Congratulations to our rugby and tennis teams that took part in some key stage two competitions recently. They all competed to the best of their ability and in many cases were trying something new! Each team won some games, lost some games and drew some games but they ALL had fun along the way and hopefully learnt some new...
The girls football team played in a tournament and started off with three strong victories. They then faced Bury Grammar and narrowly lost 3-2. This meant they needed to win in their final match against St. Mary’s Radcliffe to stand a chance of progressing to the next stage. The girls hit the post, crossbar and their goalkeeper was outstanding...
Golden Gate class went to the Fusliers Museum in Bury on Wednesday, following their recent topic on World War 2.

May I take this opportunity to say how well behaved and respectful...
Our boys football team made it into the quarter final stage for the first time in a few years, however, they were unfortunate to come against a very strong side in Greenhill.

In Golden Gate class the children loved working with their friends to create podcasts recently. They had to write scripts, decide on a group name and themes they would like to discuss!
