  • Harvest Collection

    Published 20/10/23

    We had people from the local foodbank come in this morning to collect all the food that was donated by the children and parents of Wistow School. The food will be given to help out families in Peterborough. 

    Some children in Year 6 helped to pack it all up and send it on its way.

    A big thank you to everyone who donated!

  • Design a Christmas Card

    Published 20/10/23

    Children at OWPS are invited again to design the parish Christmas card for St Andrew's Church. The winning entry will be on the card that is distributed around Orton Wistow, Orton Northgate and Alwalton. If your child wishes to take part, they may collect an entry form from school, and should return their form and design to the postbox in the school main entrance by Monday 6th November.  Please ensure all sections of the form are completed, and that the form is signed by a parent/carer.

  • Celebrating Success 20.10.23

    Published 20/10/23

    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!

    This Week's Successes!

    These girls in Year 4 ran the Great Eastern 5K fun run on Sunday, raising money for their Cheer Team East Elite. Both did amazing, supported each other and completed the run in a great time. Well done girls!
