Tue 14th Jun - Y6 Drama Examination Success
Congratulations to Erin and James for passing their recent LAMDA drama examination. Both students scored high into the nineties and were awarded ‘distinctions’! James and Erin have been working with Limelight Speech and Drama Academy in school towards this qualification. They both experienced many delays and setbacks due to Covid restrictions. Nevertheless, they persevered and should be congratulated on their resilience and effort. Well done to you both!

Fri 29th Apr - Y6 The Get Away 'N' Get Safe Gangs Prevention
This week, Y6 have welcomed James Riley, a former probation officer into school for five daily workshops. He runs the Get Away 'n' Get Safe Prevention Programme with the aim to educate, inspire and empower young people to take control of their future by rejecting the gang lifestyle.
James inspired Y6 with empowering messages to make good choices & examples of the consequences of gang membership.
His key messages included 'be brave and confident to make the right choice', 'retaliation never solved a problem' and 'be forgiving'.
James from Y6 was excited to receive a signed Trent Alexander Arnold Liverpool FC shirt in recognition of his contributions throughout the week.
