Headteacher Update for Parents/Carers 24/04/20 Dear Parents/Carers, Introduction This week would have marked the first week of the summer term back in school after the Easter Holidays, under normal circumstances! I know I speak for all the team at Bishop Martin when I say we are missing you all and the children hugely and look forward to the time when we are told by the Government that school can be safely reopened.

Please make sure you redeem these vouchers as soon as possible as the codes expire after 30 days. Once you have the voucher the spend time is 12 months or longer. I understand that from next week you will have the option to redeem the voucher for Aldi as well as Asda, making more choice availability to you If you are having problems please contact school by email @ (office@bishopmartin.lancs.sch.uk) Home Learning Support The teachers have been busy this week maintaining the online content for your children to access.

It is essentially another online learning platform where content can be accessed from ReceptionY6. The teachers have been going through the material this week that has been posted to
