An exciting week for many of our pupils with Year 6 visiting Herstmonceux Science Centre. Set against the stunning backdrop of the former Royal Greenwich Observatory, the day was a perfect blend of history, science and hands-on discovery. Years 4 & 5 continued their amazing film making where they learned how to use a range of technical equipment and make props. This was a unique opportunity for our pupils which they fully enjoyed. This term’s gymnastics and dance lessons are challenging the children’s abilities and they are are enjoying using a range of equipment as they refine their agilities. Great job everyone! 💙

It’s been a pleasure to welcome Rich Pringle as a mentor for some of our young people, supporting emotional wellbeing, confidence, and self-regulation. Rich’s sessions are calm, supportive, and child-led, using conversation, practical activities, and creative approaches to help pupils explore feelings, build coping strategies, and feel more settled and confident in school. Year 4 & 5 started an exciting film project with the Bright Foundation. The first session went really well creating the story and script which they will film and produce themselves supported by the brilliant team. This is a really great project backed by BAFTA, Disney and the British Museum and the summation of the project will be Hastings first ever Children's International Film Festival taking place in June 2026 of which the group has been invited to. This term is packed with exciting events and visitors to enhance our pupils’ learning and expand their minds. It’s wonderful to see the benefit these cultural experiences bring and the pure enjoyment from the children. Happy weekend all Mrs Campbell & The OVPA Team 💙

The second week of term whizzes by and already there is so much learning taking place across the school 💙 Plenty of creative opportunities with Dance, Music and Art in full flow, which we know hugely benefits our pupils. We have two dance squads taking part in Time to Dance at The White Rock Theatre at the end of this term. They have been working hard, perfecting their routines ready for their big performance on stage. 💃🏻 🕺🏻 Our Chess team continue to practise regularly so they are ready for their next competition. Their dedication is admirable. ♟️ We said goodbye to Mrs Hurst on Friday and wished her well as she starts her maternity leave. We look forward to hearing about the arrival of her baby.👶🏼 Have a wonderful weekend everyone and keep up the excellent work Mrs Campbell & The OVPA Team 💙

Yesterday was a very special moment for our school community as we held our Festive Sing at Christ Church Ore for the first time. 🎶 It was an opportunity to bring pupils, staff, Governors, parents, carers, relatives and friends together, in the heart of Ore Village, on our last day of term and celebrate our wonderful children and all they achieve. ♥️ You can’t beat the sound of children singing, especially at Christmas time. The retelling of the Christmas story through readings and music was stunning. It was wonderful to have everyone joining in our selection of traditional Christmas carols truly helping us get ready for the festive season. 🎄 Thank you for joining us and we hope you enjoyed our special moment as much as we did. Happy Christmas everyone! Mrs Campbell & The OVPA Team 💙

The reading gap Approx one in four pupils move to secondary school without having met the expected standard in the key stage 2 national reading test. This holds many of them back in secondary school, both in their English lessons and more widely across the curriculum. /1— Mary Myatt (@MaryMyatt) August 5, 2025

Great start to the year, with our local schools, for our Alliance Inset day at Bannatynes. @ModernCassie got us thinking about aligning our roles to champion SEND success & adaptive teaching. We shared successful practice & strategies, to expand our toolkit. A very positive day!— Ore Village Primary Academy (@orevpa) Jan 6, 2025
