SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

We have an “Early Morning Club” which begins at 7:50am. Mrs Denby runs the club and the children enjoy choosing from a range of fun activities.

PLAYTIME & OUTDOOR LEARNING

“There is no such thing as bad weather, just unsuitable clothing!” We do play out in damp weather and we do go sledging on snowy days.

SCHOOL SPORT

Here at Ingleton Primary School our aim is for all pupils to enjoy sport and be physically active. We offer a range of sports in PE lessons to enable children to experience a range of activities.

SCHOOL UPDATES

LUNCH MENU

Children are encouraged to take a school meal at lunch time as they help provide part of a healthy balanced diet and encourage social eating habits.  Our meals are excellent value and are prepared using locally sourced fresh ingredients on a daily basis by our School Cook and an Assistant.

A menu is circulated at the beginning of each term showing the meal choices available to your child for each day of that term.  At the start of each school day a dinner register will be taken by the class teacher and children choose which meal they would like e.g. main meal option or the second or third option.
