  • Walk and Talk Week 2

    Published 10/11/22

    Classrooms shouldn't have four walls and the best classroom is roofed only by the sky...

    We are so lucky to be able to educate our pupils in our beautiful countryside and embrace all of their strengths.

    What a wonderful 'walk and talk' today for EYFS. They walked up and over the hill opposite school. They were very brave climbing up the side! They could see Pendle Hill, the Cement Works, cows, hens, a flood, lots of birds and Clitheroe Castle. So much to talk about!
