On the 17th May we jointly hosted with the staff from St. James’s Primary School a wonderful Shared Education Fun Day. The event was held at St. James’s Parish Centre. There was face painting, an open farm and a whole range of fun games. Better than this was the genuine sense of community, friendship and conversation that was obvious on the afternoon.
Between 400 to 500 children, parents and staff attended. Pupils, as a treat, were allowed to wear their own clothes. This was, however, a very deliberate decision. It was lovely seeing families have fun together and no visible sense of two separate schools just a collection of happy children.
As we come to the conclusion of this 25th anniversary of our schools’ friendship we have much to celebrate from our past, enjoy today and strive for in the years ahead!
Our literacy and numeracy results give us much encouragement. While we are always striving for better, we felt that the scores have been very pleasing. Numeracy results have increased yet again and the level of pupils reaching their potential in literacy is so high!
