As our Hawes End adventure has come to a close, we'd like to take a moment to thank the incredible staff who have made this residential such a special experience for our Year 3 and 4 children. Residentials are about so much more than the activities. They are about creating opportunities, building confidence, encouraging independence and making memories that will last a lifetime. None of this would be possible without the dedication, enthusiasm and care of the adults who give up their time away from home to support our children. From early mornings and late nights to walking boots, waterproofs and endless encouragement, our staff have been there every step of the way, ensuring that every child felt safe, supported and able to make the most of every opportunity. Thank you for your patience, kindness, energy and commitment. Whether leading activities, offering reassurance, celebrating achievements or simply being a friendly face when it was needed most, you have helped make this week a memorable one for our children. We are incredibly grateful for everything you have done. The experiences, friendships and memories created at Hawes End will stay with our children for many years to come. Help me to give thanks to Mrs Hawley, Mrs Branney, Miss Fowler, Mrs Jackson and Miss Blaney!

Would you be brave enough to squeeze through this? This tiny passage challenged even the most adventurous of our Year 3 and 4 explorers! The children have shown remarkable courage throughout their residential, tackling every challenge with determination and a smile. It's been wonderful to see their confidence grow with each new experience. We are incredibly proud of them all. Photos are starting to be uploaded to the album so take a look!
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.
