Some lovely families, who collected their trees from us last week, have sent in some photos of their amazing, finished trees! It is brilliant to see how they look with lights and decorations. If this has given you tree envy, make sure to buy one from our PTA next year!

We are delighted to have been recognised as an 'Equal Access School' by Barclays and England Football's 'Girls' Football School Partnerships.' Thanks to the huge number of girls who have attended football clubs and represented our school football teams over recent years!

Our School Taster Afternoon, being held this Wednesday, is the perfect opportunity to see whether Sonning Common Primary School is the ideal fit for your child. We will be opening up our Foundation Stage classroom for you to explore. To book your place, go to our website.

Our Christingle celebration was a brilliant start to our festivities. The children made their own Christingles, learned about their meaning and sang Christmas carols. #sonningcommon #sonningcommonprimaryschool #henleyschools #cavershamschools #readingschools #oxfordshireschools

We are really looking forward to seeing you and your loved ones at our Christmas Fair this Saturday. Spread the word by sharing this post. #sonningcommon #sonningcommonprimaryschool #henleyschools #cavershamschools #oxfordshireschools #readingschools

We are opening up our Foundation Stage classroom and garden area for parents and pre-school children to experience. You will be able to meet our Headteacher and Foundation Stage teachers and take part in a range of engaging activities. To book your place, go to our website.

To keep the children busy during the October half term, we ran a nature-inspired art competition. We were so impressed by all of the amazing entries! #sonningcommon #sonningcommonprimaryschool #henleyschools #CavershamSchools #oxfordshireschools #readingschools

We see the development of the children in our care, both academically and as people, as a close-knit partnership with parents. Our Maths Made Clear videos, available on Youtube, are an example of our commitment to this principle. youtube.com/playlist?list=… #sonningcommon #schools

Here are some of the reasons why we are so proud of our school. We hope this video will help inform your decision as to whether Sonning Common is the right school for you.

A big thank you to everyone who took part in our Children in Need fundraiser. It was lovely to see so many children wearing yellow and Pudsey ears to support this important cause. Together, we raised an impressive £420 for Children in Need. Well done to everyone who contributed!

Join us for our Christmas Fair on Saturday 30th November from 12pm to 3pm!

October's Big Thank You Winner is Mrs Chadwick. She is always smiling and supports so many children by offering a listening ear and a helping hand. She is an amazing colleague who is kind, supportive and funny.

We are again offering quality Christmas trees at a competitive price. Please email your order to pta@sonning-common.oxon.sch.uk by 15th November. Thank you for your support.

Our art focus for last term was self-portraiture (see some of the amazing work produced by Year 1 and Year 4), and it looked so much fun the teachers decided to have a go!

We are grateful to families who came to school at the weekend to help with a tidy-up of our wonderful grounds. We weeded borders and edges, trimmed shrubs and emptied the greenhouse ready for refurbishment, plus many other jobs!

@RachelJ52585727 Yes - please see the Year Six section of the school website.

@sonningcommonps Are there any updates on the children and what they have been up to? Thank you

Excellent journey. Lunch time.

We are so proud of our school! We would love to have the chance to show you around. This year we can offer tours of the school so you can see our classrooms and our stunning grounds. Please book a tour or attend an open afternoon on October 12th or 14th at 3.45pm. 0118 9722105

We have had a pretty special first week back! Everyone has settled well into their new classes, and the mix of children and teachers seems to be working effectively. Most importantly, the atmosphere in classes and on the playground is happy and positive. Welcome back!

To mark the end of this unusual year we were still able to hold a Leavers’ ceremony (outside) this afternoon. An emotional event - trophies and yearbooks handed out; kind words and best wishes dispensed to one and all.
