Wearhead, County Durham, DL13 1BN
Wearhead Primary is open even when it snows! As the school has staff that can brave the elements and reach the school it will be open! The pupils that are here, as well as working hard in their lessons, do have fun outdoors in the snow. Please view the photographs.
Wearhead Primary School is now part of the Upper Durham Dales Federation. The new Executive Headteacher is Mrs Sarah Hodgkinson. The school is open to pupils who have both parents who are key workers and pupils who are considered vulnerable.
Today, 18th December, the small school with the big heart said a fond farewell to the Head teacher, Mr Hiley. To Mr Hiley’s surprise the children performed an amazing send off for him which included Ava playing the part of Mrs Hayes and Brendon playing the part of Mr Hiley. His gifts included a framed photograph of all the quotes that Mr Hiley has used at the end of the Wearhead Warrior newsletters; his favourite sweets – shrimps and bananas; his favourite biscuits – custard creams; a fabulous travel book, an Amazon card for Mr Hiley to spend on…perhaps some more camping items. Mr Hiley will be missed by all here at Wearhead Primary and we wish him well on his next adventures. Please view the photographs.
As another Year ends here at Wearhead Primary School we have the traditional Christmas Lunch, buffet and party in the last week of the term. Chef, Derrick, worked his magic yet again with the delicious food. Please view the photographs.
The whole school enjoyed participating and watching a virtual play called The Selfish Giant on Friday 11th December. The children helped to create the backdrop for the play and joined in with the singing/action parts.
From Monday 7th December for the week everyone at Wearhead Primary can come to school wearing an item of festive clothing. This can be a sock, a jumper or whatever has that festive feeling. Please can the children also remember to bring with them waterproofs/warm clothing as we will still be outside as much as possible.
The children had great fun this morning being able to be outside in the snow.
