Ripon Cathedral Leavers Service for Year 6 children
Our Year 6 children took part in this service on Tuesday afternoon and did an excellent job leading some of the singing. They enjoyed celebrating their time at Primary School with other Y6 children from Church Schools across the Diocese. Each school was asked to take a piece of art work and ours, along with others is on display in the Cathedral. All welcome, entry free.

Safeguarding at the Summer Fair
After the children finish their Maypole dancing those in Classes 3 and 4 are able to browse the fair under the supervision of school staff. Children in Classes 1 and 2 will return to their classroom and will need collecting by a parent/known adult to visit the fair. If the adult collecting your child is not known to school staff, please inform school in writing before Friday. If you are not able to send someone to explore the fair with your child they will be taken round by one of our school staff. At 3.30pm the fair will finish and staff will supervise the gate as normal. Please send money to spend in a named purse.
