• Mr Bower retires

  Fri 20 Jul 2018

  It's been an emotional day for us here at Codnor Primary. Not only have we said goodbye to our brilliant Y6s, our lovely headteacher, Mr Steve Bower, has retired today. Steve and his wife, Gaenor, have bought some smashing picnic benches for school as a leaving present for the children so they can sit together and have a chat.

   

  Mr Bower wrote:

   

  Dear Parents,

   

  I have been absolutely overwhelmed by the kind words, cards, letters, emails, and number of lovely presents I have been given this week. You are so generous, and I am touched by what has been said to me. Thank you indeed. I am very sad to be leaving the Codnor community. Rest assured that everything is in order for our fantastic school to continue on its successful journey. You and your children deserve the highest quality provision, and I am confident that it is in place. Best wishes to all.

   

  Steve Bower.

  

• Y4's Poem in Derby Museum!

  Wed 18 Jul 2018
  Codnor has indeed got talent! One of our Y4 pupils recently took part in a poetry workshop with Jamie Thrasivoulou to mark the opening of the new World Culture Gallery at Derby Museum. This is his haiku, printed by the Small Print Company. His poem will be on display, pegged on a line in the 'Reflect and Respond' area. What a brilliant achievement! Our young poet performed his haiku to the whole school in assembly this morning, to great applause. Well done!

  

• Y6 Bournemouth!

  Wed 11 Jul 2018

  Bournemouth day 4, and it's Monkey World! A super day, with fantastic weather again!

  

• Y3/4 Junior Gregg Cup Runners-Up

  Fri 06 Jul 2018

  Our Y3/4 football teams went along to Heanor Town Football Club on Friday 29th June to play in the first ever Junior Gregg Cup.

   

  Our 'B' team drew 1 game against Langley Mill but lost the other 3 games against Mundy 'A', Howitt 'B' and Loscoe respectively.

   

  Our 'A' team had a very successful afternoon though as they beat Kilburn 2-0 and Mundy 'B' 3-0 and drew 0-0 with Howitt 'A' and 1-1 with Marlpool. This meant that we finished 2nd in our group to progress to the semi-final to play Mundy 'A'.

   

  In a tense, tight game we went 1-0 down early before equalising with a spectacular goal to take the game to penalties. The first penalty for Mundy was saved before we scored, the second penalty for Mundy hit the crossbar meaning we had to score to win, which we did!

   

  This took us to the final to play Howitt 'A' again. Another tense, tight game was settled by one long range goal from Howitt. Despite all our efforts to get back into the game, we finished as runners-up which is always a tough place to finish, but the boys did themselves and the school very proud - well done to all and thanks to all the supporters!
