Christ the King RC Primary School, A Voluntary Academy

Save the date!

Beat the Street is coming to our school from 10 May – 21 June and we’re all invited to play. It’s a free walking and cycling game that will transform the area into a giant game! Pupils, parents, carers and staff earn points for our school as you travel around our area.

You can walk, run, cycle, scoot, skip or roll between Beat Boxes on the journey to and from school, take trips round the area at weekends and enjoy spending time to help our school earn points and rocket up the leaderboard.

There are great prizes up for grabs! We can even earn tree's!

What’s next? You’ll receive a game pack including a map of our area and pack containing a card for your child and a card for a parent/carer to use. Both should be registered online at www.beatthestreet.me. To find out how to play – see the video. https://youtu.be/WMS6rQPIt0o 

We had a lovely time time with some of our year 3's during the recent Orienteering festival at Towneley Park. The children took part, alongside other schools, in some team-building challenges and even a Pokémon hunt, before tackling an orienteering course set up by the SSP staff. The children agreed they enjoyed the experience and had built on their knowledge of the sport, after being introduced to it here in our PE lessons at school.

A huge thank you and well done to all the girls who took part, across the country, in the GBFS 23 last week. CTK joined St Augustine's, Holy Trinity and Padiham Green in a KS2 friendly tournament, which saw over 50 girls playing some enthralling games in front of lots of keen spectators. The atmosphere was buzzing! Two squads from CTK travelled over and both teams performed impressively, notching 5 wins out of the 6 total games played. We were delighted to then join the other girls in one team photo in celebration at the end of the fantastic afternoon. A special thanks to our fellow schools who took part and to Mr O'Brien for organising the event.

Our special thanks go to the Friends of CTK who recently supplied school with a brand new sports kit. The KS2 girls' football team proudly wore the new kit for the first time this week as they played in two friendly warm up games at Hameldon this week. The girls who featured looked very smart in the all-red design, as they faced up against Padiham Green and Holy Trinity. The school would welcome a shirt sponsor who would also arrange for the kits to be printed up. Please let the office or Mr Ashworth know if you would like to discuss this. l.ashworth@king-pri.lancs.sch.uk

A fantastic performance in the Hartley Cup group stage at Hameldon on Thursday saw CTK secure a 4-1 victory over St Leonard's. A new formation was rolled out and players were asked to perform in different roles, which they executed superbly. The forward play and intricate passing enabled the reds to create plenty of chances in front of goal, but some heroic defending and sublime goalkeeping from the opposition limited the first half tally. Rafferty gets a special mention for scoring all four of the goals, in an exemplary performance across the midfield. On to the next big game versus St mary's. Well done to all the players!
