3rd place - Highnam Year 5 

Well done to all involved and keep up the good work!

Over 150 Primary QuEST pupils had a magical evening at the Young Voices concert in Birmingham on Friday evening. The pupils had been learning the songs since the autumn term and joined together with thousands of pupils to sing with one voice! We had a great team of helpers who supported the pupils on the night and we were able to share the experience with a number of parents, carers and family members. 

Thank you to Miss Marks and all of the school organisers for arranging this amazing trip for us!

Pupils from year 4 joined together for a week of activites at the Viney Hill Centre in November 2025. All schools in Primary QuEST took part. With the new cabins on site the centre were able to facilitate our schools across one week which was fantastic. It was great to see the friendships made at the Eastnor Geogrpahy day in the summer begin built on by the pupils.

Thank you to all of the PQ staff team for supporting the pupils on this adventure!

During the month of March, Primary QuEST hosted three oracy celebrations. It was wonderful to welcome along family and friends to here the pupils speak with such confidence and enthusiasm about their chosen subject. The judges had a very difficult time selecting the winners as the performances were so good, 

Thank you to all who came along to support the pupils - it was a memorable evening!

On the 18th November we welcome the Bishop of Gloucester to open the newly built fourth classroom at Redmarley C of E Primary Academy. The project as required due to the school numbers rising from 60 to over 100 pupils in the past few years. The new room will be for early years pupils. We were delighted that the project was completed on budget and on time. Thank you to all involved in making the room ready for pupils after half term. 

The pupils in year 4 from across Primary QuEST joined together for a mini-residential. During their adventure the pupils enjoyed archery, tunnelling, abseiling, bushcraft, low ropes, crate stacking, navigation and climbing. Whilst their the pupils spent time making new friends from another of the Primary QuEST schools. Thank you to all the staff who have supported the pupils over the past few years as the schools have joined together.

We have seen first hand the Primary QuEST vision in action: flourishing together through LIFE. 

We were thrilled to work with Darrell Wakelam over a week in May. Darrell worked with the PQ schools (and a few other local schools) to produce some stunning pieces of artwork. The pupils (and staff) had a fabulous time and the art work is on display in our schools - come in and have a look!

On Monday 13th May we held our year 3 annual visit to Eastnor Castle. This year the five Primary QuEST schools were joined by Tibberton Community School. It was lovely to see all the pupils working collaboratively throughout the day with pupils from the other schools.

The pupils enjoyed a tour of the castle, visit to the playground, a maze adventure, photomaps challenge and a scavenger hunt. My thanks to all the adults who came along to support the pupils on the day.

Pupils from Primary QuEST schools were joined by other local schools for a special year 3/4 STEM event. The event had a science, technology, engineering and maths event focus and the pupils enjoyed the varied challenges. The first challenge was to create a parachute out of the materials provided, next a maths shape teaser and finally a countdown number challenge. The pupils had a great time. A big thank you to Mr Tookey and Mr Walsh for organising the event.
