Welcome
Although I can tell you what I believe makes Astwood Bank so special, look at the school through the eyes of the people who make it what it is – our pupils, staff and parents.
Our aim is to offer all pupils a broad and stimulating curriculum that recognises the importance of providing pupils with the basic skills of literacy and numeracy. We want the children in our care to sparkle, to reach their full potential and learn skills for life through a creative curriculum. We hope they will look back fondly with treasured memories of their time at Astwood Bank Primary School.

🎃 ABPS SCARECROW TRAIL 🎃
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the annual Astwood Bank Scarecrow Trail 2026! We absolutely love seeing the village come alive with all sorts of spooky and sensational scarecrows made with such creativity and imagination 🤩
This year, look out for Astwood Bank Primary School’s ‘Hangry Caterpillar’, who perhaps may be hungry for something a little different this year… 🐛👻 🦋🍎🫣
Our newly-appointed School Council team did a great job of putting this together and hanging it outside the school for all to see 👏🏼 The whole school have been buzzing about it! We would love to get your vote this year, but most importantly, HAVE FUN! ✨ Hopefully nothing toooooOo spooooOky goes on whilst you’re wandering around… 🫣👻🎃
Did someone say HALF-TERM? 📣
Time to celebrate reaching the end of a successful first half-term with another viral challenge: The Digidi Digidi Dance 🎊
Another one for the rhythm, timings, and just a bit of fun! ✨
Happy Half Term to everyone! 💙
🌾 HARVEST SHOWCASE 🌾
And that’s a wrap on our Year 4 Harvest Showcase! 🌾🍂
After weeks of incredible hard work, the children absolutely shone today and did themselves so proud 🌟
We hope all the parents loved hearing their wonderful songs, expressive poems, and thoughtful prayers, as well as seeing all of their beautiful artwork on display 🎨🎶📝
We also loved seeing the Year 3’s fantastic dance - what excellent rhythm and timing! 🪗
And, of course, a huge well done to our expert chefs - hearing all about their class pumpkin soup making was a definite highlight, and we think it’s safe to say it was a massive success… 🎃🧑🍳✨
Thank you to all who have donated food to the school for Redditch Food Bank and thank you to everyone who came along to support the children and celebrate with us.
We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! 🤎
🪩 BILLIE JEAN CHALLENGE 🪩
In the spirit of Saturday night, here’s something a little upbeat 🕺✨ Our amazing Year 5s jumped onto the “Billie Jean” challenge hype, and they absolutely crushed it! 🎶🔥
While they thought they were just having a blast, they were secretly mastering:
* 🎯 Timing
* ⚖️ Balance & Coordination
* 🥁 Pure Rhythm
I think you’ll all agree, they took on the challenge and “Beat It”! 🎸👑 How do you think their moves stack up against yours, parents? 😉👇
🚲 BIKEABILITY🚲
Ready, steady, pedal! 🚴♂️✨
Last week, Year 5 had the best time levelling up their cycling skills with the Bikeability Crew 🚴
They took their first big steps toward cycling independence, from mastering the “M Check” to tackling situations they may get into on the real-world quiet roads, and they’ve learned the essential skills to ride safely and confidently. Huge well done to everyone who took part! 👏🎒
