CYP Upper: Take a Sneaky Peek at our Museum Week!
We have had a wonderfully creative week. Year 6 have been creating death masks and learning about mummification, the process of preserving bodies ready for the afterlife.
Opportunities within The Pegasus Academy Trust. We have a number of teaching vacancies for September 2024 including two positions for Deputy Heads of School. For more information and/or an informal chat please contact Lynne Sampson at lsampson@pegasusacademytrust.org

This half-term we are working hard to develop our oracy skills; we have been thinking about oracy carefully and have decided that good listening skills are a prerequisite to good speaking skills.
Following the success of the Whitehorse Year 5 and 6 Indoor Athletics Team at the qualifying event in December, the team attended the finals event on Wednesday to compete against the other qualifying schools.
Y5 have had a superb day today! The day didn’t start off as we had planned as we have had to reschedule our workshop, but that didn’t stop the children having lots of of Viking fun!
Happy New Year to all of our Cypress families! We hope you have had a restful holiday.
The Y5 children worked incredibly hard this week to put on for performances – that’s right, FOUR!
