GREAT NORTH AIR AMBULANCE CLOTHING COLLECTION

Clothing Collection 25th & 26th April 2021

Thank you to everyone who helped to distribute and/or collect the bags and to everyone who donated items to our recent collection. Once again we were overwhelmed by the amazing response with a huge number of bags being filled, which required a second van to be sent out to collect up those which could not be taken in the first van.

We can confirm that we have raised the fantastic sum of £323.20 both for our school and for the Great North Air Ambulance.

Head Teachers Update (February 2021)

Dear Parents and families,

Following the exciting news that all schools are to reopen fully on March 8th, I feel I must congratulate the pupils at Irthington Village School! All of the staff are so proud of the children; their enthusiasm and keenness to engage with the online lessons and complete all the work set has been amazing! To be honest, delivering daily literacy, numeracy, spelling and phonics lessons have been the highlight of our day. Seeing the pupils’ eager faces and checking in with the children each day has been just lovely, plus this has been a really effective way to deliver targeted key skills for English, Maths and Spelling.

A special mention must be made to all the parents, grandparents and other family members who have fully supported the children and staff to facilitate the home learning. This has not been an easy task by any measure, but you have all done a remarkable job! So, well done and thank you!

Head Teachers Award

Head Teachers award this week goes to Elliot – ‘I have appreciated the well wishes and kind words daily, regarding my recovery. What a polite and thoughtful young man you are.’
