We have received a number of complaints from local residents regarding parking around school recently. Please can parents be mindful about parking around school. Please ensure that you do not block driveways, you must not park on the zigzags or double yellow lines. Also please do not park on pavements as this can hinder access for emergency vehicles that may need to respond to emergency calls.  Please help us to keep our children and the community safe. Thank you for your co-operation.

Parents were invited today to watch their children receive special awards in our Celebration Assembly!  Well done to the following children:

Foundation Stage: Minahil Bajwa for having a fantastic attitude in everything she does.

Key Stage 1:  Sofia Hardy for making fantastic progress in her learning.

Lower Key Stage 2:  Arham Waqas for always trying his best and having a positive attitude to his learning.

Upper Key Stage 2: Zayan Ghulam for her hard work and progress in both Maths & English.

Please see our Celebration Assembly website page for details of their achievements and our video!

On Tuesday 26th February, our second group talented musicians attended the Rochdale Music Festival at Rochdale Town Hall. They were all incredibly brave playing to an audience and we were very proud of them.  They performed brilliantly.

On Wednesday 6th March some of our children attended the IPLCN Dance Festival at Hamer Primary School. The children performed beautifully and enjoyed the experience. 

* Update*

We had some amazing costumes (staff & children)!

Thank you to everybody who took part.

On Thursday 7th March it is World Book Day. We are inviting children to attend school dressed as their favourite ‘animal’ book character, or to wear an ‘animal print’ item of clothing.. Alternatively, children can wear a character costume from their favourite book. We look forward to seeing some fantastic characters in our special World Book Day assembly that morning!

On Tuesday 5th March our lucky Year 5 children went to watch the Halle Youth Orchestra. All the children enjoyed the experience of watching a professional orchestra!

We would like to say thank you to our wonderful PTA who have worked hard to provide funds for dictionaries for our Year 6 children. Thank you very much, this will make a big difference to their learning.

As you know at Marland Hill we have a strong focus on working in partnership with you to keep our children safe. Earlier this month specific and age appropriate work took place across the school during the national ‘Safer Internet Day’ to support the work we do to educate our children on how to keep safe online.

As you will no doubt be aware there has been specific media attention this week around online safety for children.

To allow us to work in partnership we have sent some further supportive information home on 28th February, which we hope may be of help to you all. Please see below for details. 

Should you require any further support or just want a chat, please do not hesitate to contact school.
