We’ve currently having a huge book sale during playtime.  Books are priced at 20p each, grab yourself a bargain!

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Simply Sport who have chosen to sponsor our boys and girls football team by designing and creating a new kit for us to wear.

Matt, who runs Simply Sport comes in to school every week to coach P.E sessions as well as running an after school club. Below is a link to his page where he offers extra sporting activates throughout the holidays. He is a great asset to our school and we are very thankful for his support.

Exciting news in the RfP calendar with 13th September being Roald Dahl Day. In our school we celebrate this brilliant author for the whole month of September with lots of activities in and around school.
Today one Golden Ticket was hidden and children have been searching for it all day. The one lucky winner will receive some Roald Dahl goodies. Watch this space to see who finds it and where.
This Friday I will be opening a pop up shop featuring Charlie and the Chocolate factory themed treats to eat.
I will be doing this each Friday during the month of September. Prices start at a £1 for the giant marshmallow lollies and there are also biscuits, mix ups, small lollies and other treats for 50p. Oh and there are also Snozwangles for 30p.
Proceeds help towards obtaining books for our Free Book Friday Trolley, Christmas Advent Reading Calendar and other competition prizes as well as World Book Day.
BLPS are very proud of our reading and we give out over 450 free books each year.
Thank you for your support and for those who are still stuck on the word Snozzwangle it’s a type of extra big fruity shoelace 🤔🤪😅🤩🥳
Don’t forget if you have any books in super condition we will always be grateful for your kind donations. We use these for our outdoor libraries which are in Ks1 and Ks2.

Hi Everyone,

Well, another year over and what a year! It has been great to get back fully into the swing of things again. Well done to our Year 6 children who performed marvellously in their SATs. All their hard work and determination was worth it!

This term we have all enjoyed a range of activities including: The Heavy Beat Brass Band from the Durham Brass Festival, Handball day, Frisbee Fun day, and Hoopstarz to name but a few.

I hope everyone has a well-earned, relaxing summer holiday.
