I’m sure you will agree, all the children put on an amazing performance. I would also like to thank all of the Key Stage 2 staff for all the time and effort they have put into making this wonderful performance come together. Costumes, scenery and the performance as a whole would not be the same without their input. One of our Year 1 parents, Mrs Khatir, is holding an exhibition of her abstract work at Blackburn College.

Recycling for School Sacred Heart, with the Recycling Factory, are introducing an ink and toner cartridge recycling scheme in school. For every cartridge the Recycling Factory are able to recycle successfully, they will pay school £1. If you have any empty cartridges, please bring them to school and help raise funds for your school. Thank you. Healthy Schools – If your child brings a packed lunch, can you please send them into school with a healthy dinner. There has been a high number of children who have been bringing chocolates/crisp for their lunch. A small treat can be given to your child on Friday. Thank you. There are still a nigh number of children being picked up from outside the school gate at the end of the school day. It is very important that all children are picked up from the school playground, where the class teacher can clearly see the child has been picked up. Children will not be allowed out of the playground until their adult has picked them up from their teacher. Reminder There are still a lot of children being collected from school at the end of the day from behind the school railings. It is very important that parents/carers collect their child from the correct place. A reminder of collecting points: Reception – please collect your child from the reception class door. Year 1 and Year 2 – please collect your child from the double doors on St Silas Road. Year 3 to Year 6 – please collect your child from the school playground. Please note – children in Year 4 to Year 6 are allowed to walk home on their own provided we have a permission slip returned to school. Thank you.
