Lapford Primary School 'is on track to be good' at its next Ofsted inspection according to Mr Neil Swait, a registered Ofsted inspector, who has recently carried out a review of the school. The full report is available here.

On the final day of the half-term, Herons travelled down to deepest, darkest Cornwall for a visit to the Eden project. 

Kingfishers recently travelled to Chulmleigh College to watch Panta Rei's performance of Petals and Tales. The show, performed in the round by the Norwegian contemporary dance theatre company, featured dance, music, poetry and fairy tales. The children were captivated by the performance and absolutely loved getting on the stage at the end and playing with the petals which featured in the show.

Herons had a wonderful visit to the Tiverton Museum recently. They learnt lots about life during the war: they were able to experience what it was like to go shopping during rationing times; how people cooked and carried out sewing at home; they dressed up as evacuees and experienced catching a real-life steam train and also  experienced an air raid shelter siren whilst sitting in an air raid shelter. They had a fantastic day and learnt lots!

At Forest School recently Kingfishers played beetle tag, after finding a two-handed longhorn beetle before half-term. They looked for different types of mini beasts. We finished the session having fun with a parachute, trying to keep leaves on it as it moved. We did a parachute review, hiding underneath and thinking which activities we could plan! Toasting marshmallows was a favourite suggestion.

School is open, however due to the snow falling today, Y6 pupils will be returned to their home school this morning.
