West Cornforth Primary School has been awarded Foundation level of the British Council’s prestigious International School Award in recognition of its work to bring the world into the classroom. 

 The International School Award celebrates the achievements of schools that do exceptional work in international education. Fostering an international dimension in the curriculum is at the heart of the British Council’s work with schools, so that young people gain the cultural understanding and skills they need for life and work in today’s world. 

Today we gave out over 100 attendance awards to our children. Some for excellent attendance above our target of 97%, some for children who have significantly improved their attendance this year and some very special ones for our 100% Club.

Well done to all of these children.

We hope to give out even more next year.

It’s never too late to improve your attendance as every day in school counts.

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the Gold School Games Mark for this academic year. We are very proud of all of our children and staff for their dedication to all aspects of school sport and pleased that all the hard work of everyone has been rewarded again this year.

A brilliant afternoon of musical entertainment from the Rajasthan Heritage Band as part of Durham Big Brass Bash. The children danced, sang and enjoyed some wonderful music. The band and organisers commented on how fantastic our children were and so wonderfully behaved. What a way to end the week! #rajasthanheritageband #durhambigbrassbash 

What a great afternoon! Thank you to everyone who was able to come to our Family Fun Day and a special thank you to Cornforth Partnership for providing the bouncy castles and supporting this great family event. Also thank you to the children and staff for their hard work setting up and organising things. We hope you all enjoyed it!
