  • Thank you from us all!

    Fri 16 Dec 2022 Mrs Ewens

    WOW! The raffles that we held over the last couple of weeks have raised £538 and we have been blown away by your generosity. As a school we are wanting to expand our Forest School area and the School Council have been writing to local companies to try and get donations. However, with the raffle money, a donation from the PTA and money raised from previous non-uniform days, we are now able to afford a poly tunnel for school.
    This will be a project which we will run during the Spring term to hopefully have the area up and running in the Summer term. If any parents are interested in helping us prepare the ground and foundations for the poly tunnel then please do get in touch.

    Thank you again; we couldn't have done this without you all.

    Merry Christmas from Mrs Ewens

  • Table Football World Cup Final 2022!

    Thu 15 Dec 2022 Mrs Melvin

    Today was the day that our very own 2022 World Cup Final took place! For the last 4 weeks, Mr Hindle has organised and ran a super successful Table Football competition and today in school, we held a whole school assembly where the final took place between Canada (Mason and Max from Year 6) and Spain (Brody O and Sienna from Year 4). It was a very close game and the score was tied at 4-4 but Canada clinched it in the end! Well done boys! Mr Hindle also gave prizes to the runner ups and his helpers. Well done Northern and well done Mr Hindle!

  • Northern and The Polar Express!

    Thu 15 Dec 2022 Mrs Melvin

    Today our Year 4, 5 and 6 children went to Burnley Cinema to watch The Polar Express! We had a simply marvellous time and we enjoyed every single minute of the film and we are most definitely feeling the Christmas spirit. Massive thanks must go to the PTA because it was down to them why we were able to take the children on this exciting trip!
