• Bramford U11s Football League Opener vs Holbrook Primary

  Thu 13 Nov 2025 Mrs Sawyer

  Both our U11s Girls and Boys teams kicked off their league campaigns this Thursday afternoon against Holbrook Primary, showing great enthusiasm, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout.
  
  The U11 Boys worked tirelessly in what proved to be a tightly contested game. Despite creating some strong attacking chances, they were unfortunate not to find the back of the net. As the light began to fade late in the match, Holbrook managed to secure two goals, ending the game 2–0 in Holbrook’s favour. The boys should be proud of their determination and effort in this first outing of the season.
  
  Meanwhile, the U11 Girls started their league journey in spectacular fashion, demonstrating excellent passing, communication, and finishing skills. Their hard work paid off in a commanding 10–0 victory over Holbrook. Every player contributed to a strong team performance, setting an exciting tone for the rest of the season.
  
  Well done to both teams for representing Bramford with such energy, teamwork, and sportsmanship. We look forward to seeing how both squads continue to grow and develop as the season progresses!

• Remembrance Service 2025

  Tue 11 Nov 2025 Mrs Sawyer

  Our school community came together with parents and friends for a special Remembrance Service at St. Mary’s Church.  The children showed respect and took part beautifully, listening carefully to our readers, sang hymns with pride and laid their class wreaths to honour those who bravely served and sacrificed for others. It was a thoughtful and meaningful occasion, bringing our whole community together to remember with gratitude and hope.

  

• Football Festivals!👣⚽

  Mon 16 Jun 2025 Mrs Ross

  There were two football festivals we attended. A festival for our U7 children and one for our U10 girls team.

  Both afternoons were a joy to attend as a Bramford staff member.  Every pupil represented themselves and Bramford beautifully. All players worked as a team, demonstrated fantastic team spirit and for some who had never played football, courage and determination but most of all they all had fun! Our U10s girls drew two of their matches and won two! Thank you to Mr Vickers who gave up his time to support the two teams and the kind adults who also gave up their time to transport the children to ITFC. Well done to all who participated for being ACE!

  

• Reception Jimmy's Farm trip! 🐷

  Mon 16 Jun 2025 Mrs Ross

  Woodpeckers and Foxes enjoyed a very sunny first school trip to Jimmy's Farm.

  After a morning learning about the 'Animals ABC', we took some much needed shade in the woodland and put our Forest School skills to good use with some expert den building. 

  

• U11s semi final cup match ⚽

  U11s semi final cup match

  Yesterday afternoon our U11 boys Football Team played their semi final cup match game against 'St Mark's Primary'.

   

  Our opponents today were skilled and competent opponents.  St Mark's team opened the scoring with a confident first goal; with a second St Mark's goal not long after.  It was difficult for our team to penetrate their defence in the first half and frustration was on the faces of our team.  At half time the Bramford boys were encouraged and reminded to play as a team. 

  The game became pacier with our players stepping up their game to match their opponents.  It was then that the breakthrough happened.  Linked play and  perseverance to hold possession of the ball meant chances opened up to us.  With three amazingly ACE Bramford goals scored consecutively, the possession in the second half was very much ours but not without the Bramford defence and goalkeeper having to work extremely hard to keep out some amazingly close near misses too.  The winning goal was scored in the final couple of minutes of the game securing our place in the cup FINALS!    The match ended with a triumphant final score of...3:2...to Bramford!   The team thoroughly deserved this win.

   

  As always, thank you to all the parents who spectated.  Mr Vickers and Mrs Harvey, thank you for your time, dedicated coaching and words of encouragement from the sideline. 

   

  As a school we are VERY proud of the way the boys performed as a team.  We wait with excitement as to the team we will play in the FINAL and where the match venue will be.

  You are ACE! We have ended the season with three consecutive wins!

  Hedgehogs share morning 🦔🌈

  Hedgehogs had a lovely morning sharing their learning with their parents. They enjoyed using their ICT skills to find the 54 countries in Africa, making play dough continents, making African necklaces, reading African stories and unscrambling African animal names. Thank you to all who came, we loved having you!

  

• Tortilla making! 🌮

  Tortilla making! 🌮

  Today we continued our learning about the Maya civilisation and linked this to DT/cooking. The Maya people grew and ate corn or maize. They even worshipped a maize god. We looked at pictures of maize / corn on the cob, handled dried corn kernels, tasted tinned sweetcorn and made our own tortillas using corn meal, olive oil, salt and water. I was impressed with how well the children taught each other how to make the tortillas and how sensible and safe they were while cooking.

  

• Sun safe assembly 😎🌞

  Sun safe assembly 😎🌞

  We had a special assembly yesterday which was delivered by a special visitor from cancer support, Suffolk. They came in to educate us all about staying safe in the sun. We discussed wearing protective clothing, wearing factor 50 sun cream, remembering our sun glasses, staying hydrated and seeking shade. We all listened beautifully and learnt some new things about protecting ourselves from the sun. Some of the adults were surprised to hear that some suncreams have to be used within 12 months!

   

  I wonder how many of the children came home to talk to you about the following sun safe rules:

   

  Slip on a shirt, Slop on the 30+ sunscreen, Slap on a hat, Seek shade, Slide on some sunglasses.
