Robinwood 2019
Thu 28 Feb 2019113 Year 6 children have had an amazing time at Robinwood in Todmorden.
The photos below represent the range of activities that the children have had a chance to enjoy over the 3 day stay.
Whilst most children will probably be somewhere on these photos, we haven't checked as there is just too much to do!
We have tweeted photos of all the children during the trip and more will be sent via Dojo and be added to class pages in the next few days.

Wear orange for Muscular Dystrophy Non-uniform Day Friday 15th February
Wed 13 Feb 2019Our School Council children along with those from other schools in the Southport Learning Partnership have chosen their charity for Friday 15th February non-uniform day. This year we will be raising money by wearing orange for Muscular Dystrophy.
Anything orange will be fine - a headband, socks or even a tie! Keep it simple and we can raise lots for this great charity.
Muscular Dystrophy is a muscle-wasting condition. Over 70,000 people living with muscle-wasting conditions in the UK are supported by the charity Muscular Dystrophy UK. They bring together people affected by more than 60 rare and very rare progressive muscle-weakening and wasting conditions.
Muscle-wasting conditions are very rare, affecting just over one in every 1,000 people. As a result, some health professionals may never come across anyone with a muscle-wasting condition and may not know much about them.

Ofsted Report 2019
Tue 05 Feb 2019We are very proud to publish our latest Ofsted Report today.
The full document can be found on the link below.
Our Chair of Governors, Cllr Iain Brodie Browne has also written a letter to everyone in our school community.
We are delighted to send you the Ofsted report from our recent inspection that took place on Tuesday 22nd January 2019.
We believe that the report reflects the school that we all know and celebrates so many aspects of which we should be very proud. It clearly states that we have the ambition to make sure that Farnborough Road Juniors continues to deliver a high quality education for the children in our care and mentions our ‘unwavering commitment to the community and high aspirations for pupils’. We are very determined to make sure that we continue to improve even further in the future. As the report clearly states, we ‘have created a happy school where teachers love teaching and pupils love learning’.
We are always very proud of the children at our school and we are delighted that the inspection has highlighted their excellent attitude and behaviour. The report states that they ‘are polite, articulate and well mannered’ and that they ‘feel valued and listened to’. The report also recognised their excellent conduct and stated that they ‘speak confidently about how teachers deal quickly and effectively with any incidents of bullying and help pupils to make the right choices about how they behave towards others.’
We are determined to get even better in the future. The school has worked hard to improve since the last inspection in 2014 and we will continue to do so in the future. The next steps identified by this report were already areas of action in our school and we will be resolute in our efforts to embed them in the school.
We are proud to be a part of our local community and would like to take the opportunity to thank every child, staff member, governor, parent and member of the local community who has helped our school to become so highly respected.
We look forward to doing even more in the years ahead and as one of our pupils stated during the inspection, 'Our School is unique. We are like a big family and we all take care of each other.'
Thank you.
Cllr Iain Brodie Browne

Online Safety 2019
Tue 05 Feb 2019Tuesday 5th February is Safer Internet Day
We had a competition to design a new online safety poster for display in school and for our school planners.
The results were amazing and picking a winner was hard. Sofie in Y6 was judged to be the overall winner and her poster has now been displayed all round school and in every classroom.
Thank you to everyone who took part in this activity.
We have a special section on our website to help families with online safety. It can be found on the link below.

Young Carers
Tue 20 Nov 2018We are working with Sefton Young Carers and the Carers Trust on the Young Carers in school programme. It is really important that Young Carers are identified and properly supported in school as they may experience particular challenges that impact on their learning and well being. If you know that your child has a caring role in your family, taking responsibility for practical tasks, personal care or emotional support, please do let us know. You can speak to your child's class teacher or contact Mrs Finch who is based in the Rainbow Room. -
Farnborough Road Remembers
Fri 09 Nov 2018We have marked the 100 Year commemoration since World War 1 ended in a number of ways.
Use the links below to take you to the various activities that have taken place.
Children from both schools marked the event together on the playground in front of our amazing poppy memorial. They listened in silence to The Last Post.
https://farnborough-road-junior-school.primarysite.media/media/the-last-post
We stayed silent to show our respect to those who have given so much for us. We remembered members of our own families who we have lost.
Some of our children joined with other Southport schools at St Cuthbert's Church in Churchtown for a special community event.

Some of our children have been to Byng House. As part of The Royal British Legion ThankYou100 Campaign for remembrance, we visited The Royal British Legion's Byng House in Southport. For part of the campaign Byng House has been displaying some of the work completed by children on WW1 from local schools.
