Read all about it! Shiney Row Primary School is in the news for its wonderful Ofsted report - and that gives us a chance to spotlight its past.
It got us thinking back to the other times that Shiney Row Primary made the headlines and there have been plenty of them.
How about when youngsters pretended they were trees in 1992, or the day they went on a tour of Fulwell Mill in 2005.
We’ve got memories of the school’s anti-bullying scheme in 2006 and its line of pennies which was created for charity in 2008.
Fast forward to 2011 when there was a special visitor to open the new learning area, and to a fencing lesson in 2017.
We’ve got all that and much more so enjoy a tour of these photo memories before getting in touch to re-live your own memories of your time at the school.
