On Wednesday 26th June, our Community Cohesion group presented their ideas for the improvement of Rochdale to the Mayor of Rochdale and other Council dignitaries.  We are very proud of all the work they have done this year!

On Friday 21st June, a group of our pupils took part in the IPLCN cycling competition at Spotland Primary School. They did very well and came 3rd overall.  Here they are with their certificates.  Well done to all of them!

We have a number of staff moving on to new challenges at the end of this year.

Mrs Smith has secured a promotion, and will become a Deputy Headteacher at a school in Lancashire.

Miss Ashraf will be leaving us to relocate to London.

Mrs Rathbone will be moving to one of our local Rochdale schools – Springside Primary School – to begin a new chapter of her teaching career. Finally, Miss Lever will be moving to teach at a school in Bury.

I am sure you will join us in wishing them well for the future. Further information about staffing in September will be sent out at a later date.

Just a reminder that on Tuesday next week, we will be hosting our French Day in school.  The school menu has changed for that day (see newsletter) and will be displayed in French in the school dinner hall.  We invite children to wear non-uniform that day, ideally wearing the colours of the French flag, red/white/blue. Some of our Nursery and Reception children are going to the beach on Tuesday & Wednesday next week.  Parents of children going on Tuesday, will be notified by text beforehand.  Please may we remind those parents that their children must wear school uniform to go to the beach.  Thank you for your co-operation

This week’s winner is still our un-beaten champion Qasim, with an average time of 0.48 seconds again.  Well done Qasim!

Every week during PE Mr Hilton chooses pupils from each year group to be his PE superstars of the week. Mr Hilton has chosen the following children who were fantastic in PE last week:  Well done everyone!

On Tuesday 16th July we are looking forward to celebrating our Year 6’s transition to High School with our Leaver’s Ball!  Times are yet to be confirmed, however, letters will go out shortly with more information.  We hope all our Year 6 children can make it!

Please can we ask our parents and carers to make sure that dinner money is paid up to date by the end of the term.  If you do  not know how much you owe, please contact the school office for help.  From September 2019, there will be a slight increase in the cost of a school meal by 5p, to £2.20 per day.  Thank you for your

co-operation.

Following our Summer Fair at the end of the last half term, we are pleased to announce we made a total of £602.05!  Thank you to all our parents who came along, and to our PTA for working hard to arrange the event.  Thanks also to staff who managed the stalls on the day.  We hope you all enjoyed it and once again well done to all our raffle winners!
