As part of Ruyton tradition, on Thursday evening our Year 6 were able to celebrate their AMAZING SATs results by being put in the stocks and getting soaked by anyone willing to throw sponges or tip buckets!
This little fundraiser added over £140 to the Friends fundraising pot following the Garden Party last week. A huge thank you to everyone who supported the event and well done Year 6 for getting soaked!
As part of Geography learning but also PSHE in learning about the wider world, we have been exploring climate change: what it is and steps that can be taken to prevent it. There have been some brilliant pieces of work produced to reflect learning.
Every day this week we have been enjoying a different aspect of Arts Week 2026 where we have produced art linked to Bible Stories.
On Wednesday the children learned to sketch pencil portraits and produced these incredible drawings of a lion’s head in reflection of the story of Daniel and the Lion’s Den. What an amazing job they did!
A huge well done to all our Year 6 pupils who participated in their annual Bikeability training. Using their own bikes, the children practised training drills on the playground before going on to the main roads of Ruyton and learning to stay safe on the roads. Well done everyone!

Owl Class participated in the final Experience Church event of the year to start Summer Term with an exploration of “After Easter”. A big thank you to the volunteers from the Church group who, as ever, make the visit very enjoyable and informative!
Welcome back to school for Summer Term 2026 – we hope you all had a fun-filled and refreshing Easter break!
Summer term is always jam-packed and full of some of our favourite activities including Sports Day, St John the Baptist Day, Swimming lessons and all our summer sports events – keep up to date with the school diary and letters for more information. We’ve also got Arts Week, ‘No Pens Day’ and ‘Have Fun for Harry’ day coming up – just some of the things to look forward to!
Of course, it’s an important term for our Year 6. We will be really proud to see our Year 6 sit their SATs on the week commencing May 11th – they have already worked so hard. However, even more exciting will be all of the leavers celebrations that will then begin! Leavers trips, leavers speeches and celebration assemblies will soon be upon us (plus a summer of Year 6 insisting on wearing their leavers hoodies everyday, regardless of the weather!)
We can’t wait to get the term started! As always, information about learning in class this term can be found on the class information page (link Class Owls Information | St John The Baptist CE Primary School Ruyton XI Towns). We will also continue to welcome student teacher Miss Clarke who will continue her placement with us for the first half-term.
You can keep updated with our class shenanigans via the website notice board: Parents’ Area | St John The Baptist CE Primary School Ruyton XI Towns and also class notice board.
Here’s hoping for a sunny summer term ahead! We look forward to seeing you all this week,
Mrs Cook, Miss Whit, Mrs Grogan & Mrs Maund 🙂 x
