Holy Family Catholic Primary School

Dear Parents/Carers,

I hope you have all had a restful Easter break. There are some changes to the PE days in Year 5 and Year 6 this term which are shown below:

Year 5 - Monday and Thursday

Year 6 - Monday and Tuesday

These changes are due to a change in the teaching of Music in the two classes.

Kind regards

Mr Healey

Good afternoon,

We hope that everyone has had a wonderful Easter break! This is just a reminder that all Summer term clubs will start this week for any children that have signed up to them.

There are also some changes to PE days in Key Stage 1 this term which are outlined below:

Year 1 - Mondays and Thursdays

Year 2 - Mondays and Fridays.

Both classes will have cricket lessons on Monday afternoons and their usual PE lesson on the second PE day.

Thank you!

There has been a mocha/light brown, teddy fleece, zip up jacket handed in to the school office.  It is from Next age 5.  If this is your child's please collect it from the Office. Thank you.

Hello, As we approach the Easter break and SATs period, we know some pupils may be feeling increased pressure. Please remind your child that feeling worried is normal, SATs do not define them, and looking after their wellbeing is important.  We also want to highlight Kooth, a free online mental health and wellbeing service for young people. Kooth is available over Easter, with live chat from 12pm–10pm on weekdays and 6pm–10pm on weekends, and other features available 24/7.

Thank you for your support.
