Kirkham Grammar School Junior, Infant and Pre-School Issue 12 Friday 29 April 2016 Dear Parents Summer has arrived – or at least British Summer! That is certainly how it felt last Thursday, when we welcomed everyone back after what I hope was an enjoyable Easter break for all of our families. There is much to look forward to this term, so please do keep an eye on this fortnightly newsletter, as well as the school calendar on the website. If you are able to join us for any of these events, you will be given a very warm welcome. We have enjoyed another action packed week in school, with so much impressive learning taking place in all year groups. The progress our pupils have made since September is superb. We are sharing many learning experiences on Twitter and Facebook, and I would urge you to follow us so that you can keep up to date with what is going on in school. There have been a large number of visitors in school over the last two weeks, and all of them have commented on how impressive our school is! In particular, a number of them noted how high our expectations are and how remarkable the children’s attitude towards their learning is. Your children are a real credit to you all and we are extremely proud of what they are achieving in school. Please can I insist that parents are considerate at all times when driving on the Junior School site. Unfortunately we have received two parental complaints this week. There are double yellow lines outside the front of the school and down the side for good reason – please do not park there to either pick up or drop off your child, as this only causes a back-up of traffic, which leads to frustration. Please can I remind you that the safety of all our children is of paramount importance. Thank you in advance for your support. Finally, may I please remind you that school is closed on Monday for the Bank Holiday and so I wish you all a very enjoyable, long weekend.

On Monday 18 April, Sarah Hagan, a trustee at CITC, came in to KGJS to present us with a certificate of thanks for raising, to date, a wonderful £3600 for our school charity, Classrooms in the Clouds. This is a fantastic achievement, and the amount raised is the equivalent to two teachers’ annual salaries in Nepal! Thank you to everyone for their continued support, in raising money for this very worthwhile cause.
