✨ Year 7 New Pupil Day ✨

Our future Year 7 pupils had a fantastic day getting their second taste of Senior School life ahead of September.

From testing acids and alkalis in Science to creating Zentangle-inspired artwork, composing music, and taking on team-building challenges and rounders in PE, there was plenty to get involved in.

Most importantly, it was wonderful to see new friendships forming, confidence growing and so much enthusiasm throughout the day. We can't wait to welcome them back in September.

🏃‍♂️ Silcoates Athletes will represent Wakefield and the school at two major sporting events over the next few days.

First up, ten Senior pupils have earned selection for the West Yorkshire Schools Athletics Championships at Leeds Beckett University.

Alongside this, our Junior Boys and Junior Girls squads are heading to the ESAA Track & Field Cup Regional ‘B’ Finals, after outstanding performances that saw both teams finish 4th in the qualifying round and secure strong national rankings heading into the finals.

This level of success is a real testament to the hard work, talent and determination of all involved.

We wish them all the very best of luck as they proudly represent Silcoates and Wakefield!

🩷 Pink It Up Day 🩷

Pre-School and Reception had a brilliant day taking part in the Candlelighters 'Pink It Up' fundraiser!

With a whole host of pink-themed activities, team games, and a scavenger hunt, the day was filled with smiles, kindness, and Silcoates spirit. The absolute highlight of the day was a picnic lunch, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. 🥪

Thanks to the generosity of our school community, we are delighted to have raised an incredible £791 for Candlelighters. Thank you to everyone who supported this wonderful cause!

It was a pleasure to welcome Alison and Treacle Bear from Wakefield Hospice to our Junior School assembly to thank pupils for their fantastic efforts in the Reindeer Run back in December.

Thanks to the generosity of our school community, an incredible £2,495.50 was raised for the charity. It was wonderful to hear how these vital funds help support the important work of the hospice. And, of course, Treacle Bear was a huge hit with the pupils! 🐻
