News Whitehorse Manor Junior School

As you are hopefully aware, the deadline for applying for a secondary school for your child to attend in September 2025 is fast approaching. 

It is always hard to say goodbye to our leavers, and we all enjoy our leavers’ assembly and the range of certificates presented, from the final Gold Awards, to the class based ‘Most likely to…’ certificates which always tell us so much about how well the children and staff know and like each other. 

I suppose the only way to really present an assembly about a magical place was with a fully immersive, dare I say ‘magical’ experience. 

Our sports’ days at WHJUN were highlights of the year for children across the school.

The results are in! Children, teachers and sport coaches across the Pegasus Academy Trust worked hard in the lead up to the Croydon Sports Athletics Competition. 

Dear Pegasus families, We are delighted to share with you our ‘Recommended Reads’ for each year group from Nursery to Year Six. 

After weeks of training and practice, the WHJUN Athletics Team arrived at Croydon Sports Arena. 

It was lovely to be joined by Delores’s son, Tyrone, and daughter-in-law, Kirsty, to unveil a bench in memory of Delores at the front of the school. 

At the end of last week, Whitehorse Manor Juniors were host to the first Pegasus mixed-football tournament, with teams consisting of both boys and girls. 

Unsurprisingly, the action-packed activities and previous night’s excitement led to an early night’s sleep for all!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of visiting our children on the Year 6 residential trip to Cuffley Activity Camp. 

What an absolutely action-packed day at Cuffley! For some, the day before had ended a little too late due to the excitement of camping out in the woodland.

Year 6 arrived in high spirits after a quick journey into Hertfordshire.

The Pegasus Trust held their first ever Pegasus Trust Games.  Children from Year 5 and 6 were chosen from all the schools in our Trust to compete against each other. 

The inaugural Pegasus Trust Games has taken place with Ecclesbourne crowned champions.
