Report by Royal British Legion Littleport Branch Secretary Margaret McGowen Armistice Day Thursday 11 November 2021 There was quite a large gathering of people at the War Memorial in Littleport.

Millfield and Parsons Lane community schools were represented by pupils and staff. Pupils from both schools laid wreaths at the…

As I write this, the children have finished school for the day, about to start their October half term break. Although the number of weeks is similar to the first half term of every school year, it has felt long and everybody is definitely ready for the break! Children and staff have struggled with coughs and colds; however whilst Covid numbers have increased locally in the last few weeks I’m pleased to say Covid hasn’t…

Headteacher’s Message – Mr Rivett It has already been a fun filled term with so many exciting things going on across the school and, at the time of writing this, it is only October! The activities and events our children have taken part in so far this term presents a stark contrast to where we were only a year ago. Year 6 – Miss Hoal, Year 5/6 Lead This term has been very busy for…

A Message from Headteacher Adam Rivett Since the last issue of Littleport Life, we have welcomed back the whole school from a national lockdown and the classrooms are once again alive with learning! A balloon arch full of rainbow colours welcomed families back and certainly helped to put a smile on the faces of some anxious families. Talking of smiles on faces, we also celebrated Red Nose Day and the theme of ‘superheroes’ gave us…

when I wrote my last contribution to the Littleport Life, we were in a national lockdown and I was hopeful that schools would re-open just before Easter. As I write this at the end of April, schools did indeed fully re-open to all children on March 8th, the national vaccination programme is proving to be something that as a nation we can be proud of, milestones on the Prime Minister’s road map seem to be…

I am writing this article at the very end of January and you will be reading it when it comes through your letter boxes sometime around Easter- I am looking forward to things being different at Easter compared with how they are now and it’s important that we remain hopeful. As I write this we are in a national lockdown and schools are ‘closed’ – but I think the definition of ‘closed’ must have changed….

Learning Matters

I have just been saying to my ever patient and loving partner, as she stood beside me, asking what I was up to, that this will be the fourth article I’ve written for Littleport Life for which the phrase ‘lockdown learning’ could apply. I sincerely hope that we will be out of this soon, but, as I write this, in the throes of a cold and miserably wet January day, none of us know, as…

As I write this, school has been fully open since the start of this academic year which, after lockdown followed by the summer holidays is great- a long time coming! Understandably, prior to the new school year starting, there was a lot of concern about the impact of the lockdown on children- progress in their learning and in relation to their mental health. I can honestly say, the children have been fantastic! They have adjusted…

With the classrooms back at full capacity, the school environment now feels very much like it did at Littleport Community Primary School at this same point in 2019. The biggest differences are the safety routines we have in place to combat the spread of COVID-19. At the time of writing this, we have had children back in classrooms on a full time basis for 6 weeks and the school is full of smiles on the…

LECA – Update from Principal Scott Gaskins

Posted on 1st December 202021st December 2020 by Scott Gaskins

The academic year 2019/2020 will go down as the strangest in educational history. We started the year with such high hopes for Year 9, pushing on to choosing Options and then finishing the year ready to start their GCSEs. Then, on March 20th, we closed our doors and online/home learning started, and then slowly it became clear that we would not re-open until September; we wouldn’t see the majority of our students for six months!…
