Alkrington Primary School After School Club

In last week’s newsletter I explained about the after school provision being set up to begin in September and run by school staff.
A letter has been sent out to parents and is available on our website, along with more information.
If you would like to request a palace at Breakfast or After school Club, or both, you will need to complete a form and return it to the school office. Places are limited and are filling up quickly, so be quick to avoid any disappointment. This applies to existing school
Breakfast Club users as well as new applicants.

Awards Evening

Well done to those children who were chosen as winners from each class and were invited to receive their award at the Awards Evening on Tuesday, earlier this week. I will provide a list – along with the winner’s inY6 – on the school website at the end of term and with a newsletter early in September.
