We are very proud to have been awarded this prestigious quality mark which reinforces the work that we do to ensure that every child in our school is valued and has their education directly tailored to their learning needs. It represents the fact that we are a fully inclusive school who promote the social, emotional and academic well being of all of our pupils.

We have had some aerial photographs and a video taken of our school by our Chair of Governors, Mr O’Roarty. Some of the children are using them in Geography to help them in their studies of our local area.
Well done to all our TT Rock Star Winners this week.
We are now beginning to see our children’s Rock Speeds, and we’re very proud that a lot of children are starting to improve on their performances. Keep up the hard work.
Well done Rachel, who completed a Remembrance Run and ran 5km to help raise money for veterans in the Armed Forces community gain the skills and self-belief to transform their lives as they recover from physical and mental challenges.

The children from Class 4 had the opportunity to experience another transition activity at DCBC today. We participated in a History session on World War One Trench Warfare and Remembrance along with 7 other cluster primary schools.
We linked this transition with our recent Cornerstones Curriculum – Fallen Fields.
Once again, our children demonstrated their Rights Respecting ethos and were a credit to their school.
Well done everyone; we’re very proud of you all.
The children from Class 4 experienced what it would be like to be homeless last night as they raised awareness for the charity Crisis. During our sleepover, we were able to: build shelters using only materials that could be found on the streets; sample soup, hot dogs and hot chocolate from the soup kitchen; make clothing out of scrap materials, as well as meet some homeless children!
We are very proud of all our children, who managed to brave a ‘night on the street’ (in the school hall) – even Mrs. Lee, Mr. Graham and Mrs. Aspinall braved the evening!
Well done everyone.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Selby Cottage to ensure smooth transition from nursery to our school. We look forward to continued work with the nursery.
Well Done to Jenson and Matthew, who attended a Remembrance service with Beavers.
We are very proud of a congregation of Class 4 children today as they represented our school with distinction, demonstrating outstanding Rights Respecting Gold ethos during the War Memorial Service at St. Philip and St. James Church, Kimblesworth.
This Innovate Stage of the topic challenged the children to participate in a remembrance event to commemorate the end of World War 1. Your poems were beautiful, and your family and friends have the right to be immensely proud of you all.
Well done Alisha, Olivia and Peyton.
