We've 'gone early' on the @sustrans.bsky.social Big Walk and Wheel, starting today. Staff and children are undertaking to reduce our car commutes, which we estimate account for over 1/3 of our total operational carbon footprint.

It's Chinese (Lunar) New Year. Our greetings to all celebrating. We've been enjoying some celebrations here in school: parkdale-primary.co.uk/18372-2/

We made it to the holidays! Wishing everyone here a very Merry Christmas with best wishes for the New year when it arrives. See you in 2025.

Ah, thanks April. Sending our love your way...

Mostly, the values we encourage and that our children and wider community demonstrate. It's not perfect but we're a haven of kindness and respect. See you're also a digital enthusiast and we're also proud to be an Apple Distinguished School. :-)

Have just made a couple of updates to my Reading for Pleasure Padlet. Ideas for staff meetings, teaching resources, links to a map of children's bookshops, suggested picturebooks to use in assemblies, templates for surveys, and lots more. I hope it's useful. padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...
