It has been a less-than-satisfactory school week with a bank holiday and then partial closure due to strike action again on Tuesday. Nevertheless, we still managed to squeeze in some mountain biking for Y5 at Otley Chevin and a trip to Leeds on Thursday for 4HB. I postponed a further trip to Leeds today Read…

In the summer term we have lots more school trips as the weather is supposed to improve. This week, we have had Reception to Tropical World and Y2 on the longer trip to the West Yorkshire Wildlife Park. Year 4 pupils attended a skipping festival (and won) and Y5 attended a cricket event (and Read…

I toured the school with prospective family this morning and every classroom was a delight: happy, engaged children playing and learning. The family really liked what they saw, commenting – in a positive way they assured me Read…

I usually start these letters/blogs with a positive statement about what a good week it has been. This week is different: a two day strike that is a miserable thing to do and something that I hope we don’t feel compelled to repeat. There has been a bit of progress with the NHS dispute Read…

Farfield enjoys the snow!
We were one of a small minority of schools that managed to stay open today. We had about 50% children’s attendance. We did do ‘normal-ish’ lessons but the children also had some extended playtimes in the snow. They had a lovely time in perfect conditions. Here are some photos from Y1-6:

A snowy week! These sorts of weeks are always a bit stressful but can be good fun too! I am glad we stayed open but we only had 40-50% attendance across the school. Almost all the teachers got in, but some staff couldn’t make it – sometimes due to their own childcare issues. Most Read…
