For the first time in six years, LDPS girls are the new football champions of Blackburn and Darwen. This talented group of players finished top on Finals night at St Bedes.
Several of our parents have been worried to see, "MoMo" appearing on their or their children's social media accounts and have contacted the school. This is a game which has been linked to a child suicide and other challenges which leave our children vulnerable. The police are advising that it is a way of obtaining personal information about you or your children.
It is important to create an awareness of this latest craze without spreading hysteria, panic or inadvertently promoting.
It is a good opportunity, therefore, to remind parents and children of the national guidance on on-line safety for children and a parent and carer’s responsibilities around the supervision of children using the Internet.

On Tuesday (9th October 2018), some of our children were involved in a Ribble Rivers Trust art project. This involved sketching and creating art in the local community. Our pupils had a wonderful day.
Emily from the Trust who worked with the children on the day wrote ‘It has been an absolute delight to work with KS2 children from Lower Darwen Primary School. After an engrossed morning of developing new artistic skills, the children demonstrated just how much they had learnt and how focussed they had been, by creating absolutely stunning artwork to record their journey to the River Darwen.
We were also impressed at how much understanding the children had absorbed about their local river and the importance of protecting it. We hope that these new skills and care for their river are things that they will enjoy using and sharing with other children in their classes.’
