Celebrating Success 13.01.23

Find out what amazing extracurricular activities the children at OWPS have been achieving recently!

Here at Orton Wistow Primary School, we recognise that success comes in all different shapes and sizes! We celebrate the children's achievements in school in the Achievements section of the newsletter and website.

Many of the children, however, are also achieving things outside of school.  We would like to recognise these successes too.

It might be that your child has passed a music or dance exam, gained a karate belt, starred in a show, volunteered, taken part in a sporting event, or done something that they didn't think was possible!

If you would like to share your child's achievements with us so that we can celebrate their success, please complete the Celebrating Success form which can also be found below.  Contributions will be considered for inclusion in upcoming editions of the newsletter.

We look forward to hearing about your children's extracurricular achievements!

Celebrating Success this week!

In September when the queen passed away this child in Year 5 drew a picture of the queen on a horse and sent it to King Charles along with a letter of condolence. 

Recently, she received a reply from the king! There was much excitement in the house when a letter arrive with the postmark Buckingham Palace! 


This child in Year 2 had her hair chopped ready to donate to the Little Princess Trust. She’s donating 12 inches and has been growing it for almost a year and a half. She’s smashed her target of £550 which is how much it costs to make a wig for a child or teenager who has suffered hair loss. Her family are very proud! 


With 3 weeks to spare, this child in the Penguins has completed a 1000 hours outside challenge (an initiative that is part of the global movement). Whether it has been a little 20-minute walk or a 10-hour day outside, he has taken to the outside world with a curious mind, open heart and wonder in his eyes. His family said that 'it has been an absolute joy. He is excited to start next years’ chart!'
