorate and bring the hut to life ready for opening day ✨

Thank you so much for your continued support – we can’t wait to show you the finished space next week! 💫

Here's my wish list I created on Things To Get Me, the universal wish list maker. It's a free website that let's you create your wish list easily and quickly.

We hope all the lovely Mums, Grandmas and special people enjoyed their Mother’s Day boxes that the children prepared last week. 💐

It was such a joy seeing the children choose and pack their gifts so carefully – they were very excited to take them home ready for Mothering Sunday yesterday.

Thank you to everyone who supported the PTA pop-up shop, and we hope your treats helped make the day feel a little extra special. 💕

🌸 Mother’s Day Pop-Up Shop Reminder 🌸

There are just 2 days left to order a Mother’s Day token for our special pop-up shop taking place in school this Friday.

Children with a token will have the opportunity to visit the shop during the school day and choose a little surprise themselves for someone special, which always makes it a lovely experience for them.

If you’d like your child to take part, please make sure tokens are ordered before the deadline so they don’t miss out.

Thank you for supporting this event! 💐

✨ What a treat for Class 1 parents today! ✨

Parents of Class 1 were lucky enough to enjoy a yummy school dinner today alongside the children - and we were even treated to some lovely piano playing while we ate 🎹🥰

Thank you so much for having us, it was such a special experience and so lovely to share it with the children. We really appreciate it! 💛

🎒✨ Back to school today for our amazing Whalton children! ✨🎒

And that also means… 🏊‍♀️ back to swimming! 🏊‍♂️

Did you know that every single child at Whalton goes swimming every week? 💦

One of the many brilliant benefits of being part of a small village school 🌿🏫

Building confidence 💪
Learning life-saving skills 🛟
And having lots of fun along the way 😄

We’re so lucky 💙
Here’s to a great term ahead! 🌈📚✨

👕👖 Clothes Bank - Plenty of Space! 👗🧥

We’ve currently got lots of room in our clothes bank at Whalton School 🎉

If you’re having a clear out, please do consider popping your unwanted clothes, shoes or textiles in.

Every donation helps us raise much-needed funds for our little school, so it’s a simple way to declutter and support the children at the same time 💛

Thank you so much for your continued support - it really does make a difference! 🙏
