There was a colourful end to the half term, when our pupils took part in a fun event to both celebrate their achievements and raise funds for the school.

Around 110 children from Reception to Year 6 at Clenchwarton Primary joined in the Colour Run, which took place after school on our school field, in front of spectating parents and carers.

“This was the first time we’ve ever done a colour run at Clenchwarton,” said our Assistant Headteacher, Billy Overton. “The children and adults all had an excellent time, and the weather was perfect for the event too.

“We had set up a course around the school field with teacher stations along the way. Every time the children ran past a station, the teachers were able to throw coloured powder on the children. We all got just as covered as the children.

“Everyone had an absolutely brilliant time, both children and staff, with the parents luckily keeping out of the firing line!”

The event was organised by the Parent Teacher Association (PTA), and raised more than £300 for our school, which is part of the West Norfolk Academies Trust.

“I’d like to thank our amazing PTA,” continued Mr Overton. “They work so hard for the school, with this event raising over £300, which we can put towards some new iPads or a new sound and lighting system.”

“It’s been a really busy time at school, with SATS finishing last week, and all of our staff and children working so hard over this half term,” he added. “This was a fantastic end to the half term, where we were all rewarded with some sunshine and fun.

“It was a great event for the whole school community – children, staff, and parents all laughing together, just like primary schools should.”
