July Newsletter

On behalf of the staff of Sacred Heart, we would like to thank all parents, grandparents, volunteers, Governors and parishioners for their help and support throughout the year. I would like to thank all the children for all their hard work, and we intend to keep up the achievement next year.

I hope everyone has a wonderful summer holiday, and we finish at 1.30pm on Thursday 20th July!

Mr Eaton

SPORTS DAY
Thank you to all the parents and family members who supported the children for our sports day. We appreciate you giving up your time to support your children.
The children produced some exciting races, and thank you to our staff for preparing for the sports day. Every child tried their best, and that is the only objective for everyone!
Thank you also to all competitors in the parents’ race, and for being good sports!

The Breakfast Club is open from 7.30am until school time, and children receive food and drinks at both the breakfast and after school clubs.

REMINDERS
Book bags are available from the school office for £5.
Articles of jewellery (including earrings) are not allowed in school, they could cause injury to the wearer or another person. Earrings have been a constant source of argument and injury in the past. The Local Authority bans them for P.E. and swimming. The Governors of this school have ruled that no jewellery, other than a wrist watch, can be worn in school. Shoes must be worn as standard uniform. Please ensure all nail varnish is removed before attending school.

LOST PROPERTY
Please can all property and clothing belonging to your children have their names written or sewn in.

SCHOOL CAR PARK
Please could all parents refrain from using the school car park when collecting children from clubs that finish at 4.30pm, and especially dropping off at school time in the morning.

HAIR
At Sacred Heart, Mohican hairstyles and shaved patterns into hair are not acceptable. Also, please do not wear fashion bows. Bobbles and small clips are preferable, thank you for your cooperation.

MEDICINES
Please make sure that the medicines permission form has been completed if your child needs prescribed medicines in school. If you need a form please contact the school office or Mrs Bowden.

ADMISSIONS FOR FUTURE YEARS
If you would like to add your child to the admissions list, please see me or Mrs Fairclough. If you have a sibling of a child currently at Sacred Heart, it is still worth registering with us. We also hold registers of interest for 2018 and 2019.

FRIENDS OF SACRED HEART
We are planning for the summer fair, with a very special theme planned this year, to celebrate 20 years of Harry Potter! Our next meeting is Tuesday 4th July at 3.30pm.
If you can’t make the meeting but can help, please see Mrs Johnson or the school office.

MUSIC
If there is any child from Y1-6 in September who would like to learn to play the violin, guitar, keyboard, clarinet, flute or brass, please speak to Mr Eaton or Mrs Fairclough, and we can arrange this for you.

SCHOOL MEALS
We are continuing to retain our school meal price at £1.65 per meal, which we will continue to keep for the foreseeable future, still the lowest of all the local schools. School requires two week notice if you change from school dinner to packed lunch or vice versa.
