On the last day before the October half term holiday, we held our annual conker competition final. Children from across key stage 2 have been battling it out for a place in the final 16, and this afternoon we watched the tense final rounds until we were finally left with our winner. Well done to all the finalists for their skill and fair play.

The conker competition is a Bowmandale school tradition dating back to the first year our school opened - 1978. The trophy records the names of all the winners, including one of our staff who won it when she was a pupil here!
