Our Key Stage 2 children have had an amazing time during their Sports Week. They've had sessions in archery, bubble football, caving and even a climbing wall too! We're all looking forward to seeing what EYFS and Key Stage 1 get up to this week for their Sports Week!
Today we are excited to be holding our first ever whole-school Eid Day. This is part of our ongoing work surrounding Race, Diversity and Inclusion at the school. The children have enjoyed the opportunity to dress up, learn more about Eid and enjoy a delicious lunch linked to this celebration.
We are delighted to have started our free English classes for parents / carers this morning at Stamford Park Primary School. These are being delivered by our superb EAL team and one of our School Governors. For further information, please contact the school office.
Today, Years 1 and 2 took part in a Ramadan assembly held by Gazzala from the Altrincham and Hale Muslim Association. Gazzala shared with the children the importance of fasting for Muslims during the month of Ramadan. The children really enjoyed listening and asked some fantastic questions! Many thanks to the Altrincham and Hale Muslim Association for visiting our school.
In support of Down Syndrome Day, a group of parents completed a sponsored walk in the local area this morning. The children were also educated about Down Syndrome and how everyone is unique in a series of assemblies this week. Stamford Park Primary School is an inclusive school where we recognise and celebrate that everyone is different. Well done to all the parents who took part - we hope you've got your feet up this evening!
This week, Ms Esa and our EAL team, held our first ever EAL coffee morning. This was an opportunity for parents / carers to learn more about our EAL provision here in school, as well as to meet with other parents from the school. It was a huge success and we do hope more of you will join us at our summer term coffee morning.
We had a great day for World Book Day! We've had a visit from the Worst Witch, a poetry workshop and an author assembly too!
Our School Council and some other taste testers have been hard at work today trying a few new dishes that Rose (our fantastic Catering Manager) is hoping to put on our new spring menu here. Caribbean jerk chicken was a firm favourite, along with sweet potato wedges and alioli; the spinach and feta pie was equally popular with some tables! Thumbs up all round!
We are delighted to share our new Nursery outdoor area with you. This area is to the front of our Nursery and previously looked rather unloved, so we're excited that the children can now use it whenever we want. Mrs Williams and Mrs Stirrup are busy making a list of things they want to do here!
This week, eight Year 5 children took part in the annual Wellington Maths Competition. They worked as two teams, solving a variety of maths problems and puzzles which not only tested their maths skills but their team working skills. They all worked brilliantly together with one team coming second in the competition out of sixteen teams from other local schools. Very well done to them all!

We've had a wonderful few weeks of festive happenings here at Stamford Park Primary School. Our Nursery, Reception and Year 3 classes have shared some fantastic Christmas performances with their peers as well as their parents / carers too. We've had Christmas dinners, Christmas discos, Christmas jumper days and even a Christmas trip next week to the cinema for Key Stage 2! Our Infant children had a very special visitor earlier this week, and even his reindeers turned up too! Many thanks to our PTA for all their support in organising these many events. On behalf of everyone at Stamford Park Primary School, we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas!
This week our fabulous PTA team organised a visit from Stephen Gray, a professional football freestyler! He led a very exciting assembly and delivered workshops for the children, teaching them and the staff how to master football tricks and skills.
