Assemblies

The following table gives a brief outline of our whole school and key stage assembly themes.

At Boothferry Primary School we work hard to ensure our children are given a broad curriculum and are given opportunities to learn about different people and cultures in the world.

We celebrate differences and ensure our children are educated about the many important charitable events our country celebrates such as Children in Need and Red Nose Day.

In September the children have also been introduced to new team point team names.

The four teams are now called Jessica Ennis, Nicola Adams, Hannah Cockroft and Brownlee.

All teams are named after a successful sporting person from Yorkshire.

โ€œWe can only applaud the ingenuity & continued compassion of the young people at Boothferry.โ€
