Friday 23rd October As we break up for the half term, I reflect with joy upon the events that have happened since Mrs Holt and I took up post in September. The children, staff and parents have welcomed us with open arms and together we have created some wonderful memories including Borwick Hall, Roald Dahl Day, Book Fair and Back to the Future Day. I thank you sincerely for your support and look forward to creating more memories as the term progresses through the reflective period of Advent Dogs Please do not bring dogs onto the playground as they can cause Health & Safety problems. A reminder that our new website is now live and can be found at www.cathedral.lancs.sch.uk. There are many items already loaded onto the website and many more are planned. The website will be updated on a regular basis and will allow you to see the work that the children have been doing as well as downloading key policy documents and letters. Please let us know if you have any suggestions for the website as we want to make it as useful and user-friendly as possible. We have also launched a new twitter feed and would love you to ‘follow’ us @cathedrallancs
