The children have worked incredibly hard learning their songs, and it was wonderful to see everything come together so beautifully. We hope everyone enjoyed the parent–child session, especially making the festive hats together — please do let us know if you create any more at home!
Tesco chose Herringham to be the recipient of their Tree Giving initiative this year, where members of the public would collect a star from their tree and then purchase a gift for a child.
Heartfelt thank you to those who donated a gift and to Tesco for choosing us!
The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the sponsored run with Santa. They ran enthusiastically around the playground, full of excitement and festive cheer. After completing the run, the children were delighted to join Santa for a fun-filled dance, making the experience even more memorable and enjoyable for everyone.
A huge well done to our incredible teams who achieved 1st and 2nd place this week! 🥇🥈
Congratulations to our boys’ team, who will now be representing Thurrock at the County Finals!

Curiosity, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Communication were at the heart of our immersive full-day experience exploring the life of Florence Nightingale. Pupils asked thoughtful questions, took on roles and scenarios with imagination, analysed the challenges Florence faced, and shared their ideas clearly throughout the day. This rich, hands-on experience helped bring history to life and deepened their understanding in a truly engaging way.
Reception enjoyed a sunny walk to the library. They enjoyed learning all about the library and exploring the books. They enjoyed the story Supertato that was read to them with great enthusiasm. The parents and grandparents were a fantastic help, thank you.
A superb all-round performance today — great energy, slick passing, and some brilliant team goals. Dominant from start to finish, and another big win keeps us top of the table!
During the October half-term, the children were assigned family projects to complete over the break. Here are some of the fantastic outcomes from each year group. Well done to everyone who took part!
We had a fantastic time on our trip to Barleylands! The children were brilliant ambassadors for the school and learned so much about where our food comes from.
The morning was all about becoming master pizza makers. We discovered exactly how wheat becomes flour, before getting hands-on. The children loved kneading their own dough and topping their pizzas. Just look at those masterpieces—they looked (and smelled!) absolutely delicious.
After a much-needed lunch, we went on a very bumpy but exciting tractor ride around the fields! We finished the day walking around the farm, meeting, greeting, and feeding lots of different animals. The goats and sheep were definitely hungry!
We had a fantastic time at the recent Year 2 family workshop, where children and families came together to explore healthy eating and hands-on food preparation. It was wonderful to see the children confidently cutting, grating, peeling, and mixing a variety of fresh ingredients to create their own delicious couscous dishes.
The pupils showed a lot of resilience during their trip at Grangewaters. They worked hard rowing whilst taking part in the water sports. On the climbing walls, each time the pupils climbed they were asked to go higher than before. Many rose to this challenge. Well done!
