Children will require a packed lunch and school will provide one to those entitled to free school meals. Please return your permission slips to school asap, and if you require a copy of the letter, call into the school office or download from our website. Please note as part of the visit, the children will be having a train ride. Please let us know if your child suffers from travel sickness before they go. Thank you for your co-operation.
We have received complaints from a very concerned resident about parking on the streets around school. Please can we remind parents to be considerate when parking. Double parking and blocking access for residents and the emergency services is unacceptable. Please respect our neighbours and consider the effect irresponsible parking may have on them. Thank you for your co-operation.
Thank you to all our parents for ensuring your children are wearing the correct uniform for the start of the new term. Please can we keep this up for the rest of the school year. It is lovely to see our children looking so smart!
On Sunday 6th October at 10am, the Williams BMW Fun Run will take place. The run is suitable for all the family, whether you're raising money for a worthwhile cause, remembering a loved one or simply keeping active. Mums, dads, toddlers, groups running together, fancy dress, music and fabulous fun!! The 1-mile route sets out from Rochdale Town Hall and up into the beautiful Broadfield Park, taking a very scenic route around the award winning historic grounds. There's a steep challenging climb up past the John Bright statue before entering the park. While the rest of the course climbs gradually, once you reach the bandstand it’s all downhill to The Esplanade for the return to the finish line at the town hall. See the Fun Run route on
MapMyRun To enter go to Rochdale.gov.uk/run. Minimum age for entry is 4 years. The cost for entry is £6.90. All entrants receive a medal.

We have started collecting the ‘Aldi Kit for Schools’ stickers. Please don’t dispose of any you are given—there is a box in the foyer you can drop them into. The more we receive the more chances we have of a free kit for school! Thanks for your support!
