🌟 We would like to say a huge thank you and well done to our Year 6 pupils and everyone who sponsored them for their Colour Run last month. Thanks to their fantastic efforts and the generosity of families and the community, an incredible £888 has been raised for Rotherham Hospice.

This amazing total will help support the vital work of the hospice and make a real difference to local families. We are incredibly proud of our pupils for taking part in such a worthwhile cause and grateful to everyone who contributed. Thank you for helping to make such a positive impact in our community!

🌊 Recently, Y6 had an amazing three days on their residential, visiting Robin Hood’s Bay, Whitby, and Scarborough. Throughout the trip, they enjoyed a wide range of activities, including visits to the beach, bird watching, learning about water safety with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, spending time in the arcades, and going bowling. Along the way, they experienced new places, learned new skills, and created lasting memories with their friends.

The children represented the school brilliantly throughout the residential, demonstrating excellent behaviour and teamwork. It has been a wonderful reward for all of their hard work, and we are incredibly proud of every one of them. Well done, Year 6!
