Tour of Britain Before the summer holidays, all schools in Rochdale were asked to enter a competition to design a flag to help promote The Tour of Britain Cycle Ride. One of our pupils, Lucy Grogan won this competition which means that she has had her flag published for everyone to wave at the start of the race and Lucy and her family have been invited to attend in the VIP box on Saturday 11 September. There will be lots of free activities starting at 8am – 1pm in front of Rochdale Town Hall – your child will have received a leaflet. This is a very big event for Rochdale so your support would be welcome.

Text Messaging Service We are continuing to use our text messaging service. In some cases we will be sending text messages to parents rather than sending letters so it is extremely important that you ensure you keep school up-to-date with any change in mobile phone numbers and that you return your new contact forms as soon as possible.

Youth Club Youth Club for Year 6 children will resume on Monday 13 September – letter to follow.

Swimming Team Training Years 5 & 6 swimming team training will resume on Friday 17 September at 8.30am – letter to follow.
