Welcome back for the Summer Term

at Livingstone Primary School!

A note from Mr Thornes

Hello and welcome to Livingstone Primary School and our website.

It's a really exciting time for me having recently started as Headteacher and I'm looking forward to both the challenges and the experience.

Livingstone is an incredibly warm and friendly place, reflected by both our staff and pupils. We love active learning and active minds here and there's always huge amounts going on across the year groups. The welcome I've received here has been wonderful and the children feel as passionately as I do that this is a great place to be.

What I do know is that we have a fantastic team of staff here and that we are all trying our hardest to improve every pupil and make sure that school life is fun, stimulating, varied, rigorous but enjoyable.

I've been in lessons every day so far, and that's exactly what I see. Happy children, feeling a part of a team that feel they can succeed.

In the future I'll be working with the staff, pupils, governors and stakeholders to move the school forward together and make the Livingstone experience an even better one.

Thank you.

WELL DONE TO OUR SPORTS LEADERS!

The Sports leaders from Year 5 and 6 had their first experience of working with Year 1 and 2 at a sports festival held at Bedford Modern School. They were excellent in their role supporting the younger children with their activities and encouraging them with fair play.
