Unfortunately, we have had to postpone our Open Evening that was due to take place on Wednesday 10th November. Apologies to those families who were looking forward to visiting us. Mrs Nicholas will be in touch with a new date very soon.

The following information has been shared with all local schools. A new gymnastics academy is now running at The Valley Leadership Academy as a partnership between schools and the Rossendale Leisure Trust. This is a fantastic opportunity for your child to receive gymnastics training. All the details of when the sessions are taking place and how to book are included on the flyer below.

Wow, what a fabulous Friday we had in school! Although the weather wasn't kind to us we still had a fabulous morning.  We had four activities to complete - den building for a teddy bear, raft building, Autumn wand making and portraits with natural materials.  Take a look at our photographs to see how much fun we had.

Resounding congratulations are being sent today to Miss Collins, Mr Hindle and our amazing Northern footballers. Thanks to the amazing hard work and sportsmanship of our whole school team, three of our footballers have been selected to play for the Rossendale School District Football Team. We are so proud of you all.

Today our Key Stage 2 classes have all taken part in creative activities based around Halloween. The children enjoyed a variety of Art, Drama, Music and Computing activities. The children have had an amazing time. It was so lovely to see all the happy smiling faces of the learners in Key Stage 2! Take a look at the class pages to learn more!

Today our Year Reception, Year One, Year Two and Year Three children had an amazing, if rather soggy time, taking part in Welly Friday activities including Den Building; Raft Building; Wand Making and Natural Portrait Making. 

Our Year Four, Year Five and Year Six children all had fun with art and drama. Make sure you head to the class website pages to discover more about the fun the children had. 

Our Kindness Tree never ceases to make me smile every time I walk in to the school hall. Even though it is Autumn time and the leaves should be falling off the tree I always notice that more kindness leaves have appeared.

The children at Northern are amazing and even though it has been an extremely tiring half term they still know how important it is to keep making their friends smile.

We are looking ahead to Reception class admissions for 2022. If you have a child that has a 4th birthday between 1st September 2021 and 31st August 2022 you must apply for a primary school place for them before 15th January 2022. All applications are processed online via Lancashire County Council  (www.lancashire.gov.uk/schools).
