BOTH primary school pupils and their mums will be recognised for their work in an intergenerational scheme.

Pupils at Green Lane Primary School will be given certificates for their “weekend” working to prepare them for the upcoming Key Stage 2 SATs.

The pupils attended weekend booster classes in maths, English and science to help them in the exams next month. Classes were spread over a nine week period.

The pupils were not alone, as their mums were also in school with them, attending development sessions where they learned about issues including cyber bullying, First Aid and Health and Safety.

The Deputy Lord Mayor, Coun Alun Griffiths, will present pupils and their mums with certificates for their attendance and efforts on Wednesday April 26 in City Hall

The school worked in partnership with grass-roots organisation, NEESIE, who organised the booster classes and the ‘mothers’ empowered’ sessions.

Kevin Holland, Headteacher at Green Lane Primary, said: “These sessions have been really well attended by both pupils and their mums. We were delighted that the pupils were so keen to come in and do the boosters and are hoping that their efforts will pay dividends when they take their SATs in May.

"On behalf of the school I would like to to thank Noreen Khan from NEESIE for putting all of these aspirations into practice, and for the range of opportunities which were available to the mums. Thank you also to the teachers who came in at the weekend for their commitment to learning for all."
