Welcome

On behalf of Kirkbymoorside Community Primary, I am delighted to welcome you to our website. I hope you will find the information you require. As head of school, I am privileged to introduce Kirkbymoorside as a true community primary school. The children, staff, parents and trust partners of our school work closely together in order to ensure every child is inspired to succeed and enabled to fulfil their potential. 
As well as inviting you to join our school community, we would also like you to explore our Kirkbymoorside Community Hub pages, which show how we work together to support the development of our families, neighbours and children.

๐ŸŒฝ๐ŸŽ‰ Festa Junina Fun at School! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŒฝ

What a fantastic day we had celebrating Festa Junina, organised brilliantly by our Year 5 pupils! The whole school came together to enjoy a day full of colour, music, and joy while learning about this vibrant cultural celebration.

From lively dances and traditional games to delicious treats, every child had the chance to take part and experience something new. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces, laughter, and teamwork throughout the day. ๐Ÿ’›

At the heart of our celebration was a focus on kindnessโ€”whether it was helping each other learn new dances, sharing food, or encouraging friends to join in. Our Year 5 children did an amazing job leading the activities and helping younger pupils feel included and confident.

A huge well done to Year 5 for organising such a memorable event, and thank you to all our staff and families for supporting this special day. ๐ŸŒŸ

Celebrating culture, building kindness, and making memories togetherโ€”what a wonderful way to learn!

๐ŸŒŸ A Wonderful week of Learning Experiences! ๐ŸŒŸ

Itโ€™s been a fantastic week of trips across our school, with pupils exploring and learning beyond the classroom!

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Year 5 travelled to Murton Park, where they stepped back in time to experience Anglo-Saxon life. The children fully immersed themselves in history, taking part in hands-on activities and learning what daily life would have been like hundreds of years ago.

๐ŸŒผ Year 1 enjoyed a beautiful visit to Helmsley Walled Garden, where they focused on mindfulness and map reading. They explored the gardens, practised their navigation skills, and took time to enjoy the calm, natural surroundings.

We are incredibly proud of all our pupils for their kindness, curiosity and excellent behaviourโ€”they truly represented our school so well! ๐ŸŒˆ
