Year 5 Bikeability

11th September 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Some of our Year 5 students had a fantastic few days mastering their riding skills with Bikeability. They not only developed confidence on two wheels but also learned important road safety and proficient cycling techniques. Well done to everyone who took part!

The instructors were so impressed that they came to see Mrs Garr and Mr McCormack at the end of the two days. They told us this has been the best group of children they’ve worked with in a long time – their listening skills and keenness to learn were amazing!

This makes us incredibly proud as a school and will be celebrated in our Friday Star of the Week Assembly. A huge well done, Year 5 – you’ve done West Boldon proud!

Welcome to West Boldon – our new Reception and Nursery children!

11th September 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

A HUGE thank you to all the amazing parents and carers who joined us this morning as we welcomed our brand-new Reception and Nursery children into West Boldon Primary!

It was wonderful to see you spending time in school, enjoying Mandy’s delicious catering and sharing a meal with your children. Moments like these make the start of their journey even more special.

We can’t wait for all the fun, learning and adventures ahead. Exciting times are just beginning!

Westies Wraparound Cover

11th September 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Our brand-new Westies After-School Wraparound Cover has been a big hit!

The children have had so much fun since we launched — from exploring the school grounds, riding bikes, and playing in the Reception garden, to enjoying some delicious evening cooking with Miss Black and Miss Fitzsimons.

Westies runs five days a week until 5.45pm, giving children a safe, fun, and engaging space after school.

If you’d like to book your child a place, please contact Julie in the main school office.

We can’t wait to see even more children enjoying all that Westies has to offer!

 

Introducing… Our New House Captains!

11th September 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

It’s always great to see democracy in action at West Boldon Primary!

Democracy is one of our key values that we teach across the school all year round, and one of the best ways we put this into practice is through our annual House Captain and Vice-Captain elections.

Our Year 5 and 6 pupils did a fantastic job presenting their thoughtful and well-crafted speeches to their house colours. Then it was over to the children to cast their votes ️– a brilliant example of democracy in action.

These roles carry real responsibility and show all of our pupils how important it is to have a voice and make it count.

What a fab first week back at West Boldon Primary! The children have settled in brilliantly, and this was really shown today in our usual Friday Star of the Week assembly
It was wonderful to hear how so many of our pupils are already meeting our Gold Standards. A huge well done to everyone who was celebrated today!
Special congratulations to our Golden Coin winner, who was especially pleased with her new book all about the rainforests.
We’re so proud of the amazing start the children have made – here’s to another great week ahead!

Back to School 2025!

3rd September 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

What a wonderful first day back at West Boldon Primary!

The school is once again filled with joy, laughter, and lots of smiling faces. The children have already settled back into their learning and are busy chatting with their friends about all the exciting things they got up to this summer.

It’s so good to have them back – our school feels complete again.

Colour Run 2025

18th July 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

We keep saying we do things a bit differently here at West Boldon… and today proved it more than ever!

Who needs a traditional sports day when you can have a full-on, laughter-filled, joy-packed COLOUR RUN instead?

This was our very first attempt at something like this – and WOW, what a success! The atmosphere was electric, the smiles were endless, and we’re still not sure whether the children, staff, or parents had more fun. Some pupils even snuck through the course three or four times because they were having that much fun!

A huge, huge thank you to all of our amazing staff who organised the day and made it so special. It’s safe to say this was one of the best days of the year at West Boldon Primary.

We hope everyone’s managing to get the paint out – although those colourful memories might just stick around a little longer.

Staff BBQ Celebration

18th July 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Today we enjoyed an amazing staff barbecue at lunchtime – a small thank you for the huge amount of hard work every single member of our team puts in throughout the year. The sun even made a perfect appearance right on time!

At West Boldon Primary, we’re incredibly lucky to have such a dedicated and caring team of staff who go above and beyond every day to support, nurture, and inspire our children. Their commitment doesn’t go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for all they do.

Thank you, Team West Boldon – you’re the heart of our school!

Gold Award Success!

18th July 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that West Boldon Primary has once again achieved the Gold Standard for PE Achievement!

This award is a testament to the tireless work of our amazing PE Lead, Mr Cairns, the enthusiasm of every single child in school, and the dedication of our brilliant teachers and external coaches who make PE an integral part of our curriculum all year round.

At West Boldon, we believe in developing the whole child — not just exam scores, but confidence, teamwork, fitness and wellbeing too.
