NEWSLETTER

Dear Parents/Carers,

As we approach the end of the school year, there is absolutely no slow down in the amount of acvies and pace of school life. Over the past

couple of weeks, there have been a myriad of acvies for the children taking place both in and out of school me, including the Rounders

event, Town Sports, Commonwealth Games, Cricket event, Orienteering, Y3/4 Reading Breakfast, the Recepon and Y1 class trips, high school

taster days and our new Recepon class and INSPIRE visits, to name a selecon. Our sta connue to work every

On Monday 11

th

July, the children will spend me with their new teacher, in preparaon for moving up into the next year group. A

transion meeng for Recepon parents has been arranged for the aernoon to explain how the curriculum changes as children move into the

key stage classes, and I will write to all parents to share the stang map for the next academic year. On Monday 18

th

July, the children’s end of

year school reports will come home, along with the individual results of this year’s statutory assessments. I am

exceponally pleased and proud of all of our children and sta for their phenomenal eorts this year following such a long period of

disrupon! The investment we have all made in ensuring children’s health and educaon remain as protected as possible has most

certainly paid o, and I look forward to sharing our overall school results and successes with you all before the end of term.

This year, we held our Recepon sports day at school, and our Key Stage sports days at the Wigan Rugby Club, to give our children the

or lm at these events, just as in school. We do have a number of children who do not have photo

permissions in place, and some of these are for serious safeguarding reasons. Similarly, dogs are not allowed at school events, due to health and

safety requirements of schools. Children have the right to enjoy their events without being distracted or upset or at risk, and we ask that all

parents respect this and co-operate with us by following school rules and requests. Many thanks for your understanding and co-operaon.

The nal newsleer of the year will be sent out at the end of term. Unl then, I look forward to seeing you at the many more events we have

planned over the last two weeks.

Kind regards

Miss Prior

subjects, along with the disrupon to educaon over the past two years,

together mean that the government are scrunising aendance more

closely than ever, and new rules around this are coming into force for

schools.

Over the year, we have seen an increase in the number of children being

collected early from school for various reasons, including going on weekend

holidays and aending swimming lessons. We are at the point where this is

becoming very disrupve for the classes and the school oce, aecng the

ecient running of the school and the learning of the children – both for

those collected and those who witness numerous children leaving early.

Thank you to everyone involved for your fantasc support!
