Goodbye to our fabulous Year 6. You are all amazing individuals who deserve to do well in whatever the future holds. We will really miss you.

Amazing SATs results this year. Well done to Year 6 for being the top attaining Year 6 in Leeds again - 3 years in a row. A 100% pass rate in Reading, Writing, Maths and Grammar. Well done to you all. We are very proud of you.

This week we held our annual summer concert where our musicians performed for families and all our classes performed songs they had been learning. Very well done to all of you.

Today some of our Year 6 pupils organised a fund raising day for Natasha's Foundation and research into food allergies. We had a non-uniform day, games and activities for everyone to try during the day. Thank you Year 6. (The initial count looks like they raised nearly £300)

It was great for us to be holding our annual Sports Day. Well done for everyone, but especially the Green Team as overall winners.

As part of our RE and learning about World Religions, we have had a visit by two Monks from a local Buddhist Temple. They spoke about their lives, beliefs, traditions and ceremonies. They told us about the importance of meditation and we all had a go.

Well done Year 6 on completing SATs week. You all approached it with such positivity and a determination to show what you could do. We are so proud of you.
