WOW... The Walk to School Challenge is back!

October is International Walk to School Month, making it the perfect time to boost our daily steps and build healthy habits.

We are excited to relaunch WOW, the walk to school challenge. From Monday 5th October, every child who walks, wheels, cycles, or parks & strides (parking 5 minutes further away and walking the rest) at least twice a week for the whole month can earn an exclusive monthly badge made from recycled materials.

Although we understand it is not always possible for everyone to get involved all the time, choosing to walk, scoot, cycle or park & stride helps you to:
- start the day energized and ready to learn
- reduce congestion around the school gates for a safer, cleaner environment
- look after our planet by choosing active travel

We are thrilled to announce that Ladybarn has been officially awarded the Green Flag Award with Distinction for 2026–2027!

This incredible recognition highlights the hard work of our students, staff, and families in creating a greener, more sustainable school. We achieved this top honour by making an impact across three key areas: transport, biodiversity and waste.

A massive thank you to everyone who walked the extra mile, cleared a pond, built a bug hotel, planted a tree, picked litter, taught about green issues, or sorted their recycling. Let's keep the green momentum going.

Here’s a photo of some of our eco team celebrating the award in front of one of our brand new SuDSPod.

Kicking Off the New Term with Our Brand-New Active Uniform!

We are really excited for children to be wearing our new Active Uniform this new school year! With more movement in mind, our uniform now makes active starts to the day effortless, giving every child the freedom to run, play, and engage in daily movement without needing to change for daily PE. Children have a seamless transition from classroom learning to active outdoor play, with no PE kits to remember to bring in!

Let’s make this our healthiest, most active school year yet.

Today, as Lauren leaves Year 6, we are celebrating an incredible achievement: 100% attendance from Nursery all the way through to the end of primary school!

That’s over 7 years without missing a single day of school. No sick days, no skipped mornings, just pure dedication, resilience (and an amazing immune system).

What an amazing achievement! Well done, Lauren!

The end of June is Refugee Week and as a School of Sanctuary, we were keen to mark the occasion in school. A School of Sanctuary is a school that is committed to being a safe and welcoming place for those seeking sanctuary.

This year, we were lucky to participate in some online storytelling sessions hosted by authors, including Michael Rosen, with their own experiences of displacement due to conflict.

In addition, after a special assembly, a competition was launched to design a welcoming poster for refugees. There were so many amazing entries, especially from some classes, so it was very hard to choose winners! We even had some poems!

Winners:

Year 1: Aisha
Year 3: Leen, Zella
Year 4: Raghad, Mariam (special mention)
Year 6: Izzy

Well done to everyone who entered and those who won - it is so lovely to see so many compassionate and creative children in our school.

Some of our incredibly creative writers had a fantastic afternoon on Thursday. Thanks to their amazing enthusiasm in class this year, a group of students was chosen for a special workshop with local poet, Tom Stocks.

After an inspiring morning session in school, we hopped on the train at Mauldeth Road and headed to the new Piccadilly Station Community Garden. The children did a brilliant job writing words of affirmation and positivity-inspired poetry, physically "publishing" their work around the gardens for commuters to enjoy!

Here are some of the highlights of the afternoon.

This week, Ladybarn were the proud winners of the
Manchester Healthy Schools 2026 Excellence Award. The school won the award for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. We were commended for our work on diversity, anti racism and also being incredibly responsive to events nationally and internationally. At Ladybarn, we follow our PSHE principle, 'If it's wrong, call it out.' In addition, our SEN and EAL provision was highlighted as a strength, where all children are pushed to be the best they can with appropriate support in place. Our support for other schools with their Inclusion practice was also noted. We are so proud of all of our amazing staff and families!

This week, Year 1 enjoyed a wonderful, sunny walk to Withington Library. They discovered everything it has to offer and shared lots of fantastic books together. It was a great opportunity to inspire a love of reading and help the children become familiar with their local library. A huge thank you to the amazing family volunteers who joined us!
