This week, we have had the lovely people from Sheffield University that deliver the Maker School programme in school to showcase this to some of the children and deliver some training to staff. We are in the process of developing this in school to deliver ready for September. Further information about the Maker School programme can be found here.

I would also like to give a huge congratulations to the children in Years 1 and 2 and that took part in the Phonics Screening Check this week. From speaking with the class teachers, I know the children showed great determination and resilience and approached the check with enthusiasm - well done children!

Lastly, I was lucky enough to accompany some of our Year 5 children to a cricket festival at Blyth Cricket Club on Monday. The children showed some great catching, bowling and batting skills and had a fantastic day!
