Year One explore owls!

Mon 13 Oct 2025

On Monday 13th October 2025, our Year One class were truly inspired by their visit from real owls! To launch their learning about "Owl Babies" they listened intently to our visiting Owl Expert, as well as having the opportunity to hold owls, watch owls fly in our school hall and learn many new facts and key information. Our Year One children were certainly flying high after this visit, and are keen to tell us all the information they have retained. Well done Year One!

NFL Visit to London

Sun 12 Oct 2025

NFL Visit to London:

Over the past 18 months, Year 6 have been fortunate enough to participate in partnership work with the Leeds United Foundation. This partnership is funded by the 49s Group (owners of Leeds United) and involves expert coaching in Flag Football, teaching the children the basic concepts of American Football. The sessions are enjoyed by our pupils and they have received various types of free merchandise during this period. To further raise the profile of American Football in the local area, the Leeds United Foundation made an incredible offer to the school. There was the opportunity for 10 lucky pupils to attend a live American Football game on Sunday 12th October. The game saw the Denver Broncos take on the New York Jets at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. I thank Mr Whittle and Mr James who attended with our children and gave up their Sundays to bring this experience to our children. The children were a credit to their school, their famillies and themselves.
