Happy Easter!


Our Passion Play

A group of 20 children from Year 1 to Year 6, participated in a Passion Play at school on Maundy Thursday, and re enacted the final hours of Jesus' life, death and resurrection. Scenes were acted out in the school driveway, the hall, the shared area, a classroom and the playground. The audience followed the action as it unfolded in different locations around the school.

The garden of Gethsemane....

Crowds greet Jesus as he makes his way into Jerusalem.....

 Members of the Council deciding what to do about Jesus.
 Jesus, telling His disciples the parable of the Good Samaritan.
                           The Last Supper.
          The Crucifixion scene in the playground.
          The Resurrection scene in the hall.
A massive thank you to Mrs Muralee for writing and directing the play and to all the children who learnt their lines and solo parts so well. It was a powerful and moving performance about the most important event of the year for many Christians all over the World.

Mother's Day Service


Thank you, children, for all your thoughts, ideas and hard work in performing a special assembly dedicated to Mums everywhere. Many of our Christian Values were mentioned in our messages about our generous, friendly, compassionate, loyal and forgiving Mums. We wish them a very happy Mother's Day.



Hi Five Netball

The last match of the season and fantastic team work, skills and co-operation shown by our Y6 and Y5 Hi Five Netball players. Well done, everyone, and thank you to Mrs CC for her hard work and dedication in coaching and mentoring the team.

Congratulations to our Y5 Dance in a Day competitors. They learnt a very complex dance routine in the space of only a few hours to perform in front of Mums and Dads in Brigshaw Sports Hall.


Thank you to Brigshaw students Charlotte and Ella!

We were overwhelmed by the number of entries for our Dress a Potato competition to celebrate World Book Day. Thank you to everyone who contributed....we had a fantastic time in school sharing our favourite books, reading them and then talking about the characters children had made out of potatoes. Well done to Finlay,Maisy, Roxy and Lilly who each have won a £5.00 book voucher to spend in Waterstones.
