The children had a great day today for the Santa Dash. A MASSIVE thank you to the PFA for organising this.
Christingle
Calling all Angels, Kings and Shepherds living in the Parish and Great Sankey area to come to our annual Christingle Service on Wednesday, 11 December at 6.30pm in St Joseph's Church. Donkeys, sheep and any other animals are also welcome. Christingle kits are now available from school at £1 each. All proceeds from the sale of these kits will be sent to St Joseph's Family Centre.
Parent View
Please support us in completing the 10-minute Parent view questionnaire. It helps us review our practice. Presently, there are only a handful of replies which cannot give us useful information.

Late pick up after School
Please be reminded that school finishes at 3:15pm each day. Children cannot be left to wait while their siblings are at after-school clubs. Staff are unable to supervise children who are picked up late except in emergencies. Thank you for your understanding.
放学后迟接 请注意,学校每天下午 3:15 放学。当孩子们的兄弟姐妹在课外俱乐部时,不能让孩子们等待。 除紧急情况外,工作人员无法监管迟到的儿童。 感谢您的理解。
No Parking
Stopping outside school
At drop off and collection, please do not park in front of our neighbours’ driveways. It is inconsiderate and a hazard.
Thanks you for your support.
在上落車時,請唔好將車停喺我哋隔籬嘅車道前。 係唔體貼嘅,都係危險嘅。
感謝您的支持。
Food allergies
Please be reminded that some of our children suffer with severe allergic reactions to peanuts, nuts, lentils and peas. If an anaphylactic reaction occurs we are trained to immediately use Jext pens of Epipens and call 999.
Please do not use Nivea suncream as it has almond oil in it and we have children with severe nut allergies.
Please do not send any items containing the above into school for your child’s lunch or snack. This includes spreads like Nutella as it has hazelnut as an ingredient.
Thank you for your support, as always.
