Newsletter 18th December 2024

Thank you so much for your support throughout this term, especially in the lead up to Christmas. The children have worked hard and made some wonderful contributions through nativity performances and carol concerts. The support you show the children and the staff means the world to us. I wish you all a happy and safe Christmas and New Year!

Parent Attitude Questionnaire

Thank you to everyone who completed the Parent Attitude Questionnaire. Your feedback has been amazing, the highest number of replies EVER! I have analysed your feedback including suggestions and will respond to those in the New Year. In the meantime, I have created a Wordle using the three words that you, the parents used to describe Skerton St Luke’s. I think it sums us up pretty well!

Testimonials

It’s a lovely community. We all feel like a part of St Luke’s family. My child loves her teachers and knows other members of staff. It’s lovely to walk into school and people know my child’s name and always say hello to her, even teachers from other classes or Mrs Armistead.

Parent

I know when I drop my kids off they are happy and safe and they both enjoy their time in school.

Parent

Thank you for not only teaching my daughter but also caring for her. She’s really happy at school and is making great progress in all areas of learning.

Parent

The staff have been so supportive of my child with Special Educational Needs. They are amazing and it makes me confident that my daughter is well looked after and if she has any problems they will help.

Parent of a child with SEND

The Reception Open Day really showed the school in a good light. The Headteacher showed us round and knew all of the pupil’s names. All of the children we met were friendly and polite but more importantly they were all smiling whilst learning.

Prospective Parent

Teachers are very helpful, friendly and approachable
