The SATs are over, the plays are in full swing and the end of school celebrations have started, albeit with lessons still an important focus day-to-day. All 220 pupils from the schools were treated to a fun filled day of sports, games, activities, singing, arts and craft in the beautiful surroundings of Taunton school.
The children were welcomed to the auditorium for a welcome address before heading off to their rotational fun activities, before the ice cream van arrived to treat pupils to a delicious Mr Whippy in the sunshine. A picnic was enjoyed on the front lawn of the beautiful gothic Taunton School before the children were invited back into the auditorium for a group performance of their rehearsed ‘Together we can change the world’ song. There was were also perfrmances by each school and speeches from all Heads of School and Suzanne Flack, CEO of The Redstart Learning Partnership.
A spokesperson for The Redstart Learning Partnership said:

The children have worked so hard this year and have had a lot to contend with during their primary education due to covid restrictions. We are so proud of them all and we can not wait to see what their futures hold.
The Redstart Learning Partnership would like to thank Taunton School for offering their school for the day and for hosting the event. Our thanks also go to Bradfords Building Supplies, Hazelgrove Prep School, Hookways in Bristol and Edwards and Wards for their extremely generous and kind donations to make the day possible’.

They played sports and designed a beautiful collaborative canvas celebrating their memories at primary school. We are immensely proud of our pupils & we’ve all had an amazing day together, especially the ice cream!”

Priorswood Primary School – Welcome ENGIE to learn about construction site safety on the North Taunton Woolaway Project
The pupils and staff from Priorswood Primary School in Taunton (Part of The Redstart Learning Partnership) welcomed Engagement Lead Angela Bolitho from South West and Taunton Council (SWT) and Elaine Jones from ENGIE for a very special assembly to talk about the dangers of trespassing on building sites. The assembly included a presentation, video and a visit from the ENGIE Mascot! The children were delighted to meet ENGIE and after their visit Angela said:
"We had such a positive welcome into Priorswood Primary today by children and staff. All 3 of us were very impressed with how well behaved the children were, how well they listened, participated and took on board the important messages we were sharing about the dangers on building sites.”
Members of ENGIE and SWT are visiting a number of schools in Taunton with Priorswood being one of them. Following the assembly, children could enter a competition to design their own poster warning other children of the dangers of playing on building sites. Winning posters are likely to be displayed on the project site hoardings.
Priorswood Primary were delighted that three pupils from the school won with their poster entries and will be presented with a prize on Tuesday 05 April. Congratulations to Rhoda, Mia and William.
Carly Ellis, Head of Schools at Priorswood Primary said:
“With so much demolition and building work going on in the area, it was really important for us to welcome ENGIE and the team into Priorswood to share the dangers that surround the children on a daily basis. The children had a lot to say and were very receptive to the messages that were communicated”.
The North Taunton Woolaway Project is a large regeneration project which started in 2017. The major project will see the demolition and regeneration of 186 Woolaway homes and the additional building of 21 new build properties, due to be completed in 2027.
ENGIE is the main contractor appointed by Somerset West and Taunton Council to build homes in Phase A of the North Taunton Woolaway Project. As part of the project ENGIE are working closely with Somerset West & Taunton Council to ensure they are involved in initiatives in the local community.
A spokesperson for The Redstart Learning Partnership said:
“With such a major building project on the doorstep of Priorswood Primary School it’s crucial that our pupils learn the dangers of playing on building sites and follow these key messages. We were thrilled to hear that three of Priorswood pupils won the poster competition, congratulations to Rhoda, Mia and William and we hope to meet ENGIE soon”.
