• U11's Girls Football latest fixture...

  Tue 05 May 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  Our U11s girls’ football team put in a fantastic performance yesterday after school in their quarter-final cup match against Heath Primary School. The team showed great determination, teamwork and sportsmanship throughout the game.

  It was a closely contested match, with strong defending and some excellent attacking play on display. The girls worked hard for each other, supporting and encouraging their teammates from start to finish. Unfortunately, we were unable to break through the Heath defence and the match ended 1–0 to Heath.

  We are incredibly proud of the Bramford girls’ team for their effort, resilience and positive attitude throughout their Cup run.  Well done Girls!

  The season is not quite over yet, as the girls still have one more league match to play against our federation school, Somersham. So watch this space!

• Magpies and their careers

  Tue 05 May 2026 Mrs Sawyer

• Tortoises exploration of the outside world!

  Wed 29 Apr 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  Tortoises Class have been busy exploring the amazing world of life cycles and living organisms, diving into how plants and animals grow, change and thrive. The children have been investigating everything from tiny seeds to fully grown creatures, asking thoughtful questions and making careful observations along the way.

  As part of their learning, they have also planted their own sunflowers, taking responsibility for watering, monitoring growth and recording changes over time. It’s been a brilliant hands‑on experience that has helped them see the science of life cycles come alive right in our school environment. 

  

• Crocs Country Sporting Event 2026

  Thu 26 Mar 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  Despite a chilly, windy day with a sudden downpour, our runners showed incredible enthusiasm and determination at the stunning Royal Hospital School venue!

  The team spirit was outstanding—cheering each other on at both the start and finish lines, creating an electric atmosphere despite the cold and waiting times. Some of our runners breezed through their races with ease, while others showed remarkable resilience, pushing through every challenge to cross the finish line.

  A huge well done to everyone who took part—you truly made this exciting event one to remember! 

  A special thank you to Mrs Harden, Mrs Robinson, and Mrs Stollery for organising the children throughout the afternoon, and to all parents and carers for transporting, supporting, hydrating and congratulating all of our Year 4, 5 and 6 runners.

• U11s Girls and Boys Match Report

  Wed 18 Mar 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  Both our U11s teams were in action yesterday afternoon at home in one of our last league games this year against Morland Primary. The girls kicked things off and, as always, put in a fantastic performance.

  From the first whistle, the Bramford girls showed great energy, teamwork, and determination. They worked tirelessly for each other and never stopped giving their best throughout the match.

  Despite their efforts, they came up against a very strong Morland Primary side and the game finished 6–1. While the result didn’t go our way, the attitude and commitment shown by every player was outstanding.

  Next, it was the turn of the boys, whose game started at a fast pace and continued that way throughout.

  The first half was closely contested, with both teams battling hard and creating chances, but neither side was able to break the deadlock, making it 0–0 at half-time.

  It wasn’t until the second half that Morland managed to find the back of the Bramford net. However, the Bramford boys showed great resilience and determination, refusing to give up. They continued to work hard as a team, supporting one another across the pitch.

  Their efforts were rewarded with a well-deserved equaliser — a great goal — and they went on to create several more chances, coming close to taking the lead.

   

  The boys’ league match finished 1–1, a fair result in a competitive and exciting game.

  Both teams never gave up and continued to support one another right to the final whistle — a real credit to themselves and the school.

  We now look forward to our next matches after the Easter break.

  Well done, Bramford footballers, parent and carer supporters and Mr Vickers who refereed both matches today — you are ACE! 

• 🏅 Year 2 Pupils Enjoy School Games Fun Event

  Wed 18 Mar 2026 Mrs Sawyer

   On Friday, some of our younger children had the opportunity to take part in a School Games Fun Sporting Event – the KS1 Panathlon. A group of our Year 2 Hedgehogs and Hares were invited to showcase their sporting abilities across a range of fun activities designed to develop their skills.

  The children were split into two teams and each one was determined to do their very best, proudly showing just how ACE they are while competing alongside other schools. One of our teams achieved an excellent Bronze place, while the other brought home the Gold trophy and a framed certificate! This is the second year running that Bramford has won this event!

  We were incredibly proud of the children and the way they represented our school throughout the event. The organisers even commented on how well-mannered our Bramford children were, which made the day even more special.

  A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who supported from the balcony and helped transport our children to and from the event, and to Mrs Harden, who enjoyed the afternoon alongside the children supporting the teams through it all.

  Well done to all the children who took part and represented our school so brilliantly!

  

• U11 Girls Shine in League Victory

  Fri 13 Mar 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  On Thursday, our fantastic U11s Girls’ football team played their next league match against Clifford Road Primary School.

  As we have come to expect, the girls demonstrated ACE teamwork throughout the game — encouraging one another, working hard and playing with smiles on their faces. The colder weather did nothing to deter their determination and impressive work ethic.

  It was a strong performance against a very organised team, resulting in a well-deserved 3–0 victory!

  An ACE team performance from start to finish. The girls should be incredibly proud of their effort, resilience and sportsmanship.

  As always, a huge thank you to the girls’ parents for their continued support — cheering from the sidelines — and to Mr Vickers for giving his time and expertise to help the girls perform at their very best.

• Tortoise's Learning update...

  Fri 13 Mar 2026 Mrs Sawyer

  Tortoises have been working on Solar System interpretive dances. We have used a variety of music such as Run boy run - Woodkid, a Sky full of stars - Coldplay and a million dreams from the Greatest Showman.
  The children have thought about different aspects of Space from recent learning in the classroom to create a dance. They have thought about elements of dance such as levels, control, space awareness and dynamics.
