Storytime ✨📖 is a big part of the Kindergarten curriculum and encouraging a love of books from an early age is a core part of what we do. This World Book Day, we asked our Kindergarten children about their favourite stories and it was fantastic to see their enthusiasm shine through in their answers.
Our wonderful Kindergarten teachers shared their favourite tales too!
We enjoyed a fantastic Open Morning across the Loughborough Schools Foundation campus on Saturday! Thank you to all those who joined us, it was wonderful to share our vibrant community with you🌷

With lots of workshops throughout the day, we let our imaginations run wild by learning all about how to write stories, visualise characters and express our creativity!
Celebrating creativity ✨
@lborofairfield pupils have been taking part in the ISEB and IAPS Time to Write 2026 competition, using the theme `Thread` to prompt their creative thinking and storytelling skills. The Year 5 pupils involved have been attending weekly extension creative writing sessions to complete their entries and our showcase event spotlighted their hard work.
To further celebrate their efforts within our wider Foundation, we partnered with @lborohigh to run an internal version of the competition. All stories were read and judged by the English Subject Ambassadors at LHS, alongside the Head of English, Ms. Bancroft. The Ambassadors, who are Year 12 A Level English students, kindly provided individual feedback for every entrant and have shown great enthusiasm for supporting and promoting creative writing.

2026 is the National Year of Reading, which is a UK-wide campaign designed to inspire more people to make reading a regular part of their lives.

Something to improve your Monday mood 🐾💛
On Wednesday afternoon last week, our Reception and Kindergarten children had the most heart-melting surprise — a staff member brought in nine 7-week-old 🐶 Golden Retriever puppies! The children were able to gently interact with the puppies, learning about kindness, responsibility, and how to care for animals.
There were smiles, cuddles, and plenty of wagging tails all around. A truly unforgettable experience! ✨🐾
