  • Status Quo drummer visits Tannery Drift

    Published 20/09/24

    On Friday we welcomed former Status Quo drummer, Jeff Rich, into school for an amazing drumming workshop. Year 3 and 4 had such a fantastic morning learning all about drumming as well as getting the opportunity to try out a variety of percussion instruments.


    Afterwards Years 1-4 were treated to a special performance by Jeff, which was definitely a highlight of the morning. It was absolutely amazing to watch, and we are certain we have some budding drummers feeling inspired by the performance.
    This was followed by a session where Year 1 and 2 got to join in playing the instruments as well and everyone had a wonderful time creating rhythms together.


    Thank you to Miss Seymour for organising such a great experience for the children, and, of course, to Jeff, for such an amazing morning.


    Jeff loved the enthusiasm of the children and left us this message:
    “What fantastic children! They all sat and listened extremely well...a credit to the school”.

  • Year 4 PGL Trip

    Published 24/05/24

    From the 15th to the 17th May, Year 4 students from Tannery Drift First School embarked on a fun-packed residential trip to Caythorpe Court in Lincolnshire. During their visit they threw themselves into the activities come rain or shine, including zip-lining, high ropes activities, giant swing, orienteering, archery, fencing and survival skills. Some of the activities required the children to challenge themselves by trying things that they hadn’t done before, Emilija said, ‘So many of us faced our fears’, this included the staff who also joined in with the activities, some of which took place at height!

    The children were a credit to themselves and the school, and it was a wonderful way to develop their confidence and foster independence ahead of the transition to their new schools in September.  

    The children had a wonderful time, with Omar commenting that ‘We had the best time ever at PGL and want to go back already.’

    Having heard all about the trip, children in Year 3 are already excited for their visit next year!
