Newsletter 20th September 2024
It’s Harvest Time! It’s the time of year when we celebrate, with gratitude and thankfulness, all the great things we have in life. Each year in September and October churches and schools all over the country celebrate our natural world and say thanks.
Harvest Time
Our Harvest celebration will take place in school on Wednesday 25th September. Please bring in items that can be donated to food banks in the area. Urgently needed items include:
- Tinned chicken meals
- Biscuits
- Tinned Ravioli
- Tinned Steak meals
- Cereal
- Toothpaste
- Toothbrushes
- Tinned Macaroni Cheese
If you can’t provide these items then please bring in any items that are in date and able to be donated.
If you require assistance yourself, please contact Mrs Walling-Lewis or Miss Stephenson by calling 01524 65445 Ext 3 for support and referral for assistance
Kind Regards,
Mrs Armistead
Appointments
We cannot allow children to leave school e.g. for a dental or medical appointment before the end of day, unless collected by a parent or responsible adult. We ask all parents in KS1 when they start school to provide us with a list of adults who have permission to collect their child. The list must be kept up to date at all times. If an adult attempts to collect a child and their name does not appear on the list, we will refuse them.
Parking
When dropping off or collecting your child, please park with consideration. Do not park across resident’s drives or park on the grass embankment across from school. We suggest you park at the community centre which in itself is safer as you do not have to cross the main road. Do not ‘stop’ or ‘park’ on the yellow zig zag lines outside school – this is dangerous and illegal. Penalty tickets have recently been issued
Attendance
Open Morning/Afternoon
Do you have a child, or know someone who does, starting primary school in September 2024?
We are holding two Open Sessions for parents to visit school before applying for a place. Sessions will be in the school hall and include a tour of the school. Please book a session by emailing contact-us@skertonstlukes.lancs.sch.uk
