KS1 Harvest Festival

Today learners in KS1 celebrated Harvest. They sang, danced and said thank you for our food by putting our food donations into a hamper ready for it to be delivered to our local Care Home to thank staff for the fantastic work they do and to share with their residents. 

This was a fantastic achievement for all to sit in the hall and join in with the celebration. Well done everyone.

Thank you to all for your kind donations to make this hamper possible.

CAFT 2023… Take Two!

Rowan Tree Primary School’s Year Four students had an unforgettable experience during their second residential trip of 2023, visiting the Children’s Adventure Farm Trust (CAFT). Located in the scenic Booth Bank Farm, CAFT is dedicated to providing free programs for children from across the North West.

The children CAFT serves have diverse abilities, from severe disabilities to those who’ve experienced trauma. CAFT creates a safe space where these kids can simply be children again, enjoying laughter, play, and cherished moments.

CAFT’s approach is truly special. They treat each child as an individual, ensuring that disabilities don’t hinder participation. Our students from Rowan Tree Primary School displayed exceptional behavior throughout the trip.

We’ve captured some of our favorite moments in the photos below, showcasing the pure joy and magic of CAFT’s work. It was a trip filled with heartwarming memories. May CAFT continue to be a source of happiness for our remarkable pupils, for years to come.

Rowan Tree Primary School Shines at 2023 Believe Sports Awards

Wigan Borough’s sporting community gathered in exhilaration on October 7th, 2023, for the prestigious 2023 Believe Sports Awards. The event, hosted at The Edge, celebrated the outstanding contributions, achievements, and exceptional dedication of local sports enthusiasts, from rising stars to unsung heroes. The night was made even more special with the presence of British Olympic legend Eddie ‘the Eagle’ Edwards, who presented the coveted awards to the deserving winners.

Although Rowan Tree Primary School didn’t secure the ultimate victory, the school had every reason to be proud. “Boxing For Better,” an initiative within our school, achieved a remarkable feat by securing second place recognition for their outstanding contributions to our community.

School staff whom have ran various sports events were invited to attend the event alongside Kathryn Oliver our Deputy Head. Since joining our school, Kathryn has been at the forefront of spearheading a remarkable array of sports events that promote inclusivity and involve specialist provisions across Wigan, as well as fostering a strong sporting culture within our school.
