St Crispin’s on STV!


We are incredibly proud of our wonderful chef, Nicky, and our Mouse Class pupils after they were shown on STV News last night! Watch the clip above to see our starring moment on the 6pm news, featuring award-winning Nicky and some of our pupils choosing their favourite lunchtime options.

Congratulations to all involved – and what a lovely way for our school to be celebrated on the TV!

Parkour at St Crispin’s

The spotlight has been shining on our talented pupils again, as well as our PE Teacher, Rory, as he has just had his article featured in TES Magazine. In it, he details the positive impact delivering lessons in Parkour has had on our pupils.

Well done to Rory for always helping our pupils excel in new ways, as well as writing a lovely article that opens up about how important movement is for our students! Congratulations are also in order for Otter Class who gained some new skills whilst having a blast. And you can see just how much fun our pupils had in the photographs below…

Mouse Class Get Musical!

Our incredibly talented pupils in Mouse Class have been having regular sessions with Katie Davies from Drake Music in order to produce their very own song! Titled I’m Alive, this feel-good song is written by the pupils as they share some of their favourite things to do to feel good. Our Mouse musicians are also responsible for the vocals and instrumentals featured on the tune! Visit the Drake Music website to see the amazing work they do – featuring our very own maestros on the homepage.

Well done, Mouse Class!

Our Day at the Zoo!

In March, St Crispin’s were very kindly invited to have a trip to Edinburgh Zoo! This visit was courtesy of the RZSS’s Bursary-funded excursion pilot programme, in partnership with TalkTalk, which allowed all of our pupils to have this wonderful day out. Some pupils even took part in animal handling sessions with an array of weird and wonderful insects! Everybody had a very fun and memorable day; made extra-special by the glorious weather we had for the occasion.

In amongst all the fun and exploration, we managed to get some snaps of our pupils immersing themselves in this unique and enjoyable trip. The Edinburgh Zoo team also very kindly gave all our pupils a lovely figurine to take home as a souvenir – each pupil was given the choice of a panda or a giraffe to remember their special visit!

We would like to say a massive thank you to the Edinburgh Zoo and TalkTalk for allowing us this opportunity – all our pupils and staff thoroughly enjoyed it. And you can see for yourself just how much fun we had…
