Family Sports Night and Summer Fair

For the sports event, family groups of two adults and up to three children are invited to register their team and take part in loads of fun sporting activities. This is always a great night and people always enjoy the get together. Forms to register your team will be sent out soon.
Parking
Please park considerately around our school and keep our children safe!
We have had a number of complaints from residents of the new housing estate next to school. We have been informed that parents are parking inconsiderately by blocking resident’s driveways and some are parking dangerously at the junction or on the Zig-Zag lines, causing visibility issues for vehicles exiting the junction and pedestrians of all ages who are crossing the road. Lancashire County Council have informed us that if anyone parks in a restricted area, they could face a fine of £70 – we recently had a traffic warden outside issuing these fines. Restricted areas include: Zig zags and school entrances, dropped kerbs, resident’s driveways and opposite or within 10 meters of a junction – so that children can see cars and cars can see children.
Reverend Nikki Mann
Rev Nikki will be ordained Priest on Saturday 29th June at Blackburn Cathedral. Once she is ordained she will take over as Curate-in-charge of St Luke’s and St Chad’s. We are very excited by this news and look forward to working with her as she continues the work she has already started in Skerton and Ryelands.
Mrs Hatton is retiring
At the end of this school year, Mrs Hatton will be retiring after 32 years working at St Luke’s School. We are planning some special celebrations to say thank you for all her hard work over the years. As we put together a memory book, we would love for you or your children, to share memories and thoughts that we could add to this book. If you would like to add a thought, memory or message for Mrs Hatton, please email them to Mrs Armistead head@skertonstlukes.lancs.sch.uk and these will be added to the memory book.
If you would like to add a donation towards a gift, please put your donation in an envelope and label it for the attention of Mrs Armistead. Your name will be added to Mrs Hatton’s card once Mrs Armistead has received them.
Transition
We are having two full Transition Days in school this year. Thursday 11th July and Monday 15th July. The children will meet their teacher for next year and spend these two days learning with them in their new classrooms. Parents are invited to come to school on Monday 15th July at 2.30pm to meet their child’s/ children’s new teacher and join them in class finding out about all that they will do next year.
