Regional Finalist!
We are incredibly proud to share that Good Shepherd Year 5 has been named a regional finalist in a nationwide Frozen sing-along competition, celebrating the launch of the World of Frozen at Disneyland Paris!
Chosen from over 10,000 schools, our pupils impressed judges with their joyful performance of Let It Go, showcasing fantastic teamwork and school spirit. As one of just 12 regional finalists, their entry is now being judged by a panel including Katherine Jenkins OBE. The winning school will earn the chance to perform live at Disneyland Paris! What a magical achievement for our Year 5 children and our school community!
World Book Day
What an achievement! ✨📚
As part of our lead‑up to World Book Day 2026, our children took part in our Sponsored Read—and thanks to your support, and our partnership with Usborne Books, we’ll be receiving even more great books for the school. We really appreciate our wonderful community. 💛
On World Book Day, the children came in wearing their favourite costumes, which brought so much fun and excitement to the school. 🌟
They also created their own favourite‑character book bags, showing fantastic creativity through their drawings, writing, and designs. 🎒📖
A lovely celebration of reading and imagination across the school.
