Champions League Final

On Wednesday 15th November girls from Year 5 and 6 represented the school in the champions league final at South Hunsley High School. This was a result of winning the local cluster competition back in October.
The girls played four tough games drawing the first 0-0 and then narrowly losing the other three 0-1. Gracie played fantastically well in goal and Ella was a star in defence injuring her thumb along the way. All the girls should be proud of their achievements in getting to this stage of the tournament and being the first Boothferry team to win a trophy in the last three years. Well done to them all, we are all very proud.

Opening the school doors at 8.40am has made it much easier as it is less crowded.

When ever I have had a problem the staff on the whole have been sympathetic and helpful.

“We want to thank you for welcoming my family when we moved here (from Bulgaria).”

“The headteacher, senior leaders and governors are ambitious for pupils. Their determination has made Boothferry Primary a flourishing and successful school.”
