It was fantastic to see all of our children back in school after the Christmas break. The smiles, enthusiasm and positive attitudes have made it a great start to the new term.
We were also really pleased to hear just how many children are meeting our school Gold Standards, which we celebrated in our Friday Celebration Assembly. Well done to everyone for such a positive return to school – keep it up!
After a busy week, it was wonderful to take time to celebrate our children’s amazing behaviour and recognise just how many of them have met our Gold Standards
This all took place in our usual Friday Star of the Week Golden Coin Celebration, and it was lovely to hear how so many children truly shone — especially during a week when we welcomed our special Ofsted visitors into school. We couldn’t be prouder of them.
We are also very thankful to John Soulsby, who came into school to work with a group of our Key Stage 2 boys who have been learning all about how to grow giant vegetables. They absolutely loved asking him questions, and it was the highlight of their day.
Well done to everyone — a fantastic end to a very busy week at West Boldon Primary School!
We love Physical Fridays in Year 1/2! These sessions help us develop both fine and gross motor skills, which are so important for confident writing, maths and everyday learning.
Through fun, hands-on activities such as threading, playdough, peg challenges, phonics snakes and ladders, building number lines and picking up small objects, the children strengthen their hands and fingers while also building coordination, control, focus and teamwork
All of this supports better pencil control, clearer letter formation and growing confidence in writing – and best of all, the children are fully engaged, learning through movement, play and fun… just the way we like it!
A huge thank you from our School Council!
We were incredibly grateful to receive over 20 kind and generous food hampers from three local churches — Sacred Heart, St Gregory’s and St Oswald’s in South Shields.
Thanks to the generosity of these church communities, Miss Swales and Mr McCormack were able to deliver the hampers to families within our school community, helping to spread kindness and support at this time of year.
We are truly thankful for the care, compassion and generosity shown. It means such a lot to our families
What a fantastic (and festive!) start to the day at West Boldon Primary School with our Christmas Chaos Assembly this morning!
We celebrated our termly Gold Standard winners – a huge well done to all of the children who have worked so hard this term.
Every child was then treated to a selection box, kindly given as a Christmas gift from the school, before the excitement really built for our 96% attendance prize draw…
A massive congratulations to Ellie Mae, whose name was drawn out! She was absolutely delighted – and so were we.
What a brilliant way to spread some Christmas cheer across the school!
We had our termly Rock Steady concert this morning at West Boldon Primary School, and what a fantastic performance it was! From Last Christmas to Walking on Sunshine, the children treated us to a brilliantly diverse range of songs.
The progress we’ve seen over the past few months has been incredible. Not only has their musical ability grown, but their confidence, teamwork and stage presence have absolutely shone through.
We are so proud of every single child involved — well done, rock stars!
What a magical day!
Our KS1 children had a wonderful Christmas party filled with smiles, dancing, games and festive fun.
What a lovely way to celebrate our final week at school before the Christmas break!
What an amazing lunch service that was!
Today we enjoyed our annual West Boldon Christmas Lunch, and what a fantastic festive feast it was! Some parents were even lucky enough to tie this in with our weekly Look and Lunch, giving them the perfect opportunity to tour our wonderful school, see our children working hard in class, and then sample Mandy and her team’s incredible Christmas dinner.
We were also thrilled to welcome Ethel, who came back from retirement for her once-a-year visit to help out — a real Christmas treat for us all!
Take a look at these photos and we’re sure you’ll agree that Mandy and her amazing team truly make the best Christmas dinner in all of South Tyneside. A huge well done to them for their hard work, dedication, and for ensuring our children enjoy delicious, nutritious meals every single day.
Another fantastic community event organised by the West Boldon Residents Association!
Our wonderful West Boldon Primary School Choir were proud to attend and take part in Carols Around the Tree once again this year. This tradition has been going strong for over 20 years, and it’s always a highlight of the festive season.
We’re so pleased to continue supporting this much-loved event and celebrating our strong community spirit.
