Dear Parents
Welcome back following the Easter break. We hope that you managed to spend some quality time as a family and that your holiday was not spoilt by the weather.
Mr Allen
During the break Mr Allen became a father for the first time when his partner gave birth to their daughter. All family members are doing well. I am sure that you will join with me in wishing them all the very best for the future. Mr Allen will be absent on paternity leave for the remainder of this week and next week, in his absence Mrs Lawton will cover his class.
Miss Toomer
Unfortunately teachers are not exempt from being called to serve on a jury. Miss Toomer has been called for service and could be absent for this week and next, although this will depend on the court cases she is serving on. Mrs Hough will cover the class this week and will work closely with the rest of the Y3 staff to ensure continuity for the children.
Down Syndrome Day (Wednesday 21st March)
I am pleased to be able to inform you that we raised a total of £288.32 for the Cheshire Downs Association by selling Ginger Bread Socks on the day. The fundraising efforts also helped to raise awareness of Downs in the school community.
Sports Relief
Many thanks for supporting our fundraising efforts for Sports Relief prior to the Easter break. As a result of our efforts a total of £199.69 was sent to the charity.
Cross Country success
I am very pleased to inform you that our Y5/6 Cross Country team won the recent Winsford competition. As a result they will complete again this Thursday against the fastest teams from the Northwich and Winsford Areas, I am sure that you will join with me in wishing them all the very best!
Nursery Places
We are currently running at capacity for children attending Nursery, but due to a number of children moving into full time education we will have places available in September. Should you require a place for you child or would like to make an appointment to view the Nursery, please contact Miss Garnett (Nursery manager) via the school office.
Sponsored Reading Challenge
We have already started to receive sponsorship money from some pupils for the sponsored reading challenge. As we do so we will keep a total of the money raised by each class and post this on the website.
Well done to all concerned, we hope that you have enjoyed the challenge! Hopefully we will have sufficient funds to redevelop our school library!
Year 2 Residential Visit
This Wednesday the Year 2 will embark on their residential visit to Hartington. During their stay they will visit the Blue John Mines and Chatsworth House as well as conducting a village study of Hartington which will involve them linking up with children from the village school. This will be quite a contrast as there are only 17 children in the whole school!!! I am sure that you will join with me in wishing the children well for the Visit.
As I will be accompanying the Year 2 pupils to Hartington, Mrs Lowe will deputise for me in my absence. However I will be returning briefly on Thursday to support our cross country team before returning to Hartington.
Kind regards
Mark Joule
Head teacher
