McMillan House Champions
Congratulations to McMillan House as they were our house point champions from Spring 1. As always, they were excited to come and get their reward. For children who are fasting, they have been very sensible and will be saving popcorn for later!
Takeover Day 2026
It was such a privilege to see our pupils 'taking over' the school and acting in the role of members of staff. We had a new Mr Harrison, Mr Lock and a whole host of new teachers! Everyone who took part should feel very proud of how they conducted themselves on the day.
Takeover Day Interviews
Yesterday, we had the interviews for Takeover Day. It was a tough day and our pupils left us with some hard decisions to make. Congratulations to all those who were successful, and to those who missed out, there is always next year and another chance!
Lister House Champions Treat
Many congratulations to everyone in Lister House as they were our House Champions for last half-term. Today, they collected their reward with popcorn and candy floss! They thoroughly deserved their reward, I wonder who will be the champions this half-term.

Food Festival
Thank you to everyone who joined us today for our Food Festival. It was absolutely fabulous to see so many of our families and raise some money for school which we can then spend back on your children. We are looking forward to the next event already.
Athletics Champions!
Another day, another trophy! This time it's for our Year Five pupils who were joint winners with Westbourne Primary at the recent athletics tournament. Well done to all of our fabulous athletes who represented the school and came back sporting another medal.

Football Champions!
Another trophy for the cabinet! Congratulations to our Year Six boys on winning the trust-wide football tournament. Many thanks to Mr Hussain for his leadership and bringing home the glory. It's always good to challenge ourselves against other schools in the trust.
Make Seconds Count
On behalf of everyone at Miriam Lord Primary School can I say thank you for your donations on our recent Wear It Pink Day. We raised £405 for Make Seconds Count - a wonderful charity that supports cancer research and is very close to our heart.
Healthy Eating Workshop
Congratulations Mrs Saunders!
We are all feeling extremely proud of our very own Mrs Saunders for winning the Harper Collins Reading Teacher of the Year award. It is no less than what she deserves for all the hard work she puts into making sure the Miriam Lord pupils are excellent readers, we are very lucky to have her. Check out the video from the ceremony in Milton Keynes this weekend.
Reading Teacher of the Year!
EYFS Open Evening
We are hosting our first open evening of the year on Wednesday 8th October from 3.30 p.m. - 5.00 p.m. This is the perfect chance for any families who are looking for a Reception place from 2026 to come and visit us at Miriam Lord Primary School to see what we can offer. Please spread the word around the community as it would be great to have as many new families joining us as possible.
Headteacher Coffee Mornings
Vision Panels
As you have seen, we have installed brand new Vision Panels in the main school playground. As well as looking nice, these panels have been put up to stop visitors being able to see into the school playground. They are an added way of keeping your children safe.
Iftar Event 2025
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Iftar event, and an extra thank you to our PTA Team and Miss Hussain who organised the whole thing. As always, it was a wonderful moment seeing all our Miriam Lord families, ex-pupils and community coming together.
Care Home Visit
These photos fill me with absolute joy! We have set up a link with Oasis Priority Care Home on Manningham Lane. This is a wonderful place that cares for elderly residents with dementia. Today, some of our Year Six and Nursery pupils visited to share their favourite books and stories. I think the photos tell the story better than I can. I am so proud of our children and how they continue to show kindness and care for others. They are wonderful role models to everyone else around them.
