On Friday last week, Amelia and Charney took part in a mental health champion training day at the Prairie in Burnley, alongside some other schools from around Burnley. The course was delivered by Charlotte Hartley, a former International hockey player, who represented England in the 2006 Commonwealths. The girls took part in team games, self-esteem bosting activities and learnt about ways to support and improve mental health. The girls had a fabulous time and even confidently did a presentation of what they had learnt from the day in front of all of the other attendees! Amelia and Charney look forward to spreading their knowledge and helping others as the "positive peers" around our school.

Arthur, from Year 5 has completed the Three Peaks walk last weekend with his dad and cousin to raise money for an Easter pilgrimage to Lourdes. Every Easter over 1,000 disabled and disadvantaged children enjoy a week in Lourdes, staying in hotels wit

Miss Keenan and Mrs Duffy took some children from Year 4 and Year 5 on 27th June 2024 to a Sustainability Conference at Ewood Park. The children and staff have come back buzzing with some ideas about how we can link what they have seen and heard with Pope Francis’ Laudato Si message about Caring for our Common home.

Wednesday Worship for Key Stage One took place in the Prayer Garden this week. The children enjoyed being amongst the chickens in the sunshine and listening to the Word of God.

A report from Mr Mc Caffrey - What a fantastic day the children had yesterday! (Thursday 25th April.)They absolutely loved all the challenges that were set and couldn't believe that skateboarding could be part of the school curriculum! Our very experienced coach was able to teach the children new skills, as well as promoting confidence and resilience. All classes were able to spend time helping each other out with cool tricks and encouraging each other to take part. The coach was very impressed with everyone's behaviour (2 weeks running external coaches/companies have made a point of this - well done everyone!) and in particular, some of our Year 6 children were mastering skills that they teach to Year 10 pupils.
