School News

Infants

Infants had a fantastic time this week at Borwick Hall completing ‘Stick Man’ themed adventures. Different year groups completed different challenges which involved some canoeing and climbing hills. What fun! 

Can you help?

As a school, we are committed to helping children develop their reading skills and frequent practise really helps with this. Are there any parents who would be willing to help in school with hearing children read? Please let us know… we would really appreciate your time and help with this. 

Staff changes

Sadly, we will be saying goodbye to Mrs Cook at half term as she moves on to work for a local charity.

Parents will join with us in thanking Mrs Cook for her time at school and the fantastic work that she has done. She originally came to school on a short-term contract six years ago!

We are advertising her post and having a small move around of staff, including Mrs Shaw teaching the Lower Juniors, until we can appoint a replacement for the rest of this academic year.

If you would like to donate to a leaving present for Mrs Cook please send contributions to the office.

Scholastic Book Club

Did you know that if you order books from the Scholastic leaflet in last week’s Friday bag, we can earn commission for school in terms of books! 📚😁 AND! If you add them to our book club order via the link below they will be delivered to school free of charge! 🙌 Go to https://schools.scholastic.co.uk/hornby-st-margarets-ce-primar/digital-book-club to browse the latest books and order online. For every £1 you spend on this month’s Book Club, our school will earn 20p in Scholastic Rewards. Please place your order online by October 31st, 2022.
