🩵⭐️ SCHOOL'S OUT! ⭐️🩵

As we wave goodbye for the summer, we want to say a massive congratulations and farewell to our wonderful Year 6 children. You have truly been an incredible year group, and we are so proud of the resilience, kindness, and individuality you have shown. We will miss you all, but we know you are going to absolutely shine as you transition to secondary school. Go and make us proud!

Today, we also say a very fond farewell to some of our brilliant staff members who are moving on to new chapters. No words can express our grattitude for your endless love, care, and commitment to our children and community. You will be missed terribly, and we wish you the very best of luck in your next adventures.

To all of our families, thank you for your incredible support throughout the year. Have a safe, happy, and restful summer break, and enjoy spending time together. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in September.

A massive congratulations to our incredible Year 6 children on two truly spectacular performances of Mary Poppins!

Every child contributed to this production—whether they were shining under the spotlight, managing the technical desk, assisting with the stage support or designing the scenery - it really was a true team effort.

A huge thank you goes out to all the staff involved. Putting together a production of this scale is no small task. The hours spent behind the scenes resulted in a show that was “practically perfect in every way!”

⚽🏆 YORK CITY TROPHY VISIT🏆⚽

We may not have got the result we had hoped for in the World Cup match last night, but our football fans certainly had a reason to smile today.

We were incredibly lucky to have a visit from York City Football Club with the National League Trophy. Our children had the opportunity to hold the cup, snap some photos, and celebrate the incredible success of our local team.

York City Football Club Foundation has plenty to keep the children active over the summer break. Details of their summer courses, KickAbouts and City Wildcats in the Park sessions are available on thier page. Have a look and get involved!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ⚽ IT’S COMING HOME...TO THE CLASSROOMS! ⚽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

We know so many parents are facing the dilemma with the big England match late on Sunday night: "Do we let them stay up?" "Do we face the Monday morning meltdown?" We’ve got you covered! Here is our plan so the children don't miss out on the excitement:

We are inviting all children to watch the match replay right here at school with their friends.

⏰ Drop-off: School starts at the normal time
🎬 Kick-off: We’ll be showing the game from 9:00am
👕 What to wear: Football shirts or sportswear, if they wish
🎨 Not a football fan? No problem at all! For those children who don't fancy watching the match, we have plenty of crafts and games for them.

We are really excited to share this with the children. So early nights and we'll handle Monday morning! Let's hope for an England win!

🌳🏆 HAVE WE MENTIONED WE'RE A PLATINUM OPAL SCHOOL?! 🏆🌳

On Monday, we were thrilled to welcome the City's Lord Mayor, Consort and Sheriff to school for the official presentation of our OPAL Platinum Award. The visit celebrated the incredible journey we’ve been on to transform playtimes, and our commitment to making play a central part of every child's day. To mark the occasion, the children enjoyed a special assembly and an extra-long playtime together.

The excitement didn't stop there. On Wednesday, two of our Teaching Assistants attended the OPAL Regional Event to discover even more ways to enhance our playtimes. While there, they collected an award on behalf of Mrs Taylor, who was nominated for—and won—a richly deserved award for her outstanding leadership and engagement with the programme.

With OPAL, we are never done. There will be more exciting additions to the playground over the summer holiday and we have no doubt that the list of requests from the children will continue!

☀️WELL, THAT WAS A HOT ONE!☀️

A huge well done all our children, who have been absolute superstars in this week’s heatwave. We swapped our usual playground routines for time exploring the shaded wildlife area, enjoyed indoor learning activities and traded our usual PE sessions for parachute games and water play.

With more hydration breaks than the World Cup, and well-deserved ice lollies all round today, the children have stayed cool and continued learning.

Have a wonderful weekend - we look forward to seeing you all Monday.

☀️🥾MR MCEVOY GOES TREKKING ☀️🥾

It may be the hottest week of the year, but that isn't stopping Mr McEvoy from taking on yet another incredible challenge. This time, he is tackling a 26-mile walk at the Trek26 Peak District event to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society.

Best of luck for the weekend, Mr Mc! We hope there is plenty of ice cream waiting for you at the finish line!
