  • Year 6 have an exciting visit!

    Published 29/10/21

    Year 6 had a fantastic visit today and were able to see firsthand a Willis Jeep and an ambulance that would have been used in the War. The ambulance was actually used in the film 'Dunkirk'.

    'It was amazing, the Jeep was made in 1942 and the ambulance in 1944' Ben P

    'I could barely get into the ambulance it was so tall!' Albert

    'It was good fun, I got to wear a helmet. I got to sit in the driver's seat in the Willis Jeep' Michelle

    It was really informative and interesting and gave our Year 6s a first-hand experience of what it was like inside the vehicles.

  • Halloween Advice from Northamptonshire Police

    Published 22/10/21

    Halloween advice

    We want people to have fun, but we also want them to stay safe and respect those who may not want to join in the celebrations this Halloween.

    Here are some tips to help ensure your evening does not turn into a nightmare:

    • All children should be accompanied by an adult when trick-or-treating
    • Only go to the houses of people who you know, and who are happy for you to call round
    • Never be tempted to go inside someone's house
    • Do not call at houses that have 'no trick or treat' posters on show. There may be elderly or vulnerable people living at these addresses who do not feel comfortable speaking to strangers
    • Keep to well-lit areas and don't take shortcuts through gardens or alleyways
    • Wear bright clothing or reflective strips, and always carry a torch
    • If you’re driving be aware of the increased foot traffic, drive slowly and be vigilant

    Please remember Halloween is not an excuse for nuisance and intimidating behaviour. We are issuing a clear warning that anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated and action will be taken against criminal activity.

    Report a concern 

    Halloween is one of our busiest night of the year in terms of call handling so the ease the pressure on our call handlers please:

    Please feel free to share via the usual social media channels.

  • Computer Games

    Published 08/10/21

    We are very aware that we have shared information about the home use of computer games many times. In school, we see the impact of children acting out games that have ratings much higher than their age. Language choices and levels of aggression can make break and lunch times very difficult. There are, of course, a huge array of amazing games that can be a lot of fun and often support learning too.
