Wistaston Weekly
Week 34
Friday 14th June 2024
Next week has a definite sporting feel with Town Sports after school on Monday and Wednesday and of course, the main event, Sports Day, on Thursday.
We have all our fingers crossed that the predicted rain showers do not continue but if there is a possibility of these events not taking place we will of course, notify you at the earliest opportunity.
You will also notice that our website starts to look a bit different as we have been working with our trust, the TLP on updating the site and hopefully making it even more useful to you all. The changeover is currently ongoing and you may experience a few problems accessing the site until it is complete. Apologies if you are affected by this.
Don’t forget that the Wistaston Community Fair is taking place tomorrow and we will be part of the opening parade, celebrating 150 years of our school. Hope to see you there.
Kind regards
Mrs Elsley PrincipalUseful Dates for Diary
