We will be holding our annual Family Sports Night on Thursday 4^th July after school (sports events start at 4pm)  – 6.00pm. There will be lots of stalls and prizes to be won at the 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.

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.

Rev Nikki will be ordained Priest on Saturday 29^th 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.

We are having two full Transition Days in school this year.  Thursday 11^th July and Monday 15^th 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 15^th 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.
