Our family of schools Close Our family of schools Barnby and North Cove Primary School Thank you for visiting our website. We hope the information available here will be useful to existing families, and to those who are looking to bring their children to Middleton Primary School. 06 February 2026 Spruce have been taking part in the RSPB Big School Birdwatch.
We enjoyed making bird feeders and then observing and counting the different varieties of birds that visited the playground. In Scouts, cubs are working towards their personal safety badge. They made sculptures of dangerous places and identified why it is important not to play in these places.
This followed on from this by making safety codes with an emphasis on keeping safe when exploring and adventuring. They worked collaboratively and demonstrated imagination and creativity. Well done! 05 February 2026 In Gymnastics this week, Ash Class have been learning to balance on apparatus.
They have been practising using pointed toes and straight legs, and exploring how to balance using a range of different body parts.
