Cross-Country finals…

Earls Barton Primary School recently celebrated a remarkable achievement at the cross-country tournament held at Croyland Park, Wellingborough. We took 48 enthusiastic children from the KS2 age range to compete, and their hard work and determination paid off as we secured first place overall among all the participating schools. This victory is a testament to our continued success in recent years, showcasing the dedication and talent of our young athletes.

The children truly ran their socks off, with many of them winning individual medals and qualifying for finals events. Their outstanding performances not only brought pride to our school but also highlighted the importance of teamwork and perseverance as the children supported one another in their individual events.

Building work / extension

Exciting progress is being made on our school's building work! New carpets have been installed in three KS1/EYFS classrooms, providing a fresh and comfortable environment for our youngest learners. The first foundations for the new build are now laid, and the footprint of the new structure is clearly visible. The crane has begun lifting parts of the foundations and flooring into place, marking a significant step forward in the construction process.

The car park is now complete, with half of the spaces handed over for staff use. We kindly ask everyone to be mindful of parking around the school site during drop-off and pick-up times, as we understand it can be a tricky period with the ongoing building work. Despite the temporary inconvenience, we are thrilled about the progress and eagerly anticipate the opening of five new classrooms next academic year. This expansion will provide even more opportunities for our students to learn and grow in a modern, well-equipped environment.
