5 Star Food Hygiene Award

A huge congratulations to our school kitchen team at Randlay Primary School for achieving the highest possible food hygiene rating of 5 stars following their recent inspection by one of the Food & Safety Team’s Environmental Health Officers.

This achievement highlights the school’s commitment to maintaining excellent food safety standards.

Well done to all involved!


VE Day Celebrations

Today, we responded to a letter from an American Fighter pilot Colonel Joseph Peterburs, solved some encrypted codes and created some lovely watercolour scenes to celebrate VE Day.


VE Art Competition

 

To celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day this year, we held a school-wide VE Day art competition titled ‘The Day Peace Returned.’ Students from all year groups were encouraged to showcase their creativity, resulting in an incredible array of entries that beautifully captured the spirit and significance of VE Day. The finalists were carefully judged by our school council, who had the challenging task of selecting the most outstanding pieces. The winners were then announced in a special assembly, where the entire school came together to celebrate the artistic talents of our students and remember the importance of peace.

A collage of doves, flags and fireworks

A sculpture showing people coming together

A drawing of families reunited.

Entries should be bought into school on Wednesday 7th May, via your child’s class base, and will be judged by the School Council on Thursday 8th May! Prizes to be given during assembly on Friday 9th May.
