We are proud to announce that Churwell Primary Academy has been awarded a SILVER School Mental Health Award. So lovely to have the work that we do recognised officially!🌈

Enjoy your half term! It has been a great first half term in the academy ending on a whole academy attendance figure of 96.4%. We look forward to catching up on holiday news on Tuesday 3rd November - see you there! 🌈

It has been lovely to welcome parents/carers to the academy for our autumn term meetings - lots of positives and things to work on to improve further. Our Team Captains have done a wonderful job of showing grown-ups to the right places 🌈

Year 6 experienced a Home Front WWII day in the academy today. They looked at rationing, reusing materials, propaganda posters and much more as part of the day to consolidate their learning this half term 🌈

Key Stage 1 enjoyed a visit from a magician this afternoon, thanks to our Friends of Churwell - they had an amazing time! 🌈

Year 6 have enjoyed a performance of Macbeth this afternoon as part of their English learning - it was gripping and the children followed the plot really well - what a great experience 🌈

Mr Bibb led a KS2 assembly this morning to discuss playtime and lunchtime activities, new games rules and how we have to be 'an ant' and work together to get things tidied up - a lovely assembly 🌈

Our Year 6 artists have been exploring colour, tone and contrast to create these impressive skyline silhouettes. The finished pieces are full of atmosphere and show fantastic perseverance and creativity 🌈

Early Years have had visits from a Scientist, Paramedic, and Vet this week. They talked about t their jobs and roles within the community. The children had great fun, and this has been a lovely enhancement to our 'people who help us' topic learning 🌈

All the harvest donations were collected this morning by Leeds South and East Foodbank - thank you to all the academy community who donated so generously 🌈

Year 3 enjoyed a Stone Age Day in the Forest School area to experience how people lived during this period of time 🌈

So lovely to welcome Nursery and Reception parents and carers to our Harvest Stay and Play sessions - lots of Autumn learning to try out together - the sessions were wonderful 🌈

A beautiful day at Churwell - the autumn leaves look beautiful in the sunshine 🌈
