Today, the whole school joined in with the 'Walk a Mile' around the field, to raise funds for school. Everyone dressed up in the brightest of clothes to have a fun afternoon in the sun. Congratulations to all the children and the staff for a great afternoon. Don't forget to collect all your money over the half term and bring it into school. Thank you for your continued support.

 

Our Y6 Liturgy Leaders were great ambassadors for our school today; representing our school and parish community at the Fr Hudson's Mass at St Chad's Cathedral. They carried the OLSK Banner with pride during the offertory procession and presented a cheque for £214- money raised by all the children collecting their pennies during Lent! The girls were very fortunate to have their photo with Archbishop Bernard Longley outside the Cathedral after Mass. 

 

Well done to Miss Marshall, all the staff and the children for achieving such an amazing award. We are really proud of you!

 

The Primary School Quality Mark scheme enables schools to work together to share good practice and is supported by professional development led by local experts. It encourages teacher autonomy and innovation while at the same time offering a clear framework for development in science subject leadership, teaching and learning. 

Jane Turner, PSQM National Director said: “Gaining a Primary Science Quality Award is a significant achievement for a school.  The profile and quality of science teaching and learning in each of these schools is very high. Children are engaging with great science both in and outside the classroom, developing positive attitudes towards science as well as secure science understanding and skills. Science subject leaders, their colleagues, head teachers, children, parents and governors should be very proud.”
