This week, the year 6 have completed their statutory attainment tests (SATs). They have all done a brilliant job, representing themselves and the school amazingly well. They took the assessments in their stride and didn't complain one bit, demonstrating resilience and determination throughout. Well done to our amazing year 6 children!
We are very proud of the fundraising efforts of Arnie from year 6 who will be running a marathon (26.2 miles) throughout January for Prostate Cancer UK. This is a charity that is very close to Arnie's heart and means a lot to him and his family. So far, Arnie has raised a whopping £596 and he's still going strong! If you would like to help Arnie raise money, you can donate to his fundraising efforts by clicking on either of the images below to link to his 'Run the Month' page.

It was great to see the children getting involved in competitive sport with schools from across the cluster and having a great time doing it too. Well done, Team!
Greetings from the final night of White Hall! As you can see from the pictures, the children have had a very busy day again today! Some groups visited the Roaches in Staffordshire for a day of climbing and bouldering, whilst others went to Miller's Dale to abseil down the gigantic viaduct! Around the centre, the children tackled the climbing wall, the ropes course and the famous zip line. The children have all had a fantastic time so far, taking on challenges with confidence and determination. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

It's Wednesday at White Hall and the children are having a great time! We're half way through the week but the pace hasn't slackened. As you will see from the photos below, the children are pushing themselves to improve their You 22 skills- particularly team work, resilience, confidence and independence. We're very proud of all they have achieved so far but they have still have some big challenges ahead of them!

What a day at White Hall! The groups have been out and about all over Derbyshire today, with the children climbing at the Roaches, walking along the stepping at Cheedale before abseiling at Millers Dale viaduct and stream scrambling around Elwood Hall. We then played the famous a 'Haggis Bandits' around White Hall's grounds with the children working in teams to buy and sell haggis for a profit whilst avoiding the crafty haggis bandit who live in the woods. I think they'll sleep tonight... we hope!
