What a great week we’ve had in school! Mrs Mather and a small group of children enjoyed a brisk Walk 2 School on Tuesday morning. This was our last walk of the year. We will be back with our next Walk2School on Tuesday 14th January 2025.
We had our dress rehearsal on Wednesday, and we are all ready and raring to perform to parents and carers on Monday.  

New SENDCO – we are pleased to inform you that Mr Ben Maunder has been appointed as SENDCO. He is an experienced SENDCO and we are very much looking forward to working alongside him to continue to support the children at our school. He will start with us in January.

Christmas Cards – we still have some Christmas cards / mugs / cushions etc. which need to be paid for and collected. Please pop in on Monday to pay / collect.

‘The Inn Crowd’ – the highlight of the festive school calendar is almost here!
There will be two performances; both on Monday in the Church at 2.00pm and 6.00pm.
All children are expected to return to the Church by 5.45pm dressed in their costumes.

Well done. All children are encouraged to bring any recent outside of school achievements into school, be that for sports, swimming, cubs, brownies etc.

Governor News –
Your governing body has recently invited me to become its Chair a position I am delighted to accept. As a result, I would like to introduce myself to you and your children – the most important part of our school community.
My name is Stuart Hemingway, I live in the local area, and I have been a school governor for over ten years first of all at Leck St Peter’s and then at Hornby St. Margaret’s through the federation of the two schools. Before I retired, I was Head Teacher of a high school in Leeds.
The governing body exists to be a critical friend to our Head Teacher, Mrs Davison, and all her staff and to support everything they do to help your children reach their potential in a safe, happy and caring environment.
The current governing body is made up of a very experienced team of parents, staff, members of the community and of course the Church. If you would like to know more about the work of the governing body, please feel free to contact me through the school.

Warm regards,

Stuart Hemingway
