MFL Warwick University European Day of Languages

On Friday 26th September 2025, Mrs Riley, MFL lead, took some of the Year 5 and 6 pupils to Warwick University to take part in the European Day of Languages.  This was an enrichment opportunity for pupils to further develop their Spanish skills.  The pupils took part in four activities: Flamenco dancing; learning about the historic story of Don Quixote; an escape room and a Spanish quiz.  It was a priviledge to take the Coundon Pupils on Friday who displayed their Spanish speaking skills throughout the day.  Well done Year 5 and 6.

Children’s Mile 2025

On Sunday 22nd June, Coundon Primary took part in yet another Children’s Mile and it was our best turn out for a while! As usual, there was a buzzing atmosphere as over 30 schools took part in this year’s mile (with over 1000 children and hundreds of adults running, too). We took along 35 children and 22 supporting adults/members of staff. All of our runners really pushed themselves to get around the course and they had a great time!

Here are our top 3 runners, well done Patrick, Ben and Elliot!

A big thank you to everyone who joined us whether you ran or supported from the side lines, your entry fee has gone towards a great cause! A huge thank you also to the staff who gave up their time on a Sunday morning, and of course to the organisers for putting on this event each year!

A Musical Treat for KS2

On Friday 4th April, Coundon Primary School had the pleasure of a visit from some musicians from Bablake Senior School. We were treated to several performances of live music from pupils from year 9 to year 13. We listened to a vocal duet as well as performances played on the keyboard, saxophone, trombone, cello and trumpet.

The children discussed the names of the instruments that were used and which of the instrumental families each instrument belonged to. The children listened in awe and really enjoyed each performance.

A huge thank you to Bablake for coming to us to perform and also a huge thank you to Mrs Dalton for organising this treat on a Friday afternoon.

Year 3 MVP sessions with Year 6

On Friday 4th April, 4 year 6 children came down to year 3 to deliver a special session on ‘Sportsmanship. They played some warm up activities with the children to help them to relax and then they shared some scenarios with the children. The children were also given time to act out the scenarios before discussions took place around the situation.

The children had to think about how each of the characters in the situation would be feeling, including the bystander. They had to give reasons why they may be feeling this way and also think of suggestions of how the children in the scenario could have handled the situation differently.

Our year 6 visitors were great, they shared the session with maturity and listened to everything that the year 3s had to say, guided them when they needed support.

Thank you Saim, Amelia, Lewis and Ruby!

KS2 Panathlon

On Monday 3rd February, a group of children had the pleasure to take part in a Panathlon. This is a lovely event aimed at children who are not always the most confident at sports and it provides them with the opportunity to have a go in a relaxed, less competitive environment. The children had a fantastic time and were a real credit to Coundon Primary School.
