Joy Lane Primary School

We believe in creating a culture of kindness at Joy Lane and our children learn to treat others with respect and generosity. Here we have one of our children in Year 2 who made this wonderfully kind thank you letter. What an excellent role model! Jen, this is so kind and thoughtful. Your parents and all of us in school are very proud of you. You have made the catering staff feel very happy. Thank you

CAKE SALE FOR ENDANGERED ANIMALS Our lovely Year one pupil Bay, organised her very own cake sale to raise money for the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF). This charity helps to protect endangered animals. This is a topic she feels very strongly about after seeing a show by the @theanimalguyz highlighting how many amazing animals are in danger and need our help. With help from some of her friends, she raised a massive £155! Wow ! Thank you to everyone for your donations.

Today, a group of children from across Key Stage 2 joined the residents of Harrier Lodge care home for a morning of painting. We look forward to more joint events in the new academic year!
