Month: November 2023

On Monday, Form 5 celebrated Ancient Greek Day, which was an exciting opportunity to immerse ourselves in the rich history and culture of ancient Greece. Dressed as gods, goddesses and soldiers, we brought mythological creatures to life while exploring key aspects of Greek knowledge and tradition.

On Saturday morning, our Prep Choir filled St Wystan’s Church with festive melodies during a wonderful carol singing event. It was a fabulous way to connect with our community and share the joy of Christmas.



A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and supported this special occasion!

This week was a chance to celebrate all things to do with numbers and shapes! In every classroom, there was a buzz in the air as they were challenged to use their knowledge to solve a fabulous range of puzzles and brain teasers. From thinking about types of triangles to helping Pudsey with some coin challenges, the pupils enjoyed stretching their brains and aiming high!

The whole school supported Pudsey on Friday by dressing in yellow and something spotty. Thank you for the donations to this wonderful cause!



We would also like to give a special mention to a past pupil, Matthew Humphreys, who took part in the BBC Rickshaw Challenge in 2014. Matthew left SWS in 2009 but has since been in touch to share his newly published book!

St Wystan’s School proudly took part in the village Remembrance Parade on Sunday. Our pupils showed great respect as they joined the community in honouring those who have served and sacrificed. We are incredibly proud of their thoughtful participation in this important tradition.

This week we rocked our odd socks to celebrate what makes each of us unique - because difference is powerful and kindness is cool!



This year’s Anti-Bullying Week theme is ‘The Power for Good’, and we’re showing what a difference we can make if we are kind, include others and speak up.



At St Wystan’s we stand together to say NO to bullying and YES to celebrating individuality.

We had a blast making leaf fireworks, mixing our own mud, and sliding down the mud pile! Our free toddler sessions are always full of laughter and excitement.




Keep an eye out for our next Christmas-themed toddler adventure!

Our Harvest Festival was a wonderful celebration of gratitude and giving 🌾💛

Pupils shared harvest fun facts, performed musical pieces, and presented generous food donations to South Derbyshire CVS, all within the beautiful setting of St Wystan’s Church.

100% of our Year 6 Leavers secured places at their first-choice senior schools.

We are also delighted to celebrate the success of a number of those pupils who have been awarded scholarships alongside their offers. Their achievements reflect the dedication, talent and ambition nurtured here at St Wystan`s.
