Our Year 3 classes are taking part in a Linking Project with Alkrington Primary School in Middleton. Some of the children from Alkrington Primary came in to see Miss Moulton’s class this week, whilst Mrs Hall’s class visited Alkrington Primary. Next week Miss Moulton’s class will visit Alkrington and the children from Alkrington will come and visit Mrs Hall’s class

Please note that only those on your child’s pick up list will be able to collect your child. If there is a temporary change to the collection of your child you must inform the school office so we can pass this information on to classes.

If you wish to add someone on to the pick up list, you must come and fill in a form at the school office.

Please be aware that as part of our school policy, as agreed by governors, only adults (aged 18 or over) are allowed to collect children from school. Anyone under 18 will not be allowed to collect.

Over the last few weeks, the PTA have been busy organising our Easter raffle & agreeing dates of future events & meeting with Mrs Cunningham, to help raise more money for our children.  If you have any questions or ideas you would like to discuss please join us for a cuppa and a biscuit (or two!) on Tuesday mornings at 9am, in the school meeting room.  Please note there will not be a meeting on Tuesday 26th March, due to our parents meetings.

Our Easter raffle tickets will be available from Monday 25th March, for 20p each.  These can be purchased from our tuck shop each morning.  Please note that children in Early Years and Key Stage 1 can also buy tickets. If they bring money in to their class teacher we will send a ticket/s back to class. Our prizes are pictured here. Thank you to the PTA for organising!

£296 was raised in total.  Thank you everybody!

Thank you to everybody for their donations to Comic Relief today.  We will let you know the total raised as soon as possible.  The children looked amazing in their 'red' outfits in assembly this morning.  What a marvellous effort.  

This week was our School Safety week.  Our Y6 children visited the Crucial Crew.  A team of multi-agency representatives who taught our children about topics such as first aid, road safety, and the dangers of drugs, crime, vandalism, and water safety.   We also had a visit from our local fire brigade, who kindly took some time out to visit our children and talk to them about fire safety.

In October 2018 we introduced new rules for mobile phones in school Only our Year 6 children with permission to walk to and from school are allowed to bring a phone to school if you deem it necessary.  On arrival at school, all phones must be handed into the office immediately, and can be only collected at home time.  Any child found in possession of a mobile phone, will have it confiscated.  Parents/carers will be contacted and asked to collect it in person.
