The Summer Fair 2026 was a great success, with many activities and stalls that brought joy to both children and parents. We are delighted to report that we raised an incredible £2,000 which will go directly towards supporting the well-being of our children here at Minet Junior School. The weather was perfect, and the day was truly beautiful. Parents and children enjoyed walking around the stalls, engaging in fun activities, and spending quality time together. It was a lovely day filled with laughter and community spirit.

Day One

Along with seven other schools, our Choir performed at the Beck Theatre on 1^st July.

We were delighted to welcome Paralympian Kylie Grimes to our school for a truly inspiring day of sport and motivation.
Kylie, who represented Great Britain in wheelchair rugby at the Tokyo Paralympic Games, delivered a fantastic assembly where she shared her journey to becoming an elite athlete. She spoke about the importance of determination, resilience, teamwork and never giving up on your dreams, inspiring all of our pupils to believe in themselves and strive to achieve their goals.
Following the assembly, the children took part in a sponsored fitness circuit, giving everyone the opportunity to challenge themselves while raising money for our school. The pupils showed great enthusiasm, perseverance and encouragement towards one another throughout the event, making it a fun and memorable experience for all.

Last week, our school joined in with My Money Week, which is all about helping children learn how to handle money with confidence.

Last week, the year 6 children participated in a trio of workshops to kick-start their transition to high school.
