As a school, we always tried to think ‘big’ to ensure that the children get as much curriculum enhancement as well as opportunities to meet and mix with other children, especially in terms of transition.
We have lots of events planned for the rest of the year, some as Federation days and some with our Alliance schools.
As well as being part of a Federation with Longhorsley, we are part of an informal alliance, called the Font Alliance, working together with schools who have the same philosophy as ourselves, some small, some much larger, some church, some non-church schools, all to benefit our children (and also our staff too). The schools involved are Rothbury First School, Cambo First School, Stannington First School, Ponteland Community Primary School, Tritlington C of E First School, Morpeth First School and of course, Longhorsley and Whalton.
Coming up this Autumn term:
- Federation Day – (next half term – Autumn 2)
For the rest of the year:
- World Book Day – Federation Day – Children invited to dress as a book character.
- Alliance Football Tournaments, including girls’ football and multisport event.
- Robinwood Residential – for all of Year 4 (and Year 5) with Longhorsley and Cambo
- Alliance Summer event at Ponteland Community Primary school for Years 3 – 6
- Federation joint Sports Day – at Longhorsley
All Federation events are advertised in our diary dates sent out at the beginning of the year.
