Due to unforeseen circumstances, the school disco which was provisionally arranged for the 11th December, has been postponed and has now been re-arranged as a New Year Disco to be held on Friday the 15th January 2010. Details will be sent out when we return in January.

Thanks to all the parents who came to our coffee morning earlier this term.

We would like to invite all parents to a coffee afternoon, straight after school on Thursday 7th January 2010. There will be a DVD for the children to watch whilst you can chat informally to members of staff and other parents and enjoy a hot drink and a biscuit!

Apologies but the above event has had to be postponed due to the adverse weather conditions.  We will reschedule and post a new date as soon as possible.

Pupils at York Road are challenged most mornings when they arrive in class with a “Thinking Skills” challenge, which they complete during register time. The problem might be based on numeracy, literacy, lateral thinking, being creative or even a philosophical discussion!

We thought parents at home might enjoy to try some of these at home, with their children. So we have a new section on the website: Thinking Problem of the Week! We hope to update this page regularly during term time, so that every week a fresh new challenge will appear. Follow the link on the right of the homepage or click here for this week’s poser.
