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!
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!
On Tuesday night it was the turn of our Key Stage 2 children to enjoy their Christmas party, and what a fantastic evening it was! The children looked amazing, all dressed up in their finest outfits, and had a brilliant time dancing, laughing and playing together with their friends.
They also tucked into an amazing buffet, kindly donated by our wonderful parents — thank you so much for your generosity and support. It truly helped make the night extra special.
A lovely festive celebration and a great way to spread some Christmas cheer here at West Boldon Primary 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 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.
This week, our Art Club have been mastering all sorts of paper-folding techniques — bridges, zigzags, coils and spirals. Using their new skills, the children created some incredibly colourful 3D paper sculptures.
They’ve loved experimenting, and the results are absolutely fantastic!
This week, our school community has come together to remember and honour those who have served and sacrificed for our country.
Our Remembrance commemorations began on Sunday, when representatives from West Boldon Primary School proudly attended the Boldon Colliery War Memorial service. A beautiful wreath, made by our children, was laid in memory of all the soldiers who fought and died for us — a gesture of respect and gratitude from our whole school community.
Back in school, pupils reflected on the importance of remembrance through a special assembly, which shared stories of bravery, loss, and hope. This was followed by our two-minute silence at 11 o’clock, when the whole school gathered in the hall to pause, reflect, and remember together.
