Welcome...
Staff and pupils will be developing this site regularly so that all the latest news and information about the school will be just a click away.
Our intention is to create a website that can be used by parents, pupils and friends to access our school from anywhere in the world.
By involving children we hope that they can develop their ICT skills as well as helping them to feel part of the school, local and wider communities.
If you have any suggestions about how we could improve our website feel free to contact us with your ideas.

Parents and Carer Questionnaire
As part of our continued self-evaluation, we would like the views of parents and carers with regards to our provision for your children.
To make the process more efficient, we are using a computer based questionnaire which should allow us to identify strengths and areas for development, more easily.
The link below will take you to the secure site where you can answer some simple questions. Although a name is asked for, I can assure you that we do not receive this information; all entries are anonymous.
Survey Link 
I would like to express how grateful we are for those who share their views with us as we take all comments extremely seriously and use them to shape our practice.
The closing date for the survey is Monday 14th July, 12.00pm.

Every Picture Tells
The arts company Every Picture Tells came to work with the Early Years children to produce some art and craft work related to traditional stories. Firstly, the children listened to an alternative version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. A storyboard was used to help to tell the story and afterwards, the children had the opportunity to produce a baby bear picture. To finish off the visit, the children took part in a mini quiz: Guess the traditional story. The children were excellent at the quiz and guessed all the answers correctly! A fabulous time was had by all.

Artsmark Silver Celebrations!
We are extremely proud to announce that the school has achieved the Artsmark Silver award for our high level of provision to the arts. By gaining the Artsmark Silver award, the school has shown it's commitment to the wider development of pupils and teachers and to raising the profile of it's arts provision both within the school and the local community.
The arts cover the four artforms of art, drama, dance and music. Over the last couple of years, we have been developing and increasing the provision we offer to the children through organising a range of activities to enrich and broaden the curriculum, such as visits to arts organisations, artists coming in to school, various competitions, and events within school.
The awards ceremony was held at the Northern Stage in Newcastle and it was a fun filled event, with music and dance performances from various schools around the North East. Heather Seymour and Adam McIntyre accompanied Miss Gillie and Mr Malik to collect the award and to celebrate the achievement.
Thank you to all of the staff and pupils at Wardley for their hard work and dedication to the arts.

Summer Activities
Over the summer holidays, there is a huge amount of work going on within school. The replacement of windows and panels continues in the KS2 building along with internal and external painting across the whole school. However, amongst this, we have managed to squeeze in the Active Kidz summer play scheme for 5-7 year olds.
For those parents and carers looking for activities that children can be involved in over the long summer, Gateshead's programme is designed to give competitively priced options. Please see the attached form which gives all the information necessary.

We are Football Crazy, Football Mad!
During our Be Healthy week, Stephen Turnbell, a professional footballer from Hartlepool United, came into Year One and Two to discuss with the children the importance of a healthy diet and doing plenty of exercise. He also delivered some coaching, wowed the children and staff with his tricks and skills, and refereed some 7 a side matches. The children had a great afternoon and discovered how much hard work and dedication it takes to be an elite athlete.

Year 1 and 2 Become Firefighters for the Afternoon
Two members of the local firefighters and their fire engine visited Year 1 and 2 for their annual fire safety talk. The children watched a video about the importance of not playing with matches. The children then had the opportunity to try on a firefighter's uniform and the see what different equipment a fire engine has on board. Some extremely lucky children had the opportunity to ride in the fire engine. The safety session ended with the children having a turn on the hose.
