We are pleased to offer for sale Mrs Cooper's Legendary Recipes cookbook. Alot of these recipes have stood the test of time, as some are still used by the kitchen staff at OWPS today.
You can pick up a copy for £5 from the school office and all money raised will go to Sue Ryder, who were a great support to Audrey.
Games of the Week
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!

Second Hand Uniform Rail
The FOWS team would like to remind you of the second-hand uniform rail that is placed in the school reception. If you need a branded/unbranded uniform, then it is a great way to pick some up. A donation of £1 is asked for each item.
It has also been requested to see if anyone has any branded uniform in the ages 7-8 and 9-10 that they can donate. Please hand it into the school office if you do so!
Thanks
The FOWS Team
Games of the Week
On Wednesday 6th March, the representative children from the OWN trust schools returned to Ferry Meadows to continue the Schools in Residence project in association with Nene Park Trust. One of the aims of the project is to encourage members of the wider community to access the Park.
Sadly, we heard recently that one of our former colleagues passed away. Mrs. Audrey Cooper was our school cook for over thirty years and a much loved member of our team. Those of you that have been connected to the school for a while will probably remember her. Audrey worked in the kitchen when the school first opened and was employed by Mr. Lane, the school's first Headteacher. When I joined Orton Wistow in 2003, Audrey was a huge part of the school and provided the pupils and staff with quality lunches every day. She was always happy to go above and beyond and gave many years of dedication and hard work to our school. She was also quite a character and was one of the people that made working here such a joy. A few years ago Audrey put together a recipe book of some of her favourite desserts and treats she used to make at school and called it 'Cooper's Christmas Crackers'. Audrey's daughter, Claire is planning on creating some copies of this and selling them to raise money for Sue Ryder who were a great support to Audrey. If there are some copies available, we will let parents know. Our thoughts are with Claire and the rest of Audrey's family at this sad and difficult time x
