Year 6, along with all the other classes in school, enjoyed a session of wheelchair basketball, hosted by Lancaster Bulldogs. We learned to manoeuvre the wheelchairs quickly, changing direction to intercept the ball and to find spaces. We also had great fun! Some of our photos are rather blurred…

As part of our "Citizenship Week" activities, Year 6 visited County Hall in Preston today. We met Mr. Mynott there, who told us all about what the County Council does, how councillors are elected and what happens during council meetings. We all learnt such a lot about democracy, not only within…

What a fantastic evening we all had at the music festival. Year 4 sang beautifully and represented Scotforth well. We are so proud of you all.

Look at the brilliant costumes we wore for World Book Day.
