Choir
Return after illness
Please bear in mind that if your child
has had a virus (particularly including a
temperature, sickness and diarrhoea)
they are likely to be infectious to
others and should not return to school
until they have been clear of symptoms
for 48 hours.

I am assembling a choir to take part in a

special concert organised by Lancashire
Music Service on 1st July at the Guild Hall.
The choir is open to all pupils in KS2,
including children in Year 3. There are
only 30 places available and priority will go
to those children who have attended choir
regularly since September. Please see
separate letter sent out today.

Thank you
To parents from Miss Bird
for the Reception shoebox
gardens. They were lovely
and have brightened up our
Library Area beautifully.
The gardens can now be
collected from school.

Attendance
stands at 97.13% for the
whole school since
September. Fantastic!
Please make sure your child
is in school every day
possible.
If your child has a local
appointment during the late
morning, you should still
bring them to school for
their first lesson.

Stand up for School Campaign

I believe in the power of education to change lives and enable children to improve their own life
chances as well as influencing the lives of others around them. Ultimately I believe that good
education can make the world a better place. It seems incredible and disappointing to me, therefore,
that there are millions of children around the world who do not have the same advantage as our
pupils. I just signed the petition campaign organised by Stand up for School, a charity which is
working to make the right to a basic education a reality for every child globally. It is supported by
Sarah Brown (wife of Gordon Brown MP). I invite you to visit their website and consider signing the
petition yourself. Thank you, Mrs Gregory.
