During the Autumn term pupils in KS2 have had the opportunity to take part in an After School Boxing session every Wednesday with Dave from ‘Boxing for Better’. They have enjoyed learning the skills of boxing as well as teamwork games whilst having lots of fun.
A fond farewell to all our Year Six pupils as the sun sets on their unforgettable journey through primary school. With bittersweet smiles and brimming eyes, they stand at the precipice of new beginnings, ready to soar into the vast unknown.
Congratulations, year six leavers. Farewell, and may your future be filled with endless possibilities.
Learners have enjoyed their first session of Boxing For Better, a new afterschool club which has begun to operate for KS2 pupils on a Wednesday afternoon until 4:30pm.
We want to be able to offer everybody the opportunity to take part in boxing training, and enjoy a positive experience from all of our programmes.
We are committed to listening to the needs of our participants and adapting our sessions so that they benefit as much as possible. We want to remove any barriers which stop people from realising their potential and aiming high.
We want to provide opportunities in areas other than just boxing so that we can unleash the maximum potential of our participants.

Learners across KS2 have been working hard with Ms Gail Hunt to put together a wonderful nativity scene that has today gone on proud display at the St Philips Church, Atherton.
Well done to all pupils involved.
8 children in total from across school went and took part in an Interactive performance. They all listened intently, joined in with the activities and could answer questions related to the story of Anousha.
‘Anousha has been signed up to play in her local rugby tournament. There is just one problem… she doesn’t know anything about rugby! After her Grandpa’s advice proves less than helpful, she decides to visit her local library to do some research, but there is so much information; it all seems very confusing. Come and help Anousha as she learns how to become brave, strong and confident, ready for her first Rugby League match’.
This morning in conjunction with our Religious Education topic of Weddings, our KS2 classes have enjoyed making a special friendship promise in a ceremony organised by their teachers.
Six pupils from Rowan Tree represented Greater Manchester in the regional Boccia finals. Their skills as well as their confidence improved throughout the competition! We didn’t win it this time but all pupils revived a certificate and medal for taking part! Well done!
Pupils from Maple Class went to visit Hope school to play a game of New Aged Kurling. They worked together as a team and enjoyed making new friends. In the end the result was a draw with hope winning 2 and Rowan Tree also winning 2! Well done everyone!
