Last week was Children in Need day. Our non-uniform day raised £239.61 – thank you to all who contributed.
At Moortown Primary, we love reading!
Amazing attendance
- The national attendance rate for primary schools is 95.4% (that’s for Autumn 1 term).
- Our attendance rate is 97.3% (that’s up until 18 November).
It’s great to see that our attendance so high – let’s keep it that way!

Trim Trail
In case you missed this news…
Over the half-term break, we had a trim trail installed on The Green. We didn’t want to use lots of the lovely green space but we also wanted to introduce some equipment that would enhance both play and physical development.
A big thank you to the PTA who paid for this to happen – all of their fundraising was much appreciated and it’s great when we can pay for things like this.
Have a happy and healthy weekend.
