Pupils, staff and families at St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Newton Aycliffe enjoyed a fantastic Bike Fest 2026, bringing the school community together for a fun-filled day of activities, creativity and celebration.
The event showcased the many talents and interests of the school community. From impressive circus skills demonstrations to delicious homemade cakes, there was plenty for everyone to enjoy throughout the day.
One of the highlights was the wet sponge challenge, where pupils had the opportunity to get a little splashy with Mr Darby and Mrs Chamley, creating lots of laughter and memorable moments.
Bike Fest 2026 was also an opportunity to celebrate the school's values. The event reflected the virtue of compassion and encouraged pupils to think about The Common Good, reinforcing the importance of supporting one another and contributing positively to the wider community.
A special thank you was given to School Grandad and caretaker Darren, who shared his passion with pupils and helped make the day such a success. His enthusiasm and dedication were greatly appreciated by everyone involved.
The event was a wonderful celebration of togetherness, showcasing the strong sense of community that makes St Mary's Catholic Primary School such a special place to learn and grow.
Following the success of this year's event, the school is already looking ahead with excitement and hopes to make Bike Fest 2027 even bigger.
