Free Trees

This Saturday morning between 10am and 1pm, Bradford Council are giving away a free tree to all Bradford residents.  If you go to the entrance of Cliffe Castle in Keighley, there will be Silver Birch, Downy Birch, Scotch Pine and Crab Apple trees available for you to choose from.  This is part of the #TreeforEveryChildBradford project.

The Vikings Are Coming!

Next week, Years 3 and 4 will take part in a historically themed day of learning.  Each crew will have a full day to dress like a dreng, haggle like a merchant and fight like a Viking.  We will share photographs and feedback from the pupils in next week’s Parkland Post!

We hope you have a wonderful weekend and that you are able to get back to nature whether you spend time in your garden or go to a local park.  If you do anything that you wish to share with the staff at school, please remember you can do this by sending a photograph of your child taking part in the Skills Builder task or something else which they enjoy taking part in such as being part of a football team.  We will see you bright and early on Monday morning!

After School Clubs

All of our clubs are back on from next Monday, please see the website for the list of clubs.

Contact school if you would like a place on any of clubs, please be aware some are already full be we can add you to the waiting list.

Covid Isolation

Starting from Monday 31st the covid guidance for school will change.

If a child is either showing symptoms or has a confirmed positive test (lateral flow or PCR) only they will need to isolate and stay home from school, siblings will not have to isolate. We will be monitoring the situation closely and this may change depending on the number of cases. Work is being uploaded regularly to your childs online learning platform.

Please call us if your child has symptoms or has a positive test, if you need any advice or need to know how long your childs isolation will last please call 119 or use the NHS covid app.

Thank you.

Meet Miss Griffiths

Hi everyone! I am Miss Griffiths and I am the new Year 1 teacher and I am very excited to be starting out my teaching career here at Parkland. The last few weeks have been lovely getting to know my new class and I am  looking forward to the rest of the year.

Outside of school, I have always been a very sporty person. I have grown up taking dance, gymnastics and cheerleading lessons and always loved being upside down or flipping around. I have also taken part in lots of productions with my dance school; most of them we were lucky enough to perform at St George’s Hall in Bradford.

You can see our full staff list on the website in the ‘Meet our Team!’ section on the home page.
