Sports Day tomorrow
Dear Parents and Carers,
Hopefully our Sports Day will take place tomorrow on Friday 26th June 2026. Currently, the weather forecast indicates thunderstorms tomorrow morning. If we do have a storm, this will prevent us from having Sports Day as we have to follow health and safety guidelines regarding staying indoors for 30 minutes after the final clap of thunder.
Shade
If you have a gazebo, please bring this to provide shade for you and for other parents. We will be putting up gazebos for our children to sit under on the Rugby Club field. Our Nursery/Reception children will be sat in the shade provided by the trees on our school field.
A couple of changes ...
Due to the heat, we have had to slightly adapt the events tomorrow. We will be sticking to our timings to limit the amount of time your children are in the sun. This might mean that we do not get through all of the events but we will do our best to do so.
The day will be split into separate sessions for different year groups. Please see the timetable below:

Year 6 Secondary Transition Days
Dear Parents,
A reminder that Secondary Transition Days will take place next Monday and Tuesday.
Please note the following uniform arrangements:
• St Bernard's Catholic High School and Ulverston Victoria High School have asked children to attend in their primary school uniform.
• Dowdales School and Chetwynde School have asked children to attend in their primary PE kit.
Please check with your child's secondary school nearer the time, as they may change their requirements to outdoor/PE clothing if the hot weather continues.
Many thanks,
Mrs Kaighan
Year 6 Information
Dear Parents,
As you may be aware, when the children had their move-up morning last year, they created a Year 6 bucket list of activities they would like to do after SATs as a reward for all of their hard work. One of the most popular requests was to have a water fight!
Now that the lovely weather has finally arrived, we have decided to make this happen on Thursday morning.
Please can children come to school wearing clothes that they are happy to get wet in. They should also bring:
- Their outdoor school uniform and a pair of trainers to change into afterwards
- A towel
- One water pistol
We are looking forward to a fun morning and a well-deserved treat for the children after all of their hard work this year.
Many thanks,
Mrs Kaighan
IMPORTANT - School uniform this week
The weather forecast indicates a hot week of weather. With this in mind, we need your children to be as cool and as comfortable as possible. Your child is welcome to wear their PE top and shorts all week if they would prefer to do so.
Please also remember to apply suncream to your child before they come to school and they can bring in suncream to apply in the afternoon.
Your child will also need a sun hat and a refillable water bottle.
Thank you for your support.
