• Equality Badge Success!

  Mon 29 Jan 2024

  We are very proud of everyone in school this morning as we have achieved our Race Equality Badge and our Religion and Beliefs Equality Badge. During the accreditation visit, Mr Anwar said he was 'blown away' with the children's knowledge and understanding of other faiths and religions, as well as their knowledge of inequality throughout history and their understanding of how this can change with respect and tolerance in the future.

  

• NISCU Worship

  Wed 06 Dec 2023

  We had a lovely morning with Debbie and Abi from NISCU. They led us in a Christmas assembly looking at party planning and the surprising and humble way God introduced His Son to us at Christmas. Afterwards they shared Nativity Nursery rhymes with EYFS and Key Stage 1, a special Christmas dance with Beech class and an exploration of Matthew and Luke's gospel accounts with Willow class, understanding what the Bible actually says and what has become part of the Christmas tradition.

  

• Advent Toy Service

  We had a lovely Advent Toy Service in Church yesterday led by the children, followed by a visit from Naomi from the Salvation Army today to share thanks to children and families for such generous toy donations. The Salvation Army, Blackpool, have had requests for over 2000 children this year, so all our wonderful gifts will certainly bring joy to many children Thank you.

  

• ArtsMark Success

  Thu 02 Nov 2023

  We are delighted to have achieved our ArtsMark Silver Award today. 

  The assessors had this to say about school;

  Your Statement of Commitment and Statement of Impact have been assessed and we’re pleased to share this feedback from our assessors with you:

  'Despite the limitations of Covid you worked imaginatively to develop your original plan which prioritised two main themes. First, continuing professional development to embed quality staff development and curriculum design and second, working on ways of delivering the curriculum to develop more creative children and young people. You are open about the extent to which Covid impacted your journey. Lockdowns were imposed soon after your Development Day. So progress may have been slowed by this. But it was not stopped. You drew in the expertise of external partners, from the local music service, to parents with arts skills who could help run after school clubs. So by drawing on connections and working through the arts in collaborative ways you have changed the atmosphere and ethos for young people who are energised by their arts participation and have a renewed enthusiasm for school. SImultaneously you have invested in CPD and training. Working with Blue Moose Dance Company, Lancashire Music Service and the CPD element within Kapow has all contributed to a boost in teacher confidence around use of the arts in learning. It feels that you have reached a point of convergence, where use of external arts partners, the growth in positive attitudes among learners and the development of new skills and confidence in teachers is now beginning to interweave and help you begin the next phase of your development. To take further steps it may be helpful to consider how teacher confidence can translate into arts-rich practice: how does teaching the arts, and aiming for more creative young people, manifest day to day in your curriculum and your classrooms? What will your signature pedagogies be? And how will these reflect the values of your school and your ambitions for learners longer term?'

  Congratulations on your Artsmark Silver Award!

  Huge thanks to Mrs Shields who works tirelessly alongside the staff to provide the children with so many different Arts experiences.

• Kindness Week

  Fri 06 Oct 2023

  We thanked the children and parents for their donations towards NSPCC Childline for Kindness Week. The children looked wonderful in their rainbow colours and  shared their acts of kindness in worship.

  Particular thanks went to Logan who created a worry box to help his friends in class, to Isla who is doing ‘100 skips a day in October' challenge to raise awareness of cancer, to Ronnie who kindly brought in sunflowers for each one of his class mates and Harriet who baked biscuits for her friends. What kind, caring children we have in school! Thankyou
