Holiday Activities and Food Activities
The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme is a scheme funded by the Government and delivered by local councils, providing healthy food and fun activities to children and young people, with free places available for those on free school meals.
Sessions will include a variety of fun activities, including sports, music, arts and other exciting opportunities to learn and develop skills like meeting new friends, alongside a nutritious meal each day.
For information on how you and your family can get involved this Easter, or to book your place please visit Get Stuck In or call the booking team on 01254 784105 (Option 2). You will need an FSM code which the school office will be able to give you. I’ve attached a list of activities to this newsletter.
Golden Envelope Assembly
Our Golden Envelope Assembly will be taking place this Friday at 8.40am. Parents of children who have been chosen to receive a progress certificate will have received a text on Friday, inviting them to comeand join us for our final assembly of the term.
Doves’ Class Assembly
A big thank you to our Doves’ class for their fantastic ‘Stone Age’ assembly last week! It was great to see so many parents and carers in the hall, supporting their children. The next class assemblies will now take place in the summer term.
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) – Free Classes
Blackburn with Darwen Adult Learning are offering a free five-week pre-entry course for parents. The sessions will include developing key language to promote communication between home and school. Please see the flyer attached to this letter with details about dates and times.
Parking on Cambridge Street
Please can I remind all parents and carers to park considerately on Cambridge Street when dropping off and picking up their children. The key thing to remember is to make sure you do not block any driveways as residents do need to be able to leave to get to work and for appointments etc. Thank you.
Online Safety Newsletter
April’s edition of our online safety newsletter is now available on the website (Parents – Online Safety). These are a great way of keeping up to date with what your children might be experiencing online.

Term Dates
School closes at 3.00pm this Friday, 4th April for the Easter holiday. We will re-open on Tuesday 22nd April at 8.20am (Breakfast Club at 7.45am).
Please note that we start back on the Tuesday due to the fact that Monday 21st April is Easter Monday, a Bank Holiday. I hope you enjoy a lovely break with your children.
