I love the playground and running with my friends. I love learning labs. There are always lots of fun activities like painting butterflies, making a rocket and lots of maths and numbers. I love school!

Stories from our community
It has been a fantastic week celebrating Black History Month. The children were particularly engaged with the BHM puppet show which gave them an insight into important black figures in history. The workshops and assemblies were highly engaging. #BHM2024 pic.twitter.com/3SsDUuVuNP— Gonville Academy (@gonvilleacademy) October 18, 2024
