At this early stage of the school year Staveley, Boroughbridge and Kirkhammerton schools can proudly say that each and every child in their school (on Monday 16th September) has now completed a competitive fixture against another school! All three schools competed in a small schools cluster running competition at Boroughbridge Primary School. The fantastic weather matched with amazing facilities, determined children and awesome staff cheering on made for a fantastic day competition and we cannot wait for the next competition for this cluster!

Mr Atkinson has started a Sports Wellbeing Club at Richard Taylors Primary School. Children are invited to the club to learn more about sport and how this can benefit/effect the body. At Wednesday's first club the children were introduced to 4 muscles, learnt about these muscles and how to stretch them, and also worked out their heart rate and understood why it goes up and down. All of this learning is active and fun so the children who may not all enjoy sport or may not want to learn about the body, don't even know they are doing it.

This package is aimed to develop the class teachers PE knowledge and delivery as well as the Childrens development. We look forward to seeing some fantastic rugby players by October!

From everyone at Sporting Influence to everyone we have taught throughout the year, a MASSIVE WELL DONE! We have seen some amazing development, outstanding teamwork, unbelievable respect but most importantly we have seen young children grow a year older and more mature! To all the children leaving us and moving onto Year 7 - look after yourself, stay safe, continue being amazing and don't forget the values both ourselves and your schools have taught you. You will all become something special one day, put your mind to it and give it your all!
