• Changes to School Day Timings

  Fri 10 Feb 2023

  In line with the Government’s White Paper recommendation, we are considering extending the length of the school day slightly from September, and are consulting with parents about this. From September we are proposing:

   

  Nursery 9.00am – 12.00pm, and 12.00pm – 3.00pm

  Reception, year 1 and year 2 – 8.50am – 3.20pm

  Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 – 8.40am – 3.10pm

   

  We will be continuing with the staggered start and finish times to support with the safe handover of children, particularly around the years 1 and 4 doors, which would otherwise be overcrowded.

  We still intend to offer a range of after school activities, and information about these would be shared with you at the start of each term, in line with our current practise.

  I appreciate that these changes may have some impact on your current home time arrangements, including childcare or working patterns. If you wish to share your thoughts on these changes, please send your emails to the school office by the 1^st March. office@marlandhill.rochdale.sch.uk

   

• Home Learning

  Fri 10 Feb 2023

  In line with our arrangements to keep parents informed of what their child is learning in school, next week the children will once again be bringing home the knowledge organisers and homework tasks for the next half term.

  We would appreciate your support in ensuring homework tasks are completed, and returned to school. It would also be beneficial to your child if you looked at and discussed the content of the knowledge organiser at intervals across the half term, enabling your child to share with you what they are learning in class.
