Friday 21 November 2025

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!

These two Year 1 friends love reading. In fact, they love it so much that they sometimes even take their book outside to share at lunchtime!

Amazing attendance

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.

Moortown Primary School, Leeds
