Headteacher Message It was wonderful to see all the children so involved and enthusiastic about our Coleham Coronation day today! They have made some wonderful crowns and you could feel the positivity everywhere you looked. Our Coronation Coleham’s Got Talent show was FANTASTIC, (despite the weather drenching us on our conga!) and the performance at the end to parents was really special. It’s moments like that which really show what Coleham is all about.
Other highlights included a visit from our Town Crier, and an extra special visit (and late entry) to the talent show from The Spice Girls! Posh, Baby, Scary, Sporty and Geri were all there, which was a real treat. Nearly 30 years on from their first show, they can still perform!
Well done to all our super Year 2s who took on their KS1 SATs tests this week, and good luck to our fantastic Year 6s who will be taking on their own SATs tests next week. It’s really important to us that the children feel relaxed and ready to do their best, and that they feel proud of their achievements, whatever the outcome. To help them be prepared, we are treating them to a pastry breakfast at 9:00 am every day next week.
I hope you all enjoy the long weekend, and we will see you back in school on Tuesday 9th May.

Coronation Celebration Wow, what a royal occasion! We celebrated in true Coleham style and carried on despite the weather! We made royal crowns in our House Competition and met the Town Crier who joined us for lunch. We had such fun at our whole school ‘Coleham Conga’ in the rain and ended up with some soggy crowns before settling down for our Coleham’s Got Talent Coronation Show 2023. We had some fabulous class acts gymnastics, football skills, comedy and even rapping in Spanish! We were even joined by Simon Cowell and a surprise staff act The Spice Girls! Last but not least was our grand finale singing The Coronation Song to all our parents led by the wonderful Mrs Porrett.
Watch the highlights below:

Our Museum Year 1 visited our very own school Museum housed in our historic Coach House. The ex Coachman’s living quarters from long ago has been restored into a museum with Victorian artefacts and Coleham documents. Year 1 learnt all about the history of our Coach House, school site and the Limes Estate as part of their topic on The Victorians.
EYFS visit Shrewsbury Castle This week the children in Reception visited Shrewsbury Castle as part of their topic ‘Long ago and far away’.
During their visit they enjoyed learning about the history of our local castle, and used this as inspiration for some artwork too.
