Celebration Assembly 4th July 2025

4th July 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

This morning, we held our Star of the Week Golden Coin Celebration Assembly and it was absolutely wonderful to hear how so many of our children are consistently reaching our school’s Gold STANDARDS—both in their behaviour and their attitudes to learning.

Well done to all of our shining stars this week!

A quick reminder: Next week is a very important one in the school calendar. It’s our Final Assessment Week, where teachers will carry out a series of tests to measure the progress children have made throughout the academic year.

On Tuesday, we will also be sending home end-of-year school reports, which will include the class teachers for next year. Please keep an eye out for these in your child’s bag!

Let’s all keep up the great effort and finish the year strong!

Celebration Assembly 27th June 2025

27th June 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

At West Boldon Primary School, we love recognising the amazing achievements of our pupils—and this week was no exception!

Our Stars of the Week, chosen by their teachers, have been shining brightly through their outstanding behaviour, brilliant effort in class, and kind-hearted support for others. From showing resilience in learning to being wonderful role models, each of these children has made us incredibly proud. Well done to all of you!

A special congratulations goes to our Golden Coin winner this week! This lucky pupil was personally selected by our headteacher, Mrs Garr, for consistently showing our school values. As part of their reward, they got to choose a book from our fabulous book vending machine—a special treat that celebrates a love of reading and a job well done.

We’re so proud of every child who continues to embody our Gold Standard Behaviour and Gold Standard Work. Keep up the fantastic effort, West Boldon!
