Skip Around The World Challenge – October 2025
Skip Around the World is a whole-of-school challenge that integrates physical activity with teaching and learning. This initiative focuses on participation, inclusion and fun with lots of learning opportunities along the way. All classes, at all levels were encouraged to build a short skipping break in to their daily routines, across the 3 weeks of the challenge. Working together as a class, and as a school, our combined skips allowed us to travel to many of the world’s most famous locations! The pupils really enjoyed the event and they improved their skipping skills enormously!

Active Schools Week 2025 Day 5
Active Schools Week 2025 was brought to a close with our annual Sports Day with a GAA twist.
A big thank you to James, Aoife and the rest of the team for putting on a great day of activities on the community pitch.
It is wonderful to have such great facilities on our doorstep.
Active Schools Week 2025 Day 4
Active Schools Week Day 4 marked the much anticipated arrival of the annual Teachers v Pupils challenge. This year we decided to hold a number of doubles badminton matches between the teachers and 6th class. After a number of closely fought games it was all square in the standings. There was no other option but to hold a tie breaker! In the end the 6th class took the win much to the delight of the pupils who had done so well in creating an electric atmosphere!
To finish the day we were delighted to take delivery of our Active Schools Flag on successful completion of the 2 year programme. Our ASF status will remain valid for 3 years. In the interim years between flags schools with ASF status are asked to:
- Prioritise a different PE strand for further development every year.
- Participate in annual ASF initiatives including the ‘Active Break Every Day’ and ‘Run a Day’ challenges.
- Active School Week
- Promote the use of the Active School Walkway throughout the year.
- Update the ASF section on the school website on a regular basis.
We look forward to meeting these challenges over the next number of years.
Thank you very much to Mr Hanly and Mr Hardiman for overseeing this worthwhile initiative.
Wellbeing Week Day 4
Fun Friday was the perfect way to end our first Wellbeing Week, with three lovely events to round things off. Marion from Blissful Buddies led a calming mindfulness session with each class group, giving the children a chance to relax and unwind. The fun continued as the children brought in games from home to share and play with their classmates. There was lots of fun and laughter to be seen and heard!
Our final treat was a visit from the ice cream van, and everyone enjoyed a yummy ice cream to celebrate a fantastic week! A big thank you to Paul and Naomi Taylor for kindly treating the children to this special surprise — it was the perfect way to end a fun-filled day!
Wellbeing Week Day 3
Thoughtful Thursday brought out our creative side! The whole school took part in a Drop Everything and Draw activity in the hallway. It was so enjoyable and fun, with children of all ages expressing themselves through art and excitedly sharing their drawings with one another.
