What a wonderful week celebrating stories at St Wystan’s School!
From our cosy Pyjamas & Pages Day, where pupils arrived in their PJs with a favourite book and helped raise funds for our 100 Year Story Space & Library Transformation Project, to a spectacular World Book Day filled with creative, ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ costumes and a colourful whole-School parade — reading has truly been at the heart of School life.
Alongside this, pupils received their £1 World Book Day tokens to spend at participating booksellers, and our Book Swap Shop (4th–6th March) gave pre-loved books a new home, with all proceeds supporting our library transformation.
Stories shared. Costumes created. Books swapped.
Reading celebrated.

We loved welcoming so many visitors to celebrate 100 years of St Wystan’s ✨📚
It was fantastic to see past pupils, former and current staff, and parents all coming together. One of the highlights was watching our current staff meet past pupils who started at the school over 60 years ago and later returned as parents themselves!
We were also gifted some amazing pieces of history, including old newsletters, invoices and registers, which will now become treasured additions to our school archives. It was great to welcome members of the Repton Historical Society too, who came along to learn more about the rich history of our beautiful building.
The evening was full of great conversations, wonderful memories, stories about where our past pupils are now, and even a look at some never-before-seen photographs.
Thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it such a special celebration of our school community, past and present 💙

✨Day in Our Lives✨
Come with Henry and Ottilie for a day at St Wystan’s School. In Year 4, Henry focused on improving his skills at factors and detailed art sketches as well as enjoying break playing football with his friends. Ottilie’s favourite time of the day is break time but she also enjoys painting and making binoculars with her friends in reception✨📚🏃♀️

Thank you so much for your support with building our library with books the pupils have chosen.
Last week, Prep took part in their annual House Cross Country competition! The course was wet and muddy and the conditions were perfect for a cross country morning!
Congratulations to all Prep pupils who ran for their houses with grit and determination. The support you all showed towards one another was a true reflection of the ethos we instill at St Wystan’s! A huge well done to this year’s winner... Eagle House!

We had a fantastic time celebrating NSPCC Number Day recently! Dressed up in fabulous number-themed outfits, we enjoyed a full day of puzzles and problems.
Thank you to Miss Dunn for all of your planning, and to our school community for raising money for such a vital organisation.
