Celebrating 20 wonderful years of Karen! Today we want to say a very special thank you to our wonderful Kitchen Manager, Karen, as she says goodbye to Orgill after an incredible 20 years as part of our kitchen team. Twenty years is quite something! During that time, Karen has prepared and served thousands upon thousands of meals, looked after generations of Orgill children and been one of those familiar faces who has simply always been part of school life. And, of course, Karen has given us far more than school dinners! Her care for our children, her hard work, her humour and the warmth she brings to our school have made her a much-loved member of the Orgill family. After two decades, it is difficult to imagine our kitchen without her, and she will be very much missed. But today is about celebrating everything Karen has given to Orgill and wishing her every happiness and success for her next chapter. Thank you, Karen, for 20 fantastic years!

& Friday means one of our favourite moments of the week... celebrating our Over & Above children! Five weeks into the term and there is so much to be proud of. This week we've heard about children challenging themselves, making brilliant choices, showing kindness, working incredibly hard and being wonderful role models to others. And that's what Over & Above is all about - being noticed for the difference you make, however big or small. Well done to this fabulous bunch! Give them a little in the comments to help us celebrate!

In the Spring of 2018, the Department for Education (DfE) identified and invited 924 schools that met a number of eligibility criteria to apply to become an accredited English Hub as part of a new national initiative to drive up standards in literacy. In the Autumn of 2018, following a competitive application and selection process, the DfE announced that 34 schools across England had been identified to take on this role.
Orgill Primary School is very proud to be one of those Hub schools and we are excited by the opportunities that this offers to schools in Cumbria and wider areas.
