We've said goodbye to our Year 6 children in the usual Churchtown fashion. Our end of year leavers' service at St Helens Church was followed by the metre stick running ritual. We'll miss all the children over the Summer but are looking forward to starting afresh in September with lots of changes and improvements to the building taking place over the next six weeks.

In our Churchtown tradition of running under metre rulers we said goodbye to our wonderful Year 6 children today. It is always difficult to say goodbye as we will miss you all but know that you are…

The junior school play was an outstanding success! All the children were absolutely amazing in their roles, remembered their lines and sang their hearts out. It came together beautifully on the night. It really was an incredible performance and you should all be very proud of yourselves.

Class 3 had a wonderful visit to our local arts centre - The Level centre in Rowsley. We walked along the trail, had a picnic on the way at the steam train station and then spent time at the centre. The children loved the interactive display and then looked at some of the art by local artists. We then finished the afternoon by spending time in their lovely sensory garden 🌻🌺🌷

Well done to our super star footballers who won their last match 1-0 and have won their league this season! An amazing result for a small school and reflects every single player's determination to play their best in every match. We have had outstanding playing across the whole season and we are very proud of you. Well done Churchtown!
