Here is our story so far…
Once Upon a School
Once upon a time an inadequate primary school at the bottommost part of North Yorkshire slumbered for many years awaiting a knight in shining armour to give it the kiss of life. Hundreds of golden beans were flung with little impact, not even a beanstalk.
Then, one sunny September, Cinderella arrived and found this school to suit. The role of literacy leader became hers. She swiftly set about tackling the literacy beast but no-one could help her. Until a chance encounter led her down the path to Pie’s Palace!
Her charges began to believe progress could be made and if you listened hard enough you could hear the faint chant of ‘imitate, innovate, independent application’ permeating through the walls of school.
That is now a resounding celebratory cheer and the 47 dwarves at school continue to work as a team creating diamonds out of each and every child.
