• Bikeability Training

  Tue 13 Oct 2015

  30 pupils took part in cycling training this week learning safety implications of cycling on the road. The first day was done on the school yard, and the following day the Bikeability team took pupils on the quiet local roads to make sure they could put into practice everything they had learnt. Pupils then received a certificate and badges. Everyone learnt a lot and had lots of fun. The Bikeability team commented how polite and well behaved all pupils were whilst doing the training. A big well done to everyone.

• Winner of National Whole-School Reading Culture Award,2015

  Fri 26 Jun 2015

  We are delighted to say that Padiham Primary School has won the Read for My School National Reading Culture Award, 2015. Our school’s application really impressed the national judges by demonstrating a true commitment to a whole-school reading culture through really creative initiatives and investment for the future.  

   

  Reading for pleasure is at the heart of our initiatives, which aim to generate excitement about books and cultivate long-lasting positive attitudes towards reading.

   

  The awards ceremony took place at a special event at the Lyric Theatre, London, on Thursday, 26th June. The celebrations featured an exclusive performance from Horrible Histories: Barmy Britain 3 and a storytelling, song-singing performance from Steampunk Pirate author Gareth Jones. 

   

  Mr Dunderdale, Mrs Longbottom and six children from Years 5 and 6, travelled to London to receive the award from Book Trust Chief Executive, Diana Gerald.  

   

  The prize is a second £1,000 voucher to spend on Pearson Education products, a visit from an artist from The Beano to create an illustration of the winning class and a selection of books for our school library.

  Deputy Head Chris Dunderdale said: 'Reading is the key to everything and to have national success in the Read for My School competition is phenomenal.'

   

  Read for My School is the free national reading competition for children aged 7 - 13, delivered through schools in England since 2013 by Pearson and Book Trust, with support from the Department for Education.

• Millie's Trust First Aid Training with Year 6

  Thu 25 Jun 2015

  Well done to all our Year 6 pupils who had an amazing day being trained in First Aid by Millie's Trust owner Mrs Joanne Thompson. Pupils thouroughly enjoyed the training and were taught essential life saving skills and are now equipped to help in an emergency situation. We had a Non Uniform day and also sold cakes to raise money for Millie's Trust and we raised £372 which will now be used for training more people. A big well done to pupils and thankyou to parents for once again supporting us as you always do. Thankyou to Joanne, Millie's mummy for taking the time to come in and train us.
