BRADFORD & BINGLEY COMPETITION
Congratulations to Anna-Lisa Smith Y4 who won the Bradford & Bingley Wigan colouring competition. Earlier in the week Anna-Lisa received her gifts of a book token and piggy bank and for the school a cheque to the value of £250. Thank you to Bradford & Bingley for their continued support.
ANTIBULLYING WEEK
This week nationally has been anti bullying week, this has provided an opportunity in school to stress the importance of being kind to each other and enforcing further our caring culture. Yesterday we had a very special assembly when a representative from the police fundraising clubs Mr Jones, Mr Petrie from Tote as well as Mr Baker came into school to present each child with a book all about the importance of not bullying others. Many thanks from St Paul?s to Tote for sponsoring this initiative. The local press were on hand to take photographs - so see if you can spot us in the newspaper.
