********SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER 2026*********
We hope you have an amazing summer making memories and having fun!
See you all in September feeling fresh and ready for another awesome year!

A last little post from me...
Thank you so much to everyone for the support, kindness and generosity you have shown me today and throughout the year(s)! What a fabulous last day it's been and it's all thanks to these wonderful children (and of course their amazing adults!)
It was lovely to sing in with the whole school in church at Mass this morning. I've loved seeing all the children I've taught in previous years this afternoon - thank you for all the hugs and kind words. My chapter may be closing at BSW, but as I hate goodbyes... this is a see you later!
From the bottom of my heart - thank you and I hope you all have the best summer! Mrs Head 😀❤️

Year 1 DT - Fruit Salad 🍎🍊🍌🍇🍓🫐🥝🍍
This afternoon the children have been making their fruit salads as part of their final DT project. They used different skills to prepare their healthy snack such as peeling, chopping and cutting. They then arranged their fruit on a plate. But the best part of it was... getting to eat it afterwards! Well done, Year 1!

Phonics Screening Check

A huge well done to our Year 1s & our Year 2 re-sits on their fantastic effort during the Phonics Screening Check! ⭐️I'm so proud of the dedication, enthusiasm and perseverance that each and every one has demonstrated this week! All of their hard work has paid off and I was amazed by their confidence during the checks.
You are all superstars! 🌟

💙 Come and make a difference every day.

This week we saw our Year 5 pupils head off on their residential visit to Hatfield Moors. They enjoyed a range of exciting activities, including rock climbing, paddle boarding, zip wire over the lake and campfires. It was a wonderful opportunity for them to challenge themselves, build confidence and create lasting memories with their friends.
Huge thank you to all the staff who made this happen, especially Mrs McConnell. They all deserve a well-earned rest!

*Year 1 trip to Conisbrough Castle*
Year 1 have had a fantastic day at Conisbrough Castle today. We enjoyed our Meet the Medievals workshop where we learned about the history of the castle, the people who lived there and made a timeline to show how old the castle is. We also got involved in some role-play to welcome our King to the castle (more photos to follow!) This afternoon, we explored the castle grounds and climbed to the very top of the tower! The children were wonderful and an absolute credit to BSW! 🏰

Year 1 Forest School
Who likes muddy puddles!? Year 1 like muddy puddles!
It is safe to say that the children had a blast during their last forest school session and they have amazed me with how they get stuck into any activity. They were to free to explore and have undertaken activities such as wand making, creating their own potions, investigating the pool and looking for the tadpoles, going on a bug hunt and last (but definitely not least!!) taking a mud bath. 🤎

Good luck to all of our Year 6 children this week during your SATs. We know how hard you have worked to get to this point, but remember these tests are just one small part of your journey. Your resilience, determination and positive attitude have shone through every step of the way — now it’s your time to shine.
Stay calm, believe in yourselves and do your very best. We are all incredibly proud of you already. 🌟
