The latest from Highfield Priory

A big "thank you" to class 6HM, who entertained us last Friday with a very colourful BBC Children in Need Assembly!

Highlighting why this is such an important event nationwide, the pupils explained how the charity helps children in our area. They also took a look at some of the difficulties we can face in our daily lives and how lucky we are that we have our families, friends and teachers to help us overcome these obstacles.

It was wonderful to see everyone dressed up in their imaginative outfits and the school was filled with colour and fun all day!

Thank you to Mrs Haythornthwaite and Ms. Macklam for organising such an important assembly and well done to all our children, parents and staff for supporting Children in Need! 🙂 🙂

We had a fun pj day in Pre-School last week as we celebrated @BBC Children in Need!

As well as dressing up, we also enjoyed painting some colourful Pudseys as we learnt about this important charity and the work it does supporting less-fortunate young people.Photos from Highfield Priory School and Nursery's post
