  Thu 15 Jun 2017 Headteacher

  Today, pupils from Year 1 to Year 6 competed in a Quad Kids Scarborough schools tournament at Bramcote.

  Our KS1 team finished in second place out of ten schools, our Year 3/4 team won their event and our Year 5/6 team finished in seventh place.

  All the children competed really well and were a credit to the school with their excellent attitude. 

  Congratulations to Ben in Year 4 who was the overall winner out of 60 boys in the Year 3/4 age group and to Jacob who was the overall winner in the Year 5/6 boys age group. In the girls section Saskia in Year 4 finished second overall out of 56 girls in the Year 3/4 age group.  Many of our other athletes finished in the top 5 for running, jumping and throwing events.

  Well done!

  

• Sir Alan and Lady Heather Acykbourn visit Wheatcroft

  Thu 08 Jun 2017 Headteacher

  Wheatcroft enjoyed some very special visitors this afternoon as Sir Alan and Lady Heather Ayckbourn visited to listen to our Year 6 class, Year 5 class and Year 4 Singing Squad pupils record two old hymns for his new play - A Brief History of Women.  The play will have its world premier at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in September and willfeature the recordings made this afternoon as our pupils play the part of an old prep school assembly from the 1940s.  We were delighted that both our visitors stayed after the recording and answered questions from the children about writing plays and actors he's worked with.
