Horbury Primary Academy
Welcome
Horbury Primary Academy is a community where children become confident, caring individuals with high aspirations, an enduring enthusiasm for learning and the necessary skills to succeed in life.
At Horbury Primary Academy we believe that the child is at the centre of everything we do and we have tried to create a broad, balanced and creative curriculum to ensure that children are engaged in their learning and above all enjoy coming to school. We have enthusiastic, caring and professional staff who work hard to ensure this happens.
We want every child to reach their potential and our ultimate aim is to create a lifelong love of learning which gives children not only new skills, knowledge and understanding, but also key learning attributes that will enable them to succeed as they begin their path in life. We have a culture of learning in which we have high expectations of all children that enables them to achieve through challenge and support.
What a fabulous way to end the half term – a lunchtime picnic and ice lollies in the sunshine! The children had a great time eating, chatting and playing outside – and some lucky winners even found a golden sticker in their lunch bag, meaning they could claim a little treat like a bubble wand or yo-yo to play with.
Last week our Year 4 children visited South Kirkby Recycling Centre where they learned all about how to recycle and what happens to our waste. They took part in lots of activities, such as sifting through sand trays to uncover what ‘rubbish’ people in the past would have left, sorting items on conveyor belts and going to the recycling point. A really interesting and informative day for them!

What an amazing time we have had celebrating and recognising the 80th anniversary of #VEDay! The children made commemorative posters, flags and decorations to display outside of school and did their own historical research, from creating animations to writing diary entries from the point of view of WW2 soldiers. We rounded this off with an assembly where we shared our learning and sung well-known wartime songs. It was great to see students so engaged whilst learning about the importance of #VEDay and the courage and sacrifice it represents.

Reception children had a wonderful time on their trip to Cannon Hall Farm yesterday. They were in awe of the animals and their babies, and they listened extremely carefully to their guide, who told them all sorts of interesting facts and information. The children were outstanding in their behaviour and were an absolute credit to their parents and teachers.

Our Year 6 detective squad have been analysing evidence from the crimes committed by Mr B. B. Wolf. We will be presenting our findings in the form of a detailed police report, which we are certain will achieve a guilty verdict in court. Just another day of keeping the forest safe! 🚓🐺
