It has been a pleasure to see the children’s ideas come to life — from their suggestions shared in the summer term such as comfy seating, calm areas, books about animals, more reading clubs, and a space to relax, chill out and get lost in a book, to helping design and put those ideas together.

We truly hope our new library will be a welcoming place for all of our children to enjoy for many years to come. 📚✨

Mrs Cordon, Miss Jones and Mr Whiston have had a fantastic two days at the BETT 2026 Conference in London!

We spent time exploring exciting new technologies, discovering the latest developments in AI, and looking at innovative tools we can bring back to school to further enhance our curriculum and strengthen our core offer for the children at HSL.

The experience was brilliant and made even better by winning a free subscription to a library book system for our new library 📚 — an amazing bonus that will benefit our whole school community.

We’re looking forward to putting these ideas into action!

🎉 Celebrating Sir Stanley Matthews Day –  Friday 30th January 2026 ⚽

This year at Hanley St Luke’s, we are proud to celebrate Sir Stanley Matthews Day, honoring one of our most famous former pupils! Sir Stanley was not only a legendary footballer but also an inspiring role model, remembered for his dedication, sportsmanship, and perseverance.

Our pupils will take part in fun and engaging activities led by our PE Ambassadors, with each year group focusing on a special theme:

• EYFS: The Joy of Movement and Play

• Year 1: Health and Nutrition

• Year 2: Teamwork

• Year 3: Resilience

• Year 4: Leadership

• Year 5: Innovation

• Year 6: Life-long Learning

The day is all about celebrating Sir Stanley’s achievements, getting active, and learning from the values he stood for. We can’t wait to see our pupils having fun, staying active, and being inspired by a true Hanley St Luke’s legend!
