Newsletter 7.2.24
Dear Parents/Carers,
It's been spa day in EYFS today, with a focus on well-being and some spa treatments too! Added to the Wonderdome visit, road safety and Greek day, we've had another busy week in classes across school! Please see new and upcoming diary dates at the bottom of the newsletter.
A huge thank you to parents, friends and family members who came into school to read to our children for national storytelling week, which the children loved! With World Book Day on the horizon, there’s more reading fun on the way. Thanks to Mrs Holden for organising. I can recommend the website below, great for finding books appropriate to children of different ages with activities and suggestions for parents should you need them.

Wigan Institute of Education
We are proud to have been selected to be a lead primary school for a new and local teacher training provider - the Wigan Institute of Education. The core aim is to train local teachers to work in local schools, bringing their expertise and knowledge of the community with them. If you know of anyone who may be interested in getting into teaching, please share the website below, or give school a call.
Parents' Evening - Monday 3rd and Wednesday 5th March
Please look out on ParentMail for booking which will go live next week. The Book Fair will be there as usual too!
Bikes/Scooters
Please will you encourage your children to park up in the scooter/bike parks straight away and not ride around the playground first thing in the morning. Just to help avoid any accidents. Thankyou for your support with this.
Mrs Boffey
A reminder that we will be welcoming our assistant headteacher Mrs Boffey back from maternity leave after February half term. She will be returning to teaching in Y5, following handover from Mrs Stanley, of whom will remain teaching in the class one day per week until summer.
