To kick-start our magical Polar Express Day, the children in F2 were filled with excitement as they had their tickets stamped and climbed aboard our very own Polar Express, ready for a festive adventure!

We are delighted to share that, thanks to our wonderful supportive school community, we raised a phenomenal £900 at yesterday's Christmas Fair! A huge thank you to our amazing team for their hard work in the build up and, of course, thank you to our families for attending and supporting BFHA. 

A HUGE thank you to our amazing children, staff, and school council for coming together to create the Bilsthorpe Flying High Academy Christmas tree — we know have UNIQUE, EXCEPTIONAL, and SUSTAINABLE creations that we can cherish forever.

We kept a special spot at the top of the tree for Trish, a dearly loved TA and colleague we will always remember!

We’re so grateful for your creativity, your time, and your wonderful community spirit.

St Margaret’s Church is shining brighter because of you!

Today, Year 3 and Year 4 had a wicked afternoon at Sherwood Pines taking part in the Jingle Jog! The children smashed an incredible 5 miles, all dressed in festive Christmas outfits and things that jingle. Their behaviour was fantastic and we are so proud of every one of them.

What a brilliant start to the Christmas festivities! 🎄✨

✨ Y1 have been getting all Christmassy today, and even had a special visitor this morning!
Let’s hope Merry doesn’t get up to too much mischief… 👀🎄

And can we take a moment to appreciate the beautifully decorated tree the children helped create? They’ve done such a wonderful job! 🌟

Happy 1st of December! 🎅🎁

World of Work Wednesday

Today we celebrated World of Work Wednesday, and what an exciting day it was for our children!

We were delighted to welcome Freyja’s dad, who volunteers as a community first aid responder. He spoke to the children about the vital role ambulances play in helping people and even explained what an EpiPen is and how it is used. Freyja proudly shared that she has helped her dad by using one when he has been unwell, and the children loved having the chance to try out a training EpiPen themselves. Thank you so much for visiting and inspiring our nursery learners!

In F2, the children had a fantastic time learning all about Miss Evans’s sister and her important job in the army. They were fascinated to discover that she serves in the Royal Artillery and has taken part in many meaningful roles. The highlight for many was finding out that she has even guarded Buckingham Palace, helping keep the King safe and protecting one of the most iconic buildings in the country. The children were thrilled to watch a video of her marching outside the Palace!

We were also lucky to have Noah’s dad, who shared his experiences as a lorry driver, and Arlo and Ariella's stepdad, who spoke about his career in the army. The children loved hearing about the different roles their families have in the world of work.

A huge thank you to all of the grown-ups who gave their time today. These experiences mean so much to the children and help them learn about the many amazing jobs people do in our community.
