Within our school, we recognise the uniqueness of each individual. We must equip our pupils to recognise and evaluate what is being presented to them and continually work towards a structure and framework for their own beliefs and behaviour. We need to use the experience of others to support and prepare us for life’s journey.
We show care and empathy, encouraging kindness, understanding and emotional awareness in all we do.
We maintain high standards in how we work, present ourselves, and always give our best effort.
We value everyone, promoting good manners and treating others — and ourselves — with dignity.
We practise daily acts of kindness, creating a positive, caring and inclusive school environment.
We support one another, show pride in our school, and stay true to our friends and shared goals.
We take ownership of our actions, care for our environment, and contribute positively to school life.

What a fantastic week of reading in 3P! This week, 3P have been developing their inference skills by exploring a poem linked to rocks and stones, making meaningful connections between our learning in Science and History. The children have also been enjoying an information text all about dinosaurs . 3P have loved sharing their own reading interests and recommendations with one another. It has been a pleasure to see so many children willing and eager to read aloud. We have had lots of fantastic conversations around books and the things we enjoy reading. Keep up the great reading, Year 3! Miss Pendlebury can't wait to hear all about the exciting things you've been reading at home!
3P have been learning all about the Stone Age! The children investigated pictures of Stone Age artefacts, discussing what they were used for and what materials they were made from. We then explored the three Stone Age periods Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic and discovered how life changed throughout each period. Our Speaking Skill of the Week was a fantastic focus, with lots of opportunities for children to develop their oracy skills, share ideas, explain their thinking and listen to others. 3P have a class of budding historians!
Career of the Week! Year 3P have been learning all about our Career of the Week – Teacher! We have been exploring the important role teachers play and discussing the importance of speaking sharing our ideas, communicating clearly, listening to others and having the confidence to use our voices. 3P enjoyed role playing being a teacher, taking turns to be the teacher and students. It's been wonderful to see Year 3 developing their speaking skills and thinking about how these skills can help!
Toddler Group Lots of Space Week at Toddler Group! We've had so much fun getting creative this week with tinfoil painting! The children have been busy making colourful patterns and using their fine motor skills to scrunch, twist and manipulate the tinfoil learning through play while having lots of fun! It's also been lovely seeing the children interacting with one another, making new friends and meeting new people. Our toddler group is a lovely, relaxed space where everyone is welcome. Come along, let the little ones play, enjoy a brew and have a chat with other parents and carers. Whether you're a regular or coming along for the first time, you'll be made very welcome! We can't wait to see you all!
Year 1 have been thinking about the facilities in their local community. #locality #hgcp #earlyyearstoemployment
This week our skills builder of the week is "speaking" In 4M we made posters about the different jobs that use speaking and how this is done in a professional setting.
On Monday 4M continued practicing their yoga skills creating different poses and working on our movement between each pose.
Career of the Week – Teacher! This week in 6A, as part of our Career of the Week focus, we explored the important role of a teacher! We had some amazing discussions about what teachers do every day and the many different responsibilities they have beyond simply teaching lessons. We also explored what makes a great teacher, thinking about qualities such as patience, kindness, creativity, organisation, communication and leadership. It was fantastic to hear the children sharing their ideas and recognising just how much teachers can inspire, support and encourage others! #HGCP #earlyyearstoemployment #QUESTtrust
Y6 Football Yesterday some of our Y6's went and played in the Wigan borough kids cup hosted by Wigan Athletic community trust. They tried their best and there was some great goals and skills on show.
In our skills builder assembly today Year 1 looked at the career of a news reporter. #skillsbuilder #hgcp
Skills Builder: Year 5 explored the speaking skills needed to teach. Whether that be asking questions or explaining and giving information. Children became the teacher and practised oracy skills such as using a loud voice, making eye contact, speaking clearly and slowly. Children gained an insight into how much thought goes into speaking to an audience and how the tone and language used can be so important to speaking successfully.

This 'balloon hack' to learn rounding to the nearest 10, in Y4RS worked a treat! Holding onto the balloon we counted on our fingers the amount of ones. If the digit was 5 or more, we let go and the balloon went UP! If the digit was 4 or less, the ballon could be pulled DOWN!
4RS have loved being the "teacher" this week in our Skills Builder session. We linked how Speaking skills such as making sure what you are saying make sense, speaking clearly and slowly, and changing your tone and language according to the audience. We certainly have some budding teachers in 4RS! #skillsbuilder #earlyyearstoemployment
