Follow uswww.bishopmartin.lancs.sch.uk on Twitter @SkemBishopM Dear Parents/Carers, I hope those of you who have been able to meet with your child’s teacher this week on Zoom for the ‘Virtual Parents’ Evening’ have found them useful and informative. They can never replace the ‘face to face’ meetings we usually hold and I hope that in the Spring Term we will be able to return to those, but at least through using technology we have been able to give you access to your child’s teacher to discuss their progress. If anyone has struggled to access the meetings, or has a device that can’t support Zoom, please contact the school office and we will try to find another way of holding the meeting if you wish. It seems crazy that we have not long returned after halfterm and already we are looking forward to Christmas! Obviously this year is going to be very different to previous years given the restrictions in place but I can assure you the teachers and I are working hard to come up with a way whereby we can still provide a ‘Bishop Martin’ Christmas! I will be writing to you all with more details of our plans over the coming weeks.
SWIMMING FOR Y5 WILL NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE - see email sent out today. Individual and family photos - will not take place during Tier 4 restrictions. A new date will be arranged for after Christmas. Friday 27th November Non Uniform Day: A donation of £1 per child would be appreciated and will be collected at the school gate. The proceeds will go towards Christmas class festivities
Mr Ian McDonald Headteacher
