Today we said a very emotional farewell to our wonderful headteacher. Mrs Otley has been at KPS for 15 years and we are all so grateful to her for what she has done for the school, pupils, families and the local community. Thank you for everything Mrs O- enjoy your retirement! 🦆
Each class was given a colour and each pupil was given a blank butterfly and here is the finished result - We are so pleased and think it looks great - Well done everyone. ☺️
Wow just look how generous you have all been this morning sending in donations for the Barnsley Food Bank. Thank you so much this will be most welcomed.
Fantastic effort by everyone. 😃😃😃😃😃😃
Today we said a fond farewell and good luck to Mr G who has been the site manager at KPS for longer than he would care to reveal! Thank you for everything you have done for us Mr Goodison- Keresforth won’t be the same without you! Enjoy retirement. 👷♂️🦺🛠️
To the whole Keresforth community you have all been absolutely fantastic this week. Well done to everyone who has engaged with remote learning or been in school. Everyone has been amazing. Thank you for all your support.

We met Four strong horses and their police officers. We were so excited to meet the police who help keep us safe! We could tell the horses where to go!(2)🐴❤️👮🏼
To the whole KPS community. I would just like to once again say ‘Thank You’ to you all for the most amazing 15 years. I have enjoyed every minute. I miss you all. Good luck for the future. Love Mrs O

What a fantastic start to full school return today. We had nearly every child in school. 7 classes with 100% attendance. How long can we keep it up? Well done everyone. You were amazing.
Sooo proud of this amazing group! All their hard work has paid off and they managed to WIN the KS2 award. Well done Foamy Friends! We can’t wait to go and make our soap product - watch out on the shelves to see it in real life 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Incredibly proud of these 4 superstars. For weeks, they have been asking to stay in during lunch to perfect their pitch & their hard work has paid off. So pleased for them! There were so many other amazing teams too… a brilliant day for everyone 🎈🧼🤩

Goodbye year 6. We wish you all the best as you move onto pastures new. Remember treat everyone with kindness and reach for the stars. You can achieve anything. You have been amazing.
I would just like to say a big thank you to all the pupils and parents who came back to school today and followed all the safety measures we had put in place. We all look forward to seeing you again tomorrow. 😀
Class Brazil have started to learn some British sign language today in music. This is one of our first attempts at 'Fight Song'. We've made a super start!
Class Sun had an “out of this world” lesson with Mike from NASA this afternoon! He answered all of our questions about space, rockets, astronauts and jet packs! THANK YOU Mike from NASA! 🌍☀️❤️🚀🛰🛸🪐🌟💫☀️❤️

I can finally announce, and I pleased to say, KPS won the inter school quiz earlier this week. To say that the children were pleased is an understatement. The trophy will be awarded before the end of term.
Class Canada went on a shape hunt today! We saw triangles, squares, circles and rectangles! We even managed to rescue a hedgehog.(Mrs Hudson was VERY excited!)
Class Shark have had a busy first day back at school. They have worked their socks off. Here are some photos of just a few activities we completed today; meeting our reading sharks, music using the boomwhackers and lego mindfulness. 🦈
Class Star & Class Sun spotted tractors going across our field to cut the hedges. We watched them go over a very small bridge and decided to make our own bridge in the playground. 🌟 ☀️ 🚜
Mrs Farrell & Mrs Barnes would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ for all of the lovely kind words and gifts that we have received. We have loved our time in Class Carle 🐛 Have a fantastic summer! ☀️
