Schools Yorkshire Tour Celebration at Leeds Civic Hall

Yesterday, the children celebrated the end of the Schools Yorkshire Tour having represented Barnsley in the event. They even featured on Look North. What a brilliant day and fantastic achievement. Well done, cyclists!

Barnsley Football Champions

The boys have done it again. Year 5/6 Barnsley champions having been undefeated all season. It has been a pleasure working alongside such a talented team where many children are now leaving for secondary school. They have grown as a team and achieved amazing things and I am sure they will continue this in the future at Penistone Grammar School. A very proud teacher. Well done boys and all the best for the future! #PSJPfootball #champions

School Games Mark

We have done it, again! A big thank you to all staff for providing wonderful sporting activities each week that children thoroughly enjoy. At St John's, we give children every opportunity to succeed in school sports - whether that be taking part in our Fit4Learning each morning or Karate in our 'clubs' time. This year, children have taken part in a variety of school games and excelled in Futsal, Football, Gymnastics, Basketball and Hockey. Without our wonderful children and brilliant staff, this wouldn't have been possible. Well done, St John's! A very proud Mr Bower.

Rounders!!!

Well done to both rounders teams who competed at PGS earlier this term. Sorry for the late post!!!

Schools Yorkshire Tour

Wow! What a day it's been. Today, PSJP got the opportunity to take part in the Schools Yorkshire Tour, inspired by the Tour de Yorkshire, on the Trans Pennine Trail - travelling from Penistone to Thurgoland and returning, covering a total of 7.2 miles. The event was held as a Yorkshire initiative to raise activity levels and promote cycling. A baton travelled across Yorkshire where we got chosen to host the Barnsley leg before it finishes in Leeds on the 27th June. Thank you to the Barnsley Council for providing our children with such a memorable experience. They love their goody bags - not forgetting, their lovely drinks and cookies from Cafe Generation. Well done to all who took part.
