We are excited to introduce a new section of our website called: Keeping Connected: Christmas. In the first lockdown our Keeping Connected section proved very popular among our school community. So, while we won’t be able to celebrate Christmas together as we normally do, we have decided to develop a section that brings the all of the festive cheer to you – from Advent activities, to Christmas performances, to Christingle along with all the information you need to find out how we are celebrating Christmas in school.

Please visit our Keeping Connected: Christmas section by clicking on the link or by finding it under the Parents tab of the main navigational menu and then clicking on Keeping Connected: Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

During Stargazing Week the North Pennines AONB launched their children’s space/stargazing art competition and are still searching for talented young artists to enter. There are three age categories – under 8s, 8-12; and 13-18 years. The winner of each category will receive a pair of Helios 10×50 Fieldmaster binoculars – which are ideal for budding stargazers – as well as birdwatchers! Runners up will receive some astronomy and stargazing books.

The closing date is Wednesday 2 December – so there’s plenty of time to get your artwork in. Please visit the North Pennines AONB Star Art 2020 for more information.
