A huge thank you to everyone for supporting the Art Gallery.
We were blown away by the quality of work and it was lovely to see and hear children’s pride in their art work. The gallery looked professional and really gave status to the children’s work and skills.
It was wonderful to see so many of you attending our Firework Display this week. It was a fantastic event which brought the school community together. Asher S was the lucky winner of our raffle, pressing the button to launch the fireworks.
On Sunday 18th June, 16 Coventry schools (including Coundon) took part in the Children’s Mile for the first time since 2019! It was lovely to get back into this community event.
Not only were funds raised for Team Coventry, but funds have also been raised by the event for local charity, Three Spires Family Support Trust. Alongside fundraising for important causes, the event was designed to encourage children to stay active.
Fourteen of our children took part in this event (from years 2 to 6) alongside Mr Scott and Mrs Gray. The lovely Miss Ferris also gave up her morning to join us and show her support! The children were great, they were full of enthusiasm and all ran the mile between 6 and 12 minutes, with one of our youngest runners coming 6th overall, out of around 500 runners, well done Lewis Scott!
Let’s hope they we can encourage more children to be involved next year.
On Thursday, the school was open during our first snow of the year. The children got time to go out at breaktime and lunch to play in the snow with their friends.
The video below shows a selection of photos from the day.
Over half term the children were given the opportunity to ‘Look at Coventry Through Maths Eyes’ and take photos of things in and around Coventry, using this inspiration to pose a Maths question.

Thank you to everyone for your wonderful entries, they were amazing.
We are proud to announce that 2 of our pupils were named as finalists in this year’s Coventry Building Society’s Young Writers competition:
Evelyn W (Year 3) for her story ‘‘The window of food’
Jacob S (Year 4) for his story ‘The Mystery of the Missing Detective’
Both were invited to attend an awards ceremony at Coventry Building Society Arena on Thursday 2nd March, along with Mrs Maude and their families. The competition received 2,020 entries, with the number being reduced down to 20 for the finalist’s event.
Evelyn and Jacob had an amazing time, with a special tour of the arena before attending the ceremony. Both children were highly commended for their writing and received a certificate and a goodie bag.
