Christmas Concerts Once again, our Christmas Concerts were very well received by the audiences in attendance. From Reception all the way up to Year 6, the children performed brilliantly and sang beautifully.
Christmas Jumper Day Thank you to everyone who supported our Christmas Jumper event, to raise money for St Clare’s Hospice in Jarrow. The children and staff looked very Christmassy and there were some great jumpers on display around the school. We even had a visit from Buddy Bear and here he is with our Reception and Year 6 children.
We would like to thank everyone who came along to support their child.
