Becoming a Black Belt usually takes around 4.5 to 5 years—but one of our amazing Year 5 children has achieved it in just 3 years, 9 months, and 11 days!

He is now the 3rd youngest Black Belt in the history of Penistone Karate Centre, founded in 1982. The grading took place at Barnsley Sports Academy, where he was the youngest participant by three years among 14 others.

The grading involved around 300 kicks and punches, 10 perfect katas, and 10 rounds of sparring against older opponents—an incredible test of skill, focus, and determination.

Despite the intensity, this determined child gave it his all and was rewarded with a well-deserved Black Belt and certificate from the chief instructors.

We are so proud of his hard work and dedication—what an amazing achievement!

We’re so proud of this year 5 for her amazing achievement in completing the Blue Peter Reading Challenge!

She read over 25 books to earn her well-deserved Blue Peter Badge – an incredible accomplishment that showcases her love for reading and dedication.

Well done!

What an AMAZING day yesterday for this year 4 as she took part in a gymnastics competition at High Green! 🎉 She took to the stage and absolutely shone — not only securing 1st and 2nd place in her individual events but also coming away with the overall 1st place trophy!

A huge congratulations to her on this well-deserved achievement.

During half term, these two year 5 boys climbed Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England, in the Lake District. It is a staggering 978m high, and a total distance of 14km. The walk, following ‘The Corridor Route’ took them 8 hours to complete. Apparently, it was lovely weather on the way up but rained all the way down! What an amazing achievement boys, one which they proudly shared with us today at school.
