Carols at Willington Care Village (09.12.24)
Some of our Key Stage pupils visited Willington Care village to sing some of our favourite Christmas carols to them. Everyone sang beautifully, including the enthusiastic Mr Sanderson, and the residents were delighted to see us. It was a truly lovely afternoon. Then, some of Community Heroes children presented Hayley Ainsley with some care packages they had made for the residents who don’t have any family to visit them over Christmas. We are so proud of our kind and empathetic pupils.
Parkside Reading Afternoon (26.11.24)
We were delighted to welcome some Year 10 pupils into school to listen to our children read. It was a gorgeous afternoon, the Year 10 pupils were so polite, well-mannered and confident and our children loved showing off their reading skills and chatting to the older children about their book choices. Their teacher Miss Maughan said the children had been really inspired by the afternoon and a number of them are now thinking about a career in teaching!

They really did themselves and our school proud today.
Community heroes (16.11.23)
