Introducing the WPT Prom Bank for Year 6 and Year 11! 👗👞

Prom is a special milestone for our students, but the cost of prom wear and accessories can be a challenge for some families.

That’s why Wickersley Partnership Trust is proud to launch the WPT Prom Bank - a new initiative designed to help future Year 6 and 11 students access and borrow prom attire, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to celebrate their big night with confidence.

🔷 Dresses
🔷 Suits
🔷 Shoes
🔷 Bags
🔷 Jewellery
🔷 Ties
🔷 And other suitable items

All sizes of adult formalwear and children's formalwear from 9 - 12 years are welcomed.

These donations will help build a sustainable collection that can support students for years to come.

Donations can be dropped off at school reception on any school day or during the following drop-off events:

📍 Cutler's Hall, Sheffield
📅 Friday 24th July, 11am - 2pm

🚨 IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE 🚨

With the recent hot weather, we know how tempting it can be to cool off in local reservoirs, lakes and rivers.

We urge all students and families to remember the dangers of water.

The water may look safe and calm on the surface, but you can never know the conditions underneath.

Cold water shock, sudden drop-offs, and hidden currents are deadly. Even strong swimmers can encounter difficulties.

Please stay out of the water. Do not take the risk.

🏖️ In the final week before half term, Year 6 enjoyed a fantastic trip to Filey as part of their Geography learning. During the visit, the children explored a range of coastal features and saw first-hand many of the landforms they had been learning about in class. They also had the opportunity to go rock pooling, play beach games, and enjoy some time browsing the local shops for treats.

It was a fun and memorable day that combined learning with plenty of seaside enjoyment. Everyone had a fantastic time and represented the school brilliantly throughout the trip. Well done, Year 6!

🏃 On Friday 15th May, Y6 took part in the annual Rotherham School Games Colour Run. The pupils had an amazing time taking part in the colourful event, showing fantastic enthusiasm, energy, and teamwork throughout the day. As well as being a fun celebration after all of their hard work, the event also helped support the incredible Rotherham Hospice and the important work they do within the community.

A huge well done to everyone who took part and represented the school so brilliantly. We would also like to say a big thank you to Rotherham School Games for organising such a fantastic event.

🥁 Recently, Year 6 began developing new musical skills through bucket drumming. The children learned how to hold drumsticks correctly and practised playing simple rhythms on the buckets. They showed great focus and enthusiasm as they explored different beats and worked together to keep in time.

It has been fantastic to see the children building their confidence and musical skills through this fun and engaging activity. Well done, Year 6!
