SPELLING Bees are to be rolled out to primary schools across the Dixons Multi Academy Trust.

Helen Haunch, principal of Dixons Marchbank Primary, said: “The events themselves are laden with tension and have a fantastic air of friendly competitiveness.”

The school’s year 6 teacher Amanda Stephenson organised the Spelling Bee to help improve the children’s spelling.

The current winners are Raihan Sheik and Umme-Aiman Khan.
