In celebration of Children in Need, we held a talent show today. We have a very talented bunch of learners at Longridge Primary School and a very supportive audience too!

Congratulations to our award winners. We love celebrating the talents, skills and achievements of our pupils at Longridge Primary.

Our Head Teacher Award winners enjoyed their hot chocolate treat.

Congratulations to these children for earning a golden coin to spend at our book vending machine. Enjoy reading your new books, you deserve them after your literacy achievements.

Thank you to the parents and carers who attended our first Curriculum Cafe of the year, it was lovely to share our improvement priorities with you as well as the work the children have been doing outdoors. We look forward to seeing you at our next cafe where we will share our journey developing our approach to Building Thinking Classrooms.

We’ve had a lovely morning celebrating Halloween and the children have had a great time at their party with dancing, party games and a Halloween parade!

Primary 7 were all good sports and took part in a P7 challenge, being served some ‘delicious’ donuts. Unfortunately some of the donuts had been tampered with by an evil witch and had some very usual fillings!

Finally, there were 101 reasons for the staff to enjoy Halloween! Happy Halloween everyone!

Congratulations to the children who represented our football team at the Whitburn Academy Cluster football event. The Longridge team were told that the priority was representing the school with positive behaviour and attitude which they absolutely did. They were a credit to the school and their families!

Officially, the games were all friendlies with no scores being counted but… if they were, Longridge won 4 out of 5 games, only conceding 1 goal! This was a great achievement for our players, each game up against bigger local schools. Our players will remember their success for a long time to come!

PS a special thank you to Mrs Sneddon who not only organises the bus and letters for these events but offered to wash the strips. Over and above!!
