There will be a special ceremony for those children who are recognised as having displayed all three of Paradigm’s values (integrity; community; excellence) by the end of June.

The ceremony will take place at Old Ford Primary on Friday 10 July, starting from 2.15pm. Parents/carers of children receiving awards will be invited to attend. We will confirm nearer the time if your child has been invited to the ceremony, along with additional details but, for now, please pencil that date and time into your diary.
