Shawclough Community Primary School

Shawclough Community Primary School

Our School is Grade 1 Outstanding. Only 6% of schools in the country have achieved this. Very few schools have achieved this under the new regime. This means that we have been graded as one of the best schools in the country.

“Which famous person would you like to have as a friend?”

YOUR CHILD’S POSSESSIONS IN SCHOOL AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR All the children have been reminded to take home their belongings they no longer need in school i.e. books, coats, shoes, lunchboxes at the end of the school year. If left in school they will be disposed of immediately as we will be closed all summer for further work on our heating system and will be unable to store any items left on the premises.

SCHOOL CLOTHES FOR NEXT YEAR
PLEASE CAN I URGE YOU TO MAKE SURE THESE ARE LABELLED WITH YOUR CHILD’S NAME. It is quite amazing how many are not labelled, leaving school staff the unenviable task of trying to decide which item belongs to whom! PE kit is white T-shirt, black shorts, slip on pumps in a PUMP BAG. These are available from school. Also please ensure lunch boxes are clearly labelled.

GOOD BYE AND BEST WISHES TO ALL OUR YEAR 6 CHILDREN AND FAMILIES This is the time of year when, whether they want to or not, all our Year 6’s must move on to pastures new. I really do not think we will forget them in a hurry. Many of the families have had contact with the school for much longer than 7 years and it will be strange to no longer be seeing you any more. As you all move on to new adventures please go with our best wishes for the future and do come back and let us know how you are doing.

SUMMER HOLIDAY
Just a reminder that school closes at 3.15 p.m. on WEDNESDAY, 21ST JULY 2010 for the summer holidays and will re-open on Monday, 6th September 2010. We hope you all have a lovely holiday.

OFSTED
Hope everyone read our outstanding report. I would like to thank all parents for their responses and a big thank you to all staff and pupils for their fantastic contribution to school.

Enjoy the holidays.
