Dear Parents/Carers,
Today, in our star of the week assembly, we celebrated a special award – The Unsworth Pride award. This award is dedicated to a former colleague, Mrs Unsworth, beloved and respected by the school community for her championing of kindness, courage and charity. This year’s winner was Lily in Y2, who has shown unbelievable courage and kindness when faced with such adversity. You are and always will be an inspiration to us all, Lily! See pics on our socials.
We are extremely proud of all our Y6 pupils of whom have worked so hard this year and are now coming towards their final term with us. They were amazing during sats week and I believe (from first hand accounts and photos!) that they had a blast at Boreatton Park. Thankyou to the staff for giving their time to make it happen. Next stop London with Y5!
Summer term has seen our football and netball teams in action, both playing with respect and enthusiasm. The netball team are currently unbeaten - hoping to finish the season as invincibles!
Finally, it turns out that the parents weren’t quite as smart as their Year 2 children…but it was close 🙂! Thanks to our Y2 families for attending and making yesterday such a fun afternoon.

Online Safety Hub
As you know, pupil online safety has been in the spotlight recently. It's always worth having a look at our online safety hub for updates and practical advice.
Online Safety Hub - Marus Bridge Primary School
Not to bombard you with links but I am aware that some pupils do use social media. If you choose to allow your children onto social media platforms, this is another good site to peruse.
