Ribchester St Wilfrid's C of E Primary School

🌟 What a wonderful afternoon! 🌟

We had such a fantastic time at our Fathers’ and Loved Ones’ Afternoon Tea today. The turnout was amazing, and it was so lovely to see so many dads and special people joining us in school.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported the event – it really made it such a special occasion for the children 💛

We are so proud of these children for earning a Head Teacher Award or a Values Award! Our school Christian value this half term is 'thankfulness' and the children have truly shown how wonderful, and thankful, they are in all they do.
Well done!

We are so proud of these amazing children! 🌟

Their hard work, dedication and true love of learning shines through every day.

Our Values Award winners have been consistently demonstrating our school value of Thankfulness – showing appreciation, kindness and gratitude to others.

They really do make our school such a wonderful place to be. Well done, we are incredibly proud of you all! 💛👏

🌊 Water Safety Update 🌊

Following recent events involving the river, we want to reassure our families that we are taking additional steps in school to support children’s understanding of water safety.

This week, all classes will be taking part in extra water safety lessons alongside their usual learning. These sessions are designed to build children’s knowledge, awareness and confidence so they can make safe choices around water.

Class teachers will share updates and photos on Class Dojo so you can see what the children have been learning. Teaching children how to stay safe near water is incredibly important, as understanding risks and how to respond in an emergency can help prevent accidents.

As always, the safety and wellbeing of our children is our highest priority, and we are committed to doing all we can to keep them safe. 💙
