We are delighted to share with you some really good news. Yesterday our KS1 girls took part in the Shelley Pyramid Football Tournament. 70 girls took part and our small team of 5 only went and won the Trophy!!! We are super proud ⚽️🏆🎖️💪💛💙

Always inspiring to visit Birdsedge First School and wonderful to represent Ed Anderson, Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire at their community Remembrance service, the children recited poetry and sung hymns around the War memorial and Julie Peace @167RegimentChef gave some moving prayers. Thank you to all involved.

We had our own special service yesterday at BFS for Remembrance. Thank you to all who attended to make it happen and of course to our wonderful children who as always did us so proud. Mrs W Ed Anderson, Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire @167RegimentChef
