West Boldon lunches are 5 stars!

25th January 2026Miss K. Wilkinson

The good news just keeps on coming!

We’re absolutely delighted to share that Mandy and her fantastic team received their Scores on the Doors hygiene inspection today — and once again achieved a perfect 5/5 rating!

This is an outstanding result and a real credit to the hard work, dedication and high standards that Mandy and the team maintain every single day. It’s so well deserved, and we’re incredibly proud of them.

Well done, team — thank you for everything you do to keep our school community safe and well fed!

A Brilliant Start to Our Brand New Breakfast Club!

7th May 2025Fiona Goodwin

What a fantastic first week for our new Breakfast Club!

We’ve had nearly 50 children each day enjoying a calm, positive start to their school day. After a healthy, nutritious breakfast, they’ve loved playing board games indoors and making the most of the sunshine outside- building friendships and having fun!

No need to book – just turn up!

Breakfast club runs everyday from 8:00am to 8:25am via the main car park gate.

Come on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday – or all week! It’s totally flexible, and there’s no limit to how many days you can attend.

We’re so please with how well its gone this week and know it’s a big help for our families. Thank you for your support!

Christmas Dinner Day!

Christmas Lunch at West Boldon Primary isn’t just the best in Boldon, not just the best  in South Tyneside…it’s the BEST IN THE WORLD!

It was also lovely to gather some of the children to sing We Wish You a Merry Christmas as a heartfelt thank you to our amazing catering team. What a special moment to celebrate their hard work and festive spirit!

A huge thank you to Mandy and the whole team for making Christmas magic happen on a plate. You’ve truly outdone yourselves!

A huge thank you to our amazing West Boldon Primary Community!
