We know hat it's important to think about people less fortunate than ourselves, especially at Christmas time. With this in mind we've been decorating and packing Christmas care boxes for homeless people.

Items included toiletries, food, sweets, blankets and hats. What did you put in your appeal box?

At the end of each year, we celebrate the achievements of all our students. Whilst we are extremely proud of all our children, some children either succeed against odds or merely dedicate themselves to improvement, development or aiding others. This July we celebrated a new group of award winners.

Well done and good luck to all the year 6 leavers. You've worked so hard and deserved your fantastic results. You've become outstanding individuals, ready to take secondary by storm.

For those of you that enjoyed listening to our violin recordings, we finally have some images of the musicians themselves. We are thankful for the excellent tuition we recieve from Judith Thompson and look forward to seeing you all when we perform at Gibside. Details to follow.

Here at Carr Hill we reached an important mile stone today. Children from years 5 and 6 came together to perform violin music, for their KS1 and KS2 friends. Children and teachers were shocked by the performance they encountered, finding the children far more advanced. professional and polished than expected. The performance came after only two terms of tuition from Judith Thompson to whom we are extremely grateful.
