Croft wins the Small Schools Debate – Monday 6th March 2023
Croft wins the Small Schools Debate
This week Year 6 took part in the biannual small schools debating competition organised by the Rotary Club. Our two main speakers were Blake and Poppy who did a fantastic arguing for and against the statement: 'Winning is the only reason to take part'. They were judged to be the best debaters and brought the trophy home to Croft (3 wins in a row now). The whole of Year 6 did a fantastic job in writing and asking questions which also counted towards our victory.
Children arrived on Monday to find the playground transformed into a magical Winter Wonderland.
Friends of the School worked hard over the weekend to create this fantastic scene. 
Rishi Sunak MP and Chancellor for the Exchequer, cuts the ribbon on the new climbing frame in Early Years.
Mr Sunak performed the official opening of the new climbing frame installed in our Early Years outdoor area.
Some of our children had the opportunity to perform for him and ask questions. The children thoroughly enjoyed the occasion and it was a superb chance to meet a member of parliament. These are some of their comments: ‘…this experience was phenomenal. Then we got to sing our school song and he was cheering at the end!’ Finlay ‘I had no idea he would be so friendly.’ Felicity ‘He said, before he left, those words ‘aspire, believe, achieve’ are so catchy!’ Evelyn ‘Thank you Mr Sunak for coming to Croft School.’ Kitty ‘I realised that he is a normal person with a warm smile and a big heart.’ Amelie
