For parents' information, all children can attend the faith tour in the autumn term of Year 5. This tour is based in Bedford and is externally organised. Children visit a mosque, a Gurdwara, and a church during it.  

We now have a multi-faith prayer space in school, where children can pray quietly or spend time reflecting and being still. They do this freely and are never directed or sent to do this. You will get to see this if you come along to the curriculum evening.  

Curriculum Evening

3:30 pm-5 pm on Wednesday, 27th November; this is a chance for you to walk around the school, meet the teachers and see what different subjects look like at Wilbury Junior School.

Agora ‘ Generously  spending time together ‘

On Monday, 25th November, all the schools in the Agora Trust will be celebrating generosity, as this is one of our trust values. Children will be taught that over Christmas time, we spend lots of money, waste lots of things, and consider making our Christmas more sustainable. Many of us can give a gift, which many of us like to have is people's time; this does not cost anything or waste resources, but spending time together is suitable for all involved.  You can read with your child on Wednesday during the curriculum event in the school library.

As a school class, we will be swapping stores with each other, along with other opportunities to give generously during break and lunchtime, such as litter picks, games with other children, and lunchtime with siblings and friends.
