We are proud to serve our community and proud to be part of Accomplish Trust. We support children so that they are ready for school and ready for life.
Feeling very emotional having just had this photograph sent to me. Parents have put this touching and very much appreciated banner on our school tonight. You cannot imagine what this means to me and the staff. So kind and thoughtful. Thank you so much.
Thank you
@ANewChapterBks
for your box of books for our library. So pleased to be the lucky winner -£300 of books around inclusion and diversity. We can’t wait to get the books out for the children to start accessing.
Thank you to Jessie for your great rainbow poem. I’ve put a tune to it so you’ll have to give me your judge’s comments. 👍🏽👎🏻🤣Maybe you could write a rainbow song? I’m putting lots of other musical ideas on the website today. Love Mrs Brown
So grateful to our families for how they have followed our procedures when on our school site. You have made it safer for us all by socially distancing, changing your routines for our staggered start and finish times and using allocated waiting areas. In this together.
What an amazing day. We are now Stanley Grove Primary and Nursery Academy and part of

Such a proud and uplifting day and one our pupils will remember. Thank you to
@tompalmerauthor
for opening our Academy and working with our pupils today.
Thank you to Lucy from Stanley Library who came to say a huge well done to our school. We had the largest percentage of pupils taking part in the summer reading challenge this year. Fantastic effort and so proud they kept on reading during the summer holidays.

We all bid a sad farewell to Miss Cooper this morning after all her fabulous hard work here at Stanley Grove. We can’t wait to hear all about her next chapter.
We have spent the last 18 months developing our Oracy curriculum. Dislays have really had an impact on teacher’s planning and explicit teaching of oracy skills across the school. I see children using these skills due to the clear and visual support in every classroom.
Wonderful memories of the best day with my family! ❤️
Very special to share this with our communities today.
I am lucky to do a job I love with the most dedicated people.

Very excited to have our rainbow bench in position in school for everyone to enjoy. Donated by our wonderful Stanley Grove parents during the first lockdown in recognition of the Stanley Grove community working together to support our pupils and families. So kind. Thank you.
Yesterday, parents presented school with a rainbow picture, a book of supportive comments and money raised for a rainbow friendship bench to represent how our community has worked together. So proud of Stanley Grove family. Thank you so much.
A sneak preview to next week's assembly. We miss you and hope you enjoy the video. Keep watching for a special message and performance from the staff. Keep shining and reaching for the stars.

Both sets of junior leaders sharing and learning from each other. Our pupils got so much from the day and have so many notes to help with our next steps. True collaboration with children at the heart.

Yes it is official. October 1st - we are Stanley Grove Primary and Nursery Academy and part of Accomplish MAT. We have a fantastic day planned to celebrate with our pupils. Schools working together to create the best experience and opportunites for our pupils and community.
I have been a teacher for 25 years and a head teacher for 10 years, and today is the first time I have ever seen 100% attendance for all of our full time pupils. Amazing. Well done everyone.

The new bags are ready. I wonder who our year 6 reading leaders will pick to have a reading leader role in their class?The applications are in and the Junior Reading Leaders are shortlisting ready to announce next week.
We are incredibly proud of our children who have won the Wakefield Summer Reading Challenge. They have kept reading through the summer showing their love of reading and we couldn't be happier. We are now looking forward to a visit from Liz Million, illustrator and Author.
Some good chicken related news in these difficult times. After a bit of a tricky first day where Midnight ended up in the pond (!) our lovely school chickens have settled into their temporary home. They are still laying eggs and are enjoying a garden full of worms. 🐔🌈
So much to take away from today with the brilliant

Years 3-5 are really enjoying learning our specially written planet savers song by

Well done to the children in Class 1 that have read at least four times last week. They are feeling proud at receiving a headteachers sticker this morning.
Huge thank you and well done to our children and adults this week. It has been lovely to see you return and thank you for following new routines and timings. Great to have you back. Looking forward to seeing Early Years returning tomorrow.
Class 1 enjoyed our local visit to Stanley Community Orchard, which is currently being established. We worked together to plant an apple tree, which was then marked with a commemorative plaque.
A big thank you to all involved!
Young Voices 2024. Three exhausted adults this morning, 30 weary children but these faces make it all worthwhile. Huge thanks to Ms Shaw and Mrs Lockwood for giving up their time to help Mrs Brown.

A couple of shots from the Outwood Together Cross Country event. Fantastic effort by the children and three of our runners have progressed to the next round.
What a fantastic experience for our children today. Hannah Cockcroft MBE visited our school and was a real inspiration to us all. Thank you so much for taking the time out to see us.

Have you ever wondered where the Elves went after they received their new clothes from the Shoemaker and his wife? C2 have been reading this book and created houses, dance halls, aquariums and other beautiful places for the Elves to visit in their finery.
Amazing event today to say thank you to the pupils who organised their leg of the Climate relay. Children making a difference and getting their voice heard.
This photo says it all. Stanley Grove loves reading! All these amazing readers helped us win the libraries’ summer reading challenge for the SECOND YEAR RUNNING! We can’t wait to meet our author and receive our prizes! Thank you to our wonderfully supportive families and to Lucy!
Our Eco Club delivered a fabulous whole school assembly about the Wakefield Schools Climate Relay. Special guest Glynn Humphries Wakefield's Director for Environment and Climate Change was impressed by the children's confidence and passion.
So proud of Elise, donating her lovely long hair to the little princess trust. In her words “my hair will grow back the poorly little girls won’t”
