School News | Friday 30th October 2020
Welcome back
We hope you had an enjoyable half-term. We are looking forward to the rest of the Autumn Term where we will try to continue with as many activities & events as Covid-19 restrictions allow.
Primary school places
Please note the closing date for primary places for September 2021 is 15th January 2021.
Visit: www.lancashire.gov.uk/schools for details of how to apply.
ParentPay
This week we are launching ParentPay as a method of communication. This will replace our text messaging service.
We hope you find it improves home-school communication and would appreciate your feedback. If you know of any families who have not yet registered, please encourage them to do so.
Black History History Month
Last Wednesday each class enjoyed learning lots for Black History Month. Topics included the Windrush, Great Black Britons, Slavery and the Civil Rights Movement. It has prompted lots of interesting conversations. Please discuss at home.
Friday Favourites
Please remember we have Friday Favourites each Friday this term. If your child is in KS2 and would like to join in, please let the office know by Wednesday and pay via ParentPay. Lunches include pizza and popping chicken.
Afternoon at the Movies
Children are invited to come to school in non-uniform on Thursday 5th November in exchange for £1.
Each class will enjoy a movie in the afternoon. Money collected will be shared between CAFOD and our School Fund. Thank you for your support. (Please ensure everyone has a suitable coat on the day as usual).
Open Day alternatives
As we are not able to hold our Open Day this year there are a two alternatives. If you know of any families who are interested in our school, please ask them to visit our website and view our online prospectus.
Alternatively, they can contact the office and we will be happy to arrange a phone conversation to talk through any questions.
