Our UKS2 children finished runners up in the IPLCN Netball Competition this week, losing narrowly in the final 1-0. The children were fantastic and will continue to work towards further success.

 

Our School Council Members attended an IPLCN activity day at Ashworth Valley recently, along with School Council Members from other schools. All the children involved did an excellent job of representing our school and a good muddy day was had by all!

 

On Monday 25th September the Year 6 children are going to the Robinwood Activity Centre in Cumbria.  The coach will be leaving Marland Hill at 8.30am prompt and therefore children need to arrive at school no later than 8.00am.  Please bring children into the hall where they will be registered and baggage will be labelled.  Children do not need to bring a packed lunch as they will be provided with lunch on arrival at Robinwood.

We sent a booklet home this week explaining how to complete your child's high secondary school application online.  This must be completed by 31st October 2017.  If you need any help completing your application we are holding a workshop in school next Thursday, 28th September at 2.30pm.

Our annual Autumn term curriculum evenings have taken place over the last fortnight.  These provide parents with the opportunity to meet their child's teacher and get an overview of expectations and curriculum content.  These were very well attended, so a big thank you for your support.

On Thursday morning in Celebration Assembly we celebrated the achievements of our students across the school. Mrs Cunningham was proud to present:
