Year 5 have really enjoyed designing elephant decorations as part of their topic about India. They loved using the vibrant colours and patterns.
The problem with our water supply thankfully has been resolved and school will be open as normal today (Wednesday 13th February).
Our Healthy Breakfast will still go ahead, starting at 8:00am in the School Hall.
Thank you for your patience. The water issue has been resolved for the time being, HOWEVER contractors have warned that this could occur again during the night/tomorrow morning. For the time being we intend to be open, but if in the event there is another water pump failure, you will be notified first thing in the morning. We can only apologise for any inconvenience this will cause.
Please continue to check the school website/Facebook and text service for any further updates.
We currently have no water in school. As a matter of health and safety please come and collect your child as soon as possible. We are unsure at the moment if school we reopen tomorrow. Please continue to check our school website and Facebook page for further updates.
Thank you for your co operation.
Today as part of our THIS STANHOPE PUPIL CAN initiative, our Y6 pupils visited Newcastle University.
They participated in many activities, including a tour and quiz trail, followed by a wonderful graduation ceremony.
The children really enjoyed the day – lots were inspired by the surroundings and atmosphere too.
It would be wonderful to think that many of them go on to university in the future, achieve their dreams and graduate for real! 👨🎓👩🎓😀👍👏
Year 6 Graduate!

Throughout February we will be changing our school texting service to a parent app. Within the app you will be able to receive direct messages and attachments such as letters and information documents. In order to receive messages and information from school you MUST download the Parent Hub app. The app will ask you to complete the following steps:
- Click create an account
- Enter an email address
- Create a password
- Add your first name and surname
- Click join a school
- Enter – @StanhopePrimary
After this step it will ask you to do EITHER:
- Ask you to enter a mobile number, send you a code and verify your child OR
- Take you straight to the app home screen – you will then need to add your child/ren by clicking the parent hub logo button (top left) and selecting ‘add my child’ and follow the steps
Once you have linked your telephone number to your child/ren, the app will automatically send you messages from your child/ren class.
It is with the upmost IMPORTANCE that the app is downloaded to receive messages/documents from school. If you have any problems downloading the app please contact the school office. You are able to download the app today however you will not receive any messages until February.
As part of International Week, Year 4 have been studying Japan. During the week, the children have been researching the country and creating their own leaflets. In Art lessons, they have created their own printing blocks with Japanese symbols to create a piece of artwork. Furthermore, they have made a cherry blossom tree plate and even made origami butterflies and cranes. The children have thoroughly enjoyed all of the activities this week – especially the arts and crafts sessions.
The children who had 100% attendance throughout the Autumn Term received an ‘Inflatable Party!’. The children had so much fun throughout the morning. A big well done to all of the children with 100% attendance… Keep it up!!
We have been asked to give the following message to Parents/Carers:
