Special thanks to our Year 6 elves who stepped in to help Father Christmas give out his presents. And of course we must say a big 'Thank You' to Santa for visiting us here at Northern!

• A Victorian Christmas

  Wed 04 Dec 2019
  Our Year 1 children enjoyed a trip to Gawthorpe Hall to experience a Victorian Christmas, what a wonderful morning.

• Sleeping Beauty

  Wed 04 Dec 2019
  Today our children were entertained and amused by Story Magic's performance of Sleeping Beauty. This show was a fantastic treat for all our children and they sang songs, made us laugh and made the classic story of Sleeping Beauty come to life in our hall. This was paid for out of the PTA funds which we are incredibly grateful for and why it so important that support for their events continues as it allows your child to enjoy such rewards. Hope you all enjoyed it children as the teachers certainly did!
