A golden morning to celebrate the INSPIRATIONAL Brenda Entwistle!

🌟50 years crossing children safely and joyfully outside Parbold Douglas CE Academy!🌟

According to Brenda: "It's not permanent. I'm still deciding if I like it."

We welcomed 3 inspiring guests to school this morning! They're cycling from London to Glasgow (600 miles) ahead of the COP26 Climate Change Conference🚴

They've really encouraged us in our mission to reduce, reuse and recycle! 🌎 #pdaworship

Our after-school Freestyle Frisbee club launched today! Possibly the first of its kind in the country?! 🥏😀

Over 20 in attendance. Impressive energy and focus! The perfect way to end a fantastic week.

Great to bring together leaders from across 14 schools today to collaborate on 'return to school' plans. Big thanks to @meolsresearch for the excellent input to get us started!
