Just spent the evening watching this absolute superstar. An incredible performance to have witnessed and grateful to have been a part of it. A very proud moment for everyone and the delight on his face says it all. Well done Daley!

Working in a school in an area that is ranked in the top 3% of the most deprived areas in England .... my aim was always to ensure children were given the best educational experience we could physically offer...

But not all children could always access it...

...they needed a full tummy, safety, stability, care, joy...... a sense belonging!

I was one of these children!
I grew up in the very area!

Belonging is key!

Yet another amazing afternoon of sport for Carrfield. This time with the netball team. Winners once again, winning all four games and going through to the Barnsley school finals.

Well done girls!
