James' Exciting Navy Trip!

Navy-mad James wrote to the First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir George Zambellas, to ask if he could attend the naming ceremony of the new aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth in Scotland. Unfortunately all the tickets for the event had gone, so Admiral Zambellas arranged for a personal tour of Type 45 destroyer HMS Dauntless in Portsmouth instead. James was taken to every part of the ship including the hangar, bridge and flight deck. He also enjoyed a glass of squash in the wardroom with officers and climbed into the captain’s chair on the bridge. Such an exciting day - well done James! Click here to see the full story.

Farewell Year 6!

At the end of another very busy year at Silverhill we say so long and farewell to our brilliant Year 6 pupils who now move on to pastures new. After working exceptionally hard and achieving brilliant SAT's results the whole school lined the playground to clap the children out towards their parents. Well done Year 6 - you made us very proud, good bye and good luck to you all! Have a wonderful summer everyone!

Good luck Miss Ralph and Miss Vincent!

Lots of goodbye and good luck wishes from the end of term! We wish Miss Ralph a wonderful time as she sets off on her travels around the world. We hope she has an amazing time and remembers to send us a postcard! Good luck to Miss Vincent on her wedding day; we hope the sun shines for you and you enjoy every happiness in your married life as Mrs Winfield!
