Newsletter 17.10.2025

Dear Parents/Carers,

Thanks for your time meeting teachers at parents' evening this week. We truly value the home/school relationship and will continue to aim to keep lines of communication high between school and home.

We have had a busy couple of weeks as you well know, from football tournaments to museum trips - not to mention Space Week! We are proud to share our achievements and photos on Facebook and Instagram as well as via the school website so do give us a follow!

Seeing the Y1 children dressed in outfits from decades gone by brought a smile to everyone's face yesterday - they really enjoyed their History themed day. We even managed to get the Spice Girls reunited for a day as well! Well done all!

Car Park

Please refer to Mrs Atkinson's message about the staff car park. We now have more staff than ever, so parking is pressurised, especially first thing in the morning. We need it free for staff to park safely, so please park elsewhere for drop-offs. Thanks for understanding.

Christmas Cards / Halloween Disco

Teachers have been sending home your children's Christmas card designs - they look fabulous. Please use the link on the card to order copies direct from the website - closing date is Tuesday 28th October. Thanks to FOMBA for arranging.

Speaking of which, the FOMBA Halloween Discos are this Thursday. We will communicate drop off and pick up arrangements early next week (all children must be collected by an adult).

The event schedule is as follows:

Time		Years
15:20 – 16:20		Early Years
16:40 – 17:40		Y1, Y2 & Y3
18:00 – 19:00		Y4, Y5 & Y6

Healthy Schools Celebration Event

Our PSHE ambassadors did a tremendous job representing school yesterday at the annual Healthy Schools Celebration Event. They learned lots, including life saving skills near water , strategies that support mental health and the importance of dental care. They also got the opportunity to see what is going on at lots of other schools in Wigan which gave us some great ideas! We then received our Healthy School certificate from Mayoress - Jenny Bullen and Councillor - Danny Fletcher. Well done to our ambassadors and to everyone for making us a healthy place to learn!
