Well done to the some of the Year 5 / 6 pupils who competed in the area Sports Hall Athletics competition this week.

The boys’ team came 6th whilst the girls’ team cam 7th, competing against all other local primary schools. Mr Field was very proud of their teamwork, effort and speedy running!

Parents – Be Net Aware! Social Media/Apps/Games Advice for Parents
At school, we regularly teach children how to stay safe when using tablets, mobile phones, computers and consoles. We also realise that technology is evolving rapidly. In addition, social media use amongst children is increasing nationally. We would like to share this website with you to help you understand the rules and regulations around social media sites, apps and games to help keep your child safe.
This website has been recommended to the school by a leading ICT/Computing Advisor and has been developed by o2 and the NSPCC.
If you have any concerns or questions about e-safety, please contact the school.
Cross Country Success
On Wednesday 20th November, many of our Y3-Y6 pupils completed their final Cross Country race of the competition. We are very proud of their effort and every single pupil; has improved over the four weeks of racing. In addition, they have been running in very tricky conditions; wind, rain, mud and icy winds!
All results will be collated and some of the very high-performing pupils will be invited to take part in the North Shropshire Cross Country Finals next year.
