Thanks to All

As we come to the end of another academic year, I want to say thank you to all who helped our children flourish in so many ways. Staff across school have worked so hard with great dedication for each child to be the best they can. This includes midday staff, admin staff, teaching assistants, our Maintenance Officer, cleaners and kitchen staff and of course teachers. Each does their part to support each child’s growth and flourishment. Likewise, the governing body has supported myself and the school to strive for the best in all we do.

Thank you also to all our families who support us in a genuine partnership. One function of a Catholic school is to support parents in the education of their children in faith and we thank you for allowing us to share in this privileged role. The development of the child in a Catholic school is not simply about personal faith but in all aspects of their lives – academically, socially, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you for this honour.

A special word of thanks must go to our PFA who work tirelessly for our children. Their events raise crucial funds that support our work and this year have included events such as the Santa dash, the colour run and the summer fair. To all thank you and to those leaving us may the Lord bless you as your children go to their new high schools.

Staff would like to say thank you for the kind words and gifts you have made. Enjoy the break and we look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday 4 September for the new academic year.

HAF Programme

Active Future are running a HAF project on behalf of Warrington borough council at Great Sankey Primary School from the 29th of July to the 16th of August from 10am-2pm Monday-Friday those weeks.

If you are unfamiliar with HAF it is a free multi sport holiday club for children who are eligible for free school meals where children get a hot meal every day.

The biggest issue we find every year is that many people who are eligible for the camp don't actually know that these provisions are available to them so we are asking all schools in the area to forward our booking link onto those parents who are eligible. If you have any questions regarding our provision please let me know.

I have attached our booking link below:
