Our children enjoyed a fabulous Christmas lunch, a delightful occasion that truly brought students and staff together. Everyone savoured a delicious meal served by our dedicated staff, and it was wonderful to see so many children and staff dressed in festive attire for the celebration.

We were absolutely delighted to welcome parents to our recent RockSteady concert, where our talented students showcased their incredible musical skills. Thank you for joining us in celebrating their hard work and passion for music!

Our KS2 students filled St Mary’s Church with their voices, performing traditional Christmas carols that truly resonated with the festive atmosphere. The joy and enthusiasm of our young singers created a heartwarming experience for all attendees, celebrating the spirit of the season together. It was a delightful occasion that brought our community closer, showcasing the talent and dedication of our students.

The festive season is in full swing at Rucstall. Our KS1 students shone brightly in their Nativity performance, wowing us with their fantastic acting and singing. It was a celebration that truly captured the spirit of Christmas. Well done everyone!

Reverend Tom visited Rucstall this week to talk to the children about the story of the Calming of the Storm. The children learnt about how we can show our thankfulness to those who help us when we find things hard. They also learnt about how we can look to help others who might be finding things hard.

Throughout the year, each child earns house points for their house team: Red Phoenix; Blue Centaur; Green Dragon and Yellow Unicorn. As a reward for their excellent efforts last half term and for winning the house team rewards, the House Captains from Red House Team (Red Phoenix) chose a non-uniform day for their house. Students in Red House Team wore non-uniform clothing, with many wearing red to celebrate their team’s success.
